“…Greenbaum suggested that healthcare providers working in pediatric emergency departments, child advocacy centers, and teen clinics serving patients reporting sexual violence need to be vigilant about considering the possibility of child sex trafficking when caring for adolescent patients [10]. Nguyen and Le pointed out other different victims of human trafficking in Vietnam including men, sex workers, migrants for work, and well-educated students [11]. Stockl researched bride trafficking from Vietnam to China, that victims were in the trafficking situation longer than individuals who were trafficked into other sectors (e.g., sex work, domestic work, factory work, etc.)…”

Human trafficking rose as a particularly concerning problem for the international community in the 1990s and early 2000. It quickly became an outbreak when facing the global pressure of illegal immigration, loose borders, security danger, and economic and territorial integrity. Women and children are two typical vulnerable objects, hence targeted by culprits in kidnapping, blackmail, trafficking, sexual abuse, exploited labor, or taking organs. With a complicated diverse terrain, child trafficking in Vietnam has been an unsolved issue, forcing the Vietnamese government to work harder to protect the future generation. Therefore, this research focuses on two main objectives, including investigating the protection of child victims of trafficking in Vietnam and proposing potential solutions in the future. The article suggests increasing the number and quality of research (conducted by Vietnamese organizations/experts) about child trafficking. Experiences learned from the Vietnamese context showed that frequent inspection, evaluation, and summarization in implementing international rules are necessary as well as remuneration for border sites or the police army. In the end, this paper might help other developing countries face difficulties from academic studies on child trafficking, new trafficking techniques, and victim assistance measures in the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…In early 2020, Vietnam was recognised as one of the few countries that successfully controlled the pandemic with Covid-19 cases amongst the lowest in the world throughout 2020 and early 2021 (World Bank 2021a). The early success has been attributed to the zero-new-case-approach including: (i) a rapid and coordinated public health response; (ii) massive quarantine and targeted lockdown; (iii) third-degree contact tracing 2 ; (iv) centralised patient management; (v) early school closures and robust border controls; (vi) mask policies and the 5K message (5K refers to the use of face masks in public places, disinfecting regularly, keeping distance, stopping gatherings, and the making of a health declaration); and (vii) innovative mass testing strategies (Le et al 2021;Nguyen et al 2021).…”

“…Vietnam is a source, transit, and, to a lesser extent, a destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for labour exploitation, sexual exploitation, forced begging, and organ trafficking, both domestically and internationally (Nguyen and Le 2021). Internal trafficking has also been recognised as a problem with the trafficking routes from rural to urban areas (Shelley 2010).…”

Despite the significant impact of the pandemic’s fourth wave, Vietnam’s overall strategy was seen as well planned with one of the lowest infection rates globally in 2020–2021. In June 2019, an estimated 540,000 Vietnamese migrant workers were recorded working legally in 40 countries and territories, making Vietnam a major labour exporter and one of the top ten countries to receive international remittances. Our research shows how Vietnam’s Covid-19 policy response has influenced Vietnamese migrant workers and counter-trafficking work, particularly in border areas. The research discussed four main findings. Firstly, border closures left many overseas migrant workers vulnerable and led them to rely on people smugglers. Secondly, the suspension of commercial international flights and a lack of transparency and favouritism in allocating seats on repatriation flights left many stranded. Thirdly, the national pandemic response plan suffered from limitations. Lastly, Covid-19 policies have led to new trafficking trends and challenges. Based on this evidence, the research suggests that digitalising and modernising social services could strengthen the inclusion of vulnerable groups, simplify the administrative and management process, save costs, and reduce corruption. Participation of vulnerable groups, especially ethnic minorities and overseas migrant workers, including fishers, should be ensured in national policy design and local implementation. Additionally, improving transparency and accountability of support systems could help gain citizens’ trust in the government, which would be beneficial for future crisis responses.

“…As the combination behavior of trafficking behavior, buying behavior provides a buyer's market for trafficking crime, which is an important reason for the repeated prohibition of trafficking in women. However, in a long period of time, the judicial practice rarely investigated the criminal responsibility of the buyer [3]. The Opinions on Punishing the Crime of Abducting and Trafficking Women and Children in accordance with the Law issued by The State Council of China and The State Council (the Opinions) require courts to distinguish between the crime of abducting and trafficking children and the act of giving them up for adoption according to whether the perpetrator has the purpose of making illegal profits.…”

With the disclosure of some typical cases, the crime of buying women has aroused the discussion in criminal law circles. Many scholars have examined situation of the legislation related crimes, and the call for the same crime of buying and selling women into the scope of legislation as well. In recent years, transnational and inter-regional crimes of human trafficking have been frequent, therefore, it is beneficial to promote international cooperation and provide reference for further legislation to combat the domestic buyer's market. In view of the differences in cultural customs and realities, it is obvious that the governance mechanisms about the crime of trafficking and buying women and children in different countries cannot be generalized. However, the successful experiences and lessons from them can be learned from each other with full respect for their national conditions and realities. By comparing Chinese and foreign criminal laws on the purchase of trafficked women, this paper provides a comparative analysis of the criminal legislative system of purchase in human trafficking crimes, discusses the current situation and shortcomings of China's purchase legislation, and at the same time proposes legislative and judicial recommendations to improve the purchase of trafficked women.
