Following the recovery of a 21-year-old Thai lady who was duped into the sex industry and therefore lured to the United Arab Emirates for work, authorities will now increase their investigation into a suspected human trafficking ring.
The young woman from Lampang received support and arrived up on Saturday at U-tapao Airport in Rayong, said Kosolwat Inthuchanyong, director-general of the Office of Rights Protection, Legal Aid and Enforcement.
According to him, the woman may be questioned by ministry of social development and human safety personnel to decide whether she had been a victim of smuggling.
The girl claimed to have contacted the administrator after seeing a job advertisements for work abroad on social media.
She agreed to go to the UAE despite the high salaries and stated that she would not perform any sex solutions when she was looking to work in traditional treatment worldwide.
However, upon arrival, the treatment store owner confiscated her passport and forced her to have intercourse with customers. She refused and sought support, which gradually drew media interest.
According to Mr. Kosolwat, authorities had request officers to look into the suspects in the smuggling ring if she is identified as a trafficking victim.
Her grandmother’s appeal to state agencies to help save her granddaughter garnered media attention as a result.
According to Mr. Kosolwat, the prosecutors worked with the Department of Consular Affairs to offer support after receiving the complaint.
