ON Facebook, you will find a man named Meer Jon Meer who lives in Moscow, Russia. The couple occupies the main bedroom while a second bedroom with bunk beds serve as crowded and expensive accommodation for new recruits from Hong Kong. Unfortunately, Hong Kong does not have an anti-human trafficking law or even policies and programs against illegal recruitment like we do. Philippine Ambassador to Russia King Sorreta expressed willingness to help Meer’s victims who flew all the way from Hong Kong to non-existent jobs in Moscow. From Hong Kong to Russia, the women that Meer has enticed and duped and swindled have debts of their own to pay, and sad stories to share.
