He said human trafficking had taken a complex turn, as traffickers increasingly leverage social media platforms to trap unsuspecting individuals. "There have been reports of Vietnamese-led networks specialising in trafficking foreigners through Việt Nam to third countries," said Trình. He also said human trafficking in Việt Nam was most prevalent in the northern provinces bordering China, however recent border fence construction has prompted a southward shift in trafficking activities. "Communication efforts at border gates have resulted in 926 workers voluntarily abandoning their plans to leave the country after recognising the potential dangers of becoming human trafficking victims," said Thanh. Looking ahead, BGC remains steadfast in its commitment to eradicating human trafficking.
