Injured trafficking victim flown to US

A 19 year old Moldovan woman who fell from a sixth story window while trying to escape from her traffickers is to be taken to the US for treatment. Congress woman Kay Granger (R-Fort Worth) discovered the girl while on a fact finding tour of Albania, Greece, Italy and Moldova. The woman had received major spinal injuries which caused her to lose the use of her legs, but was being held in an inadequate medical facility in Moldova. Now, due to the Texas Back Institute Research Foundation, she will be given reconstructive spine surgery in the US.
“Bringing her here meant giving her a chance to heal and start a new life.” said Viorel Gorceag, a Moldovan doctor and medical officer of International Organization for Migration (IOM), who accompanied the young woman.
