Mongolian women trafficked into forced marriages.

There is a growing number of Mongolian women being trafficked into forced marriages with Chinese men. The women lose all rights in their new country, are often beaten and forbidden to leave the house. In some instances the women are forced into prostitution. There is little understanding of the problem of human trafficking in Mongolia. B. Ganbayasgakh, Leader of The Gender Equity Center said “All victims of human trafficking in Mongolia are cheated by the information of the intermediary when they first become a victim of this crime,”
“Most of the victims of human trafficking had no awareness about what sexual exploitation is and no information about human trafficking abroad. Also, the victims had not studied about the country they were being sent to and they didn’t know how they could contact the Mongolian council or where the Mongolian embassies are located in these countries,” said Ganbayasgakh.
Captain B. Otgonbayar, Senior Inspector of the State Investigation Office said;
“We took a study from senior pupils of a secondary school asking, ‘Would you go abroad as a result of a person’s information or announcement by the media promising help to enter a job with a high salary?’ Unfortunately, 75 percent of them said they would directly go,”
