Women Trapped in Cyber Scam Camps
New reports show that more women are being trapped
and abused in cyber scam centers across Southeast Asia.
These criminal groups trick people with fake job offers
for social media roles or factory work.
For example, a woman named Rachel was promised
a factory job but was sold to a camp in Myanmar.
Once there, workers are locked inside
and forced to work 18-hour days talking to 100 victims.
Their job is to build fake online profiles
to trick people into romantic relationships.
After winning a person's trust, the workers ask
them to send money for fake investments.
If the workers fail to find victims, they face violence.
Sarah, a 39-year-old mother from Uganda, was sold
to three different camps and suffered terrible abuse.
Amnesty International says women now make up
half of the survivors they interviewed this year.
That is a big jump from about 25% the year before.
That's a record.
Now, government raids are starting to free thousands of people.
