Northern Cape, South Africa, South Africa
Three girls did happen to escape from this situation, but 13 girls were left behind at the house. Because of the lack of legislation against labor trafficking, there was not much the police could do. The girls were also happy to stay in their situation with a hope for possible payment, even if it is less than what they were offered.
