Human Events: Thai women kept as slaves, human eggs forcibly harvested and sold, in Georgia
A Chinese criminal network enslaved around 100 Thai women in Georgia for human egg harvesting. Lured by false job offers for surrogacy, the women were subjected to hormone treatments and forced to undergo monthly egg retrievals. Conditions were described as inhumane, with some women receiving no payment.
Three women managed to escape and contacted a foundation for assistance, leading to their release after a ransom was paid. Investigations by Thai authorities and Interpol are ongoing to uncover the full scope of the trafficking operation.
