Trafficking threat no deterrent


Perilous journey: Rohingya refugee children reciting prayers in 2017 at the graves of the Rohingya trafficking victims found in mass graves in Wang Kelian, Perlis in 2015.

AMINA Begum, a Rohingya woman living in a refugee camp in Bangladesh, is undeterred in her quest to join her husband in Malaysia even though she already fell prey to traffickers once.

The 18-year-old says she was raped by a soldier in Myanmar, and even the risks associated with taking the perilous sea route from Bangladesh to Malaysia seem preferable to returning home.
