Trafficking is the most well-known form of modern slavery. It brings millions of people to countries where they often are promised work, a place to live and a better future.

The Gutu sisters thought they were going to work with old people, but instead they were forced into prostitution in Turkey. After a while, one of the girls became very ill, and her sister had to work for her, so that she could return to Moldova. One year later, she was free to be reunited with her family.

In this episode, we follow the Gutu sisters in the process when they're taking the traffickers to law.
