Located in South-East Asia on the Indochina peninsula, Viet Nam borders Cambodia, Laos and China. The single-party communist government that has ruled since reunification at the end of the Vietnam war in 1975 still maintains complete control of the State, ahough the economy has been gradually opened up in recent years. Political opposition is heavily restricted, as is freedom of expression in political matters. In addition, there are major problems with the trafficking of women and girls, particularly for sex work.
