These women and girls were smuggled into the United States and were bought and sold into prostitution or domestic work, as property which became known as the “yellow slave trade”.
The mission of The Cameron House services has evolved over the years resulting in an agency that is a comprehensive family service organization serving low income Asian immigrants, youth and families in San Francisco.
