Women kept as slaves on HUMAN egg farm: 100 victims are fed hormones and treated like cattle, with eggs removed and sold each month by gangsters
Around 100 women were kept as slaves on a human egg farm in Georgia where they were fed hormones and treated like cattle.
Their horrifying ordeal has been revealed by three Thai women who were freed from the clutches of the ‘egg mafia’ on January 30 after being exploited for half a year, tabloid Bild reports.
The woman said they were held captive on a ‘human farm’ in the eastern European country of Georgia by a criminal organisation led by Chinese criminals, who sold their eggs on the black market.
They were lured in by a job offer on Facebook, promising them a salary between 11,500 and 17,000 euros (£9,600 to £14,100) to work as surrogates for Georgian couples who could not have children.
The trio travelled to Georgia in August 2024 alongside ten other Thai women.
Their expenses for the journey as well as their passport applications were paid for by the organisation, with a female employee organising their travel.
But once they arrived, they were housed in four large properties with around a hundred other women and realised the job offer was just a front.
Instead, the women were pumped up with hormones to stimulate their ovaries and were forced to have their eggs removed once a month, one of the freed women told a press conference this week.

She said they were treated like cattle and that some of the women did not even receive any compensation for their eggs.
If they asked their captors to leave, they were told they had to fork out 2000 euros (£1,670) for the farm owners first.
One former slave who worked on the egg cell farm bought her freedom and alerted Pavena Hongsakula, founder of a Thai foundation for children and women.
The woman told Ms Pavena that several other Thai women were still held as slaves at the farm as they could not afford to pay for their release.
The eggs collected from the women are understood to have been sold, trafficked in other countries for use in in-vitro fertilisation (IVF), Ms Pavena said at this week’s press conference, according to the Bangkok Post.
The Pavena foundation collaborated with Interpol and managed to free the three Thai women released on January 30 after paying the ransom.
It is not known how many women are still being held on the ‘human farm’.
Thai authorities and Interpol have launched an investigation, with police in Thailand saying that there could be other rescues as the case progresses.
