Horrors of 'Human Egg Farm' in Georgia: 100 Women Held as Slaves by Criminal Syndicate (Video)

Three Thai women, freed from exploitation by the 'egg mafia' after being held for six months, speak at a press conference in Thailand.

Around 100 women were kept as slaves on a human egg farm in Georgia, where they were pumped with hormones, exploited, and treated like cattle.

The shocking ordeal came to light after three Thai women were freed from captivity on January 30, following six months of exploitation at the hands of a criminal syndicate known as the 'egg mafia,' Bild reports.

The victims revealed that they were lured in by a fake job offer on Facebook, which promised salaries between €11,500 and €17,000 (£9,600–£14,100) for working as surrogates for Georgian couples struggling with infertility.

The three women, along with ten others from Thailand, traveled to Georgia in August 2024 under the arrangement of a female recruiter who covered their travel expenses and passport applications. However, upon arrival, they were confined in four large properties alongside nearly 100 other women and quickly realized they had been deceived.

Instead of becoming surrogates, the women were forcibly injected with hormones to stimulate egg production and subjected to monthly egg extractions. One of the freed victims described their harrowing experience, saying they were treated like cattle, with some women receiving no payment at all for their eggs.

Cryogenic storage container holding harvested eggs allegedly linked to a black market operation.

When they pleaded to leave, they were told they had to pay a €2,000 (£1,670) ransom to the farm owners for their freedom.

The breakthrough came when one former victim managed to buy her freedom and alerted Pavena Hongsakula, founder of a Thai foundation for children and women. She reported that several other Thai women remained trapped on the farm, unable to afford their release.

According to Ms. Pavena, the harvested eggs were trafficked across borders and sold on the black market for use in in-vitro fertilization (IVF).

Following intense coordination between the Pavena Foundation and Interpol, three Thai women were freed on January 30 after a ransom was paid for their release.

The exact number of women still trapped on the 'human farm' remains unknown. Thai authorities, alongside Interpol, have launched an international investigation, with police in Thailand stating that further rescues could follow as the case unfolds.
