Just wondering why this is a first world story? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.204.1.226 (talk) 20:43, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia doesn't only cover "first-world stories". This clearly passes Wikipedia's notability guidelines, which is what actually matters. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:49, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@134.204.1.226: What are you saying? Wikipedia shouldn't be writing about an event that doesn't happen in a first world country? Doing that would be unbalanced and biased editing. This is a notable news story that is appearing in first-world news media, world-wide, at the moment. Even I am hearing and seeing this story from almost the ends of the earth on the other side of the world! If news media around the world think this is important enough for the world to know about, then perhaps Wikipedia should have an article about it, too. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 14:30, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This event was so widely covered in the media globally. For example, the BBC ran a breaking news story[1] covering this event, and has run a number of follow up stories since.[2] This is a good indication of its notability, and it seems entirely appropriate it is featured article.

This type of event is a global issue and is rightly included in Wikipedia. This event affects two countries and highlights a global issue of human trafficking. As mentioned by Cameron Dewe, this article meets the requirements of being news worthy and being reported by a reputable source. Jurisdicta (talk) 23:44, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
