Hillary Rodham Clinton U.S. Secretary of State ordered a “thorough and comprehensive review” of a student visa program with which some companies have found cheap labor and criminals have brought women to work in the sex industry.

Some of the countries they come more women are Brazil, Peru, Russia, Ukraine, Thailand, Ireland, Bulgaria, Moldova and Poland. J-1 visa allows foreigners to work in the U.S. during the mid-year vacation. In a recent federal indictment accuses the mafia to use the cultural exchange program to bring Eastern European women to work as strippers and prostitutes, mainly in the New York City .

This visa program was created in 1963 to allow students from other countries to come to the U.S. on vacation for work and entertainment, reaching more than 100,000 young people dare year, but rumors say they became more cultural approach to business that .

In one case, a woman told the Associated Press news agency that a businessman had promised a job as a waitress in Virginia, but ended up beaten, raped and forced to work as a stripper in Detroit.

Big companies do it too.

More common than sex industry cases are poor housing conditions, very few working hours and very low pay. This past August dozens of  Hershey workers protested against working conditions in a candy factory Hershey, Pennsylvania.

A State Department spokesman said that Secretary Clinton called for a “comprehensive and thorough review of the program. We remain committed to working to strengthen the Programme for Summer Travel to Work in order to safeguard the health and welfare of participants. We have already instituted a reform package and are working towards additional ones that take measures to protect participants and prioritize the program’s original cultural intention. “
