Danguolė Rasalaitė (19 May 1983 – 10 January 2000) was a Lithuanian girl who was sold as a sex-slave in Sweden in late 1999. On 7 January 2000, she committed suicide by jumping off a bridge in Malmö. She died 3 days later in the hospital.[1] Her case stirred much debate on human trafficking.

The 2002 film Lilya 4-ever is loosely based on her life.[2]
