Danguolė Rasalaitė (19 May 1983 – 10 January 2000) was a Lithuanian girl who was sold as a sex-slave in Sweden late 1999. On 7 January 2000, she committed suicide by jumping off a bridge in Malmö. She died 3 days later in the hospital. Her case stirred much debate on human trafficking.
The film Lilya 4-ever is largely based on her life.
