A report published by the Korea Future Initiative, a London-based NGO, reveals that thousands of North Korean women and girls are being subjected to forced marriage and prostitution in China. The report, which was presented in the UK Parliament on Monday, forensically details the vulnerability of women and girls as young as 12, who are being tricked into escaping North Korea only to be sold as sex slaves in China.
It says that trafficking gangs are running a multi-million dollar illegal sex industry in China. Experts say that North Korean women are especially vulnerable to human traffickers as they are desperate to flee the country.
Brokers involved in human trafficking know that their victims cannot turn to the Chinese police for help, analysts and activists say. Authorities in Beijing have vowed to take strict actions against trafficking networks operating in the South Asian country.
