Abstract
Human trafficking in China is a serious problem. According to a 2002 UNICEF estimate, there are approximately 250,000 victims of trafficking in China. Traffickers are increasingly linked to organized crime, and specialize in abducting girls and women, both for the bridal market in China’s poorest areas, and for sale as prostitutes in urban areas. North Korean refugees are an especially vulnerable group.
