FEATURED ARTICLES *** China teacher couple sentenced to death for child sex ring Two teachers who sold out pupils as young as 11-years-old to men seeking virgins for sex have been sentenced to death for running a child prostitution ring, Chinese press reports said Wednesday. The teachers, who were married, worked in southern Guizhou province and most of the 23 girls forced into sex slavery were students from the schools where they taught, the China Daily said. Six of the girls were aged under 14, according to the Shanghai Daily, which said that the victims supposedly being "virgins" was a main selling point. Other press reports said all the girls were aged from 11 to 17. Russian Federation [PDF] CHILD TRAFFICKING - Reportedly 15,000 women and
children were trafficked into "sex slavery" in China. There
are reports of children being kidnapped or purchased from orphanages for
sexual abuse, child pornography, and body parts. New Weapons Against Child Trafficking In Asia Commercial sexual exploitation of
children has become an issue of global concern, and appears to be on the
rise. Children are increasingly being bought and sold across national borders
by organized networks for work in sweatshops and brothels. The ILO has
launched a new programme to eliminate the practice. In Asia, trafficking in children
both between and within various countries is on the increase. In recent
years, large numbers of children from Cambodia, China, Laos and Myanmar have been forced to work as prostitutes
in Thailand. Both girls and boys from poor rural areas are lured by
professional recruiters and traffickers with promises of legitimate jobs in
Thailand's booming economy. The trafficking routes are well known, but are
difficult to close down. Girls from Myanmar are brought into Thailand through
various border checkpoints. In Cambodia, they arrive via several transit
points into Thailand. Girls from south
China enter by way of Myanmar, and children from
Laos are brought across the Mekong River into various provinces in north and
northeast Thailand. ***
