Approximately 40 million women and girls are missing from the populationand Chinas birth limitation policy continues to increase that numbermaking China a regional magnet for sex and bride trafficking of women from neighboring countries such as Burma. Cambodia. Vietnam. Laos. and North Korea. Indeed. an estimated 90 percent of North Korean women seeking asylum in China are trafficked as brides. And yet China does not take responsibility for the governmentmade disaster and provide these women with aid. Rather. China denies these women refugee status and sends them back to punishment in North Koreapunishments that far too often include execution. Yet we gave China a pass. turning our backs on these suffering women. But Asia is not the only place where there are victims of trafficking.
