North Korean women 'forced into sex slavery' in China - report
[BBC] Thousands of North Korean women and girls are being forced to work in the sex trade in China, according to a new report by a London-based rights group.At least they're getting something to eat? They are often abducted and sold as prostitutes, or compelled to marry Chinese men, says the Korea Future Initiative. The trade is worth $100m (£79m) a year for criminal organisations, it says. The women are often trapped because China repatriates North Koreans, who then face torture at home, it says. "Victims are prostituted for as little as 30 Chinese yuan ($4.30; £3.40), sold as wives for just 1,000 yuan, and trafficked into cybersex dens for exploitation by a global online audience," the report's author Yoon Hee-soon said.
