MIGRATION, PROSTITUTION AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING: THE VOICE OF CHINESE WOMEN
Book ID/图书代码： 13149011B47647
English Summary/英文概要： Migration, Prostitution, and Human Trafficking examines the nature, magnitude, and gravity of prostitution and sex trafficking—and the relationship between them—in contemporary China. By researching the backgrounds, circumstances, and other factors that drive Chinese women to migrate to Shenzhen, China, Liu hopes to shed light on the underlying reasons for their entry into the sex industry. She details Chinese legislation and governmental practices for dealing with human trafficking and prostitution. Liu argues that the Chinese government is not aware of the severity of this problem due to lack of information.
The author begins by examining the historical roots of prostitution in China and provides the theoretical framework and historical background for the topic. She then explores the methodology of the study conducted—in-depth interviews, statistics, government documents, and personal observation. Data collected examines the lives of individual women before they became involved in prostitution and after. And finally, she discusses prostitution laws in China and draws conclusions about motivations for human trafficking—both from the perspective of the trafficker and the victim.
This imaginative effort provides a comprehensive look at Chinese migrant women in Shenzhen, China, and how they have become involved in prostitution and human trafficking. It is the author’s hope that increased awareness will lead to legislation that will stop this kind of exploitation. Prostitution is a global issue; its special dimensions in an expanding, market-driven economy encased in a communist political system are explored with candor and understanding. Liu deals with inherited issues and current practices in an entirely unique manner.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《人口流動，賣淫與人口販賣》一書探討了當代中國賣淫與性交易的性質、規模和嚴重性，以及二者之間的關係。通過調查驅使中國婦女遷移到深圳的背景，環境以及其他因素，劉敏希望揭露她們淪入性產業的深層次原因。作者詳細闡述了中國的法律以及中國政府在處理人口販賣和賣淫行為方面的政策。劉敏聲稱中國政府由於信息量不足而沒能意識到這一問題的嚴重性。
作者首先闡述了中國賣淫活動的歷史根源，從而為本書的主題提供了理論框架和歷史依據。接著，作者通過引入深度訪談，資料，政府檔以及個人觀察，探討了目前這一方面相關研究所採用的方法論。作者所收集的資料向我們揭示了那些女子在淪入性產業前以及之後的生活狀態。最後，作者討論了中國在賣淫活動方面所制定的法律，並從人販子和受害人兩方面得出人口販賣的動機。
這部富有創造力的著作從廣泛的角度審視了中國深圳的外來務工女子，以及她們是如何淪落性產業和人口販賣活動。作者希望通過喚起人們越來越多的關注和司法部門的高度重視從而消滅這種剝削行為。賣淫已經成為一大全球性問題，並且規模正在不斷擴大。作者以直白的語言和理解性的態度分析了社會主義政治體系下的市場經濟。劉敏以一種完全獨特的方式探討了這一歷史性問題以及目前針對其所執行的措施。（XMM）
