 Refugees International: Articles: Trafficking of North Korean Women in China
The trafficking of North Korean women is common along the Chinese-North Korean border.  Some women are so desperate to leave North Korea that they knowingly take the risk of being sold into marriage with Chinese men.  Others reportedly end up in Karaoke bars or brothels.
It is difficult to know how widespread the trafficking of North Korean women is, especially given the limited access to North Koreans.  Based on the testimonies of these women who described the trafficking networks, and reports from several aid workers that trafficking is a serious problem along the border, Refugees International recommends that:
The United States Government press the Chinese Government to adopt these steps for the protection of North Koreans in China in the context of its on-going human rights dialogue with Beijing.
