The Republic of Korea (R.O.K.) is a source, transit, and destination country for women who are trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Women from Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, the People's Republic of China (P.R.C.), the Philippines, Thailand, and other Southeast Asian countries are trafficked for sexual exploitation to the R.O.K. Korean women are trafficked to Japan and to the United States, sometimes via Canada or Mexico, for forced prostitution. - U.S. State Dept Trafficking in Persons Report, June, 2006
Bur of Democracy, Human Rights & Labor - Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005
TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS � Women from Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, China, the Philippines, and other Southeast Asian countries were trafficked to the country for sexual exploitation. They were recruited personally or answered advertisements and were flown to Korea, often with entertainer or tourist visas. As of August the government had issued 4,551 entertainer visas. Once in the country, employers in some instances held victims' passports. The government has restricted issuance of certain types of entertainer visas. There was no credible evidence that officials were involved in trafficking.

Moreover, virgins are in great demand among Chinese from Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong. Chinese men prize sexual intercourse with young girls for the rejuvenating properties they believe to be associated with the act. According to O'Grady, "there are surprisingly large number of aging and wealthy Chinese businessmen who believe that they must deflower a virgin at least once a year to gain the energy needed to be successful in their business enterprise and have a long life"(16). However, the idea that a child is safer than an adult in terms of transmitting STDs and AIDS is only fallacy. In fact, children are at greater risks because of youth: their vaginas and anuses are easily torn, creating sores and bleeding that permit the AIDS virus to spread quickly.
Sex tours started in Japan, allowing groups of men to visit brothels in South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. Now South Korean and Taiwanese men are prosperous enough to travel on sex tours of their own to places like Bangkok or Manila. Southeast Asia is now the world's number one destination for tourists looking for sex.(20). Many sex tourists are from the West, but a great number of Japanese and Chinese are also drawn by the low prices, easy access to prostitutes of either sex at any age and the lack of enforcement of laws. Without doubt, the rising sex tourism is contributing to the spread of AIDS everywhere.

The rapid commercialisation of the internet has led to an explosion of child pornography, according to a UN conference being held in Bangkok.
Delegates were warned that child pornography on the net also led to more traditional forms of child abuse like prostitution and child trafficking.
John Carr, head of British Charity the National Children's Home, said 70% of convicted paedophiles were inspired to offend by viewing child porn on the internet.
As a specialist on how to tackle the problem, he was in Bangkok to warn nations in South East Asia that the internet threatens to increase their traditional problems of sex tourism and child trafficking.
Japan and South Korea have joined the US and Russia as the hosts of large numbers of child porn websites. With an increase in commercial opportunities from child abuse, criminal gangs have now become involved.
A website in eastern Europe that was recently shut down was found to be generating $2m a month from child porn.
That, says the UN, requires immediate global agreements to ensure that police forces are able to swiftly and efficiently take action against paedophiles, be they hardened criminals or simply domestic internet users.
More child pornography websites in Korea than in Japan. Number 3 in the world. Hmmmm...

Figures from the UK's Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) clearly illustrate the global nature of internet paedophilia. The IWF monitors the origins of all illegal child abuse images reported in the UK. The USA and Russia predominate in this roll call of shame. Criminals in these countries are the biggest suppliers of child pornography on the planet. Only two other countries are sufficiently large producers to warrant a specific mention. One is Brazil, the other is South Korea, each at 4%, compared with 55% and 23% respectively for the USA and Russia.

Japan though is the world's biggest player in used panties of teenage (and even younger) girls.
Man, I knew you hated Korea, I just didnt know how much.
So, it seems you are a real expert on where child porn sites can be found. Real big defender of children.... I guess you had nothing to say here, because God forbid you criticize Japan over anything

Korea is major player in the production and distribution of child pornography. Korea is a major sex trafficking hub. I provided links. You as usual provided the same old crap. Even your trolling is getting boring. *Yawn*
My links were from an old debate on child pornography on ESL Cafe.
Who's the Pedophile Now? Adjoshi.

Now why don't you tell me your opinion on the sexual slavery operation going on in North Korea in China currently and South Korea's cowardly and gutless stance on it. (ie doing sweet f*ck all) ? You have dodged that question for a while haven't you? |

Only one in 500 (0.2 per cent) of child abuse images on the net are hosted in the UK, down from 18 per cent in 1997.
That's according to a half-yearly study from the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) which found that paedophile sites hosted overseas remain accessible for up to five years despite being reported to the relevant authorities.
For example, a website first reported in 1999, that's become the subject of a further 20 IWF complaints, still remains available. The IWF is calling for greater international efforts so that sites hosting child abuse content can be rapidly taken down and so that those who publish illegal material can be traced and investigated.
Online photo album services began to be used for posting images of child abuse online in the first six months of 2006. Non-commercial hosting of images of child abuse on Japanese message boards continued to be a problem. While the abuse of US free hosting systems gathered pace. The distribution of child abuse videos online also grew in prevalence.
The IWF operates a hotline that allows members of the public or IT pros to anonymously report on child abuse content online as well as criminally obscene or racist content hosted in the UK. Any potentially illegal websites hosted in UK can be removed within 48 hours.
During the first six months of 2006, the IWF's hotline processed 14,000 reports, up 24 per on figures from 1H05. Many (5,000) of these reports were over paedophile websites, a 49 per cent increase on first six month of 05. Half (50 per cent) of child abuse content was traced back to the US, with Russia (15 per cent), Japan (12 per cent) and Spain (9 per cent) also acting as significant hosting locations for depraved images online.
The IWF suggests the rise in calls to its hotline takes might be down to public intolerance of child abuse content online combined with increased awareness of its role in combating it. Greater expertise in tackling new ways of distributing abuse images online by its workers might also be a factor, the IWF suggests.
Vernon Coaker MP, under-secretary for policing, security and community safety at the Home Office, said: "UK Ministers continue to press for greater action at an international level, but this report underlines the importance of the work the IWF and ISPs are doing to block all UK residents from accessing websites, wherever they are hosted, identified as potentially illegal by the IWF by the end of 2007.
"It is crucial to raise awareness among UK internet users about the IWF as the vehicle to report their inadvertent exposure to this type of content," he added.

I don't have a problem with you doggyji. You are pretty sensible I think.
Don't get me wrong. I have been branded as a Japanese lover by a certain troll on this board but I am not stupid. I know Japan has it's problems and this is one of them. I was merely stating that Korea has a big problem too.
Both countries have a lot of work to do in this area. Korea could start by having the balls to do something about the sexual slavery of North Korean women for starters.
I do not defend Japan at all costs. It merely seems to be that certain trolls seem to hate Japan and openly admit it. They start threads and hijack them with their own Japan hating agenda. When I respond with a counter argument or factual links or cast doubt on their crappy logic, I am branded a racist or Nazi or worse things. All because they are bored with life or something. Who knows... |

The real answer is of course that both Japan and Korea have a big problem with Child Pornography. Preying on the most innocent and vulnerable is vile beyond belief.
I sometimes post on the Japan today forum and I have had long running battles with Child Pornography advocates. One of them even became a Mod somehow. I must have campaigned for 6 months but I finally helped get him removed. I'll find the thread sometime. Sick stuff.
Reporting child pornography
One of the most appalling types of spam is spam advertising child pornography sites.
Child pornography sites make money through the sexual exploitation of children. Many of the victims are from Russia or Eastern Europe. Often the sites are hosted in Korea, Russia, China or other countries by webhosters who ignore all complaints.

Asia warned on internet child porn
By Tony Cheng
BBC, Bangkok
The rapid commercialisation of the internet has led to an explosion of child pornography, according to a UN conference being held in Bangkok.
Delegates were warned that child pornography on the net also led to more traditional forms of child abuse like prostitution and child trafficking.
John Carr, head of British Charity the National Children's Home, said 70% of convicted paedophiles were inspired to offend by viewing child porn on the internet.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3994977.stm
The report estimates the child pornography industry to be worth billions of dollars a year, although most child sex abuse images are traded for non-monetary gain. The main free-to-view sites have been traced to the Commonwealth of Independent States, the USA, Spain, Thailand, Japan and the Republic of Korea. More than half of the child sex abuse images which are sold for profit are generated from the United States and nearly a quarter from Russia. These countries are also the main hosts of commercial child pornography websites, followed by Spain and Sweden.
Millions of child sex abuse images circulate online, and through mobile phones and peer networks. Interpol�s shared child pornography database contains images of between 10,000 and 20,000 individual child victims, of whom fewer than 350 have ever been located.
http://www.ip97.com/report_blames_weak_laws_for_online_child_bfje.aspx
Carr said Japan and South Korea also had significant child porn industries and rapid technological growth across much of the developing world would possibly see a major increase in the exploitation of children if steps were not taken to prosecute offending sites and users.
He cited the closure of a US-based website in 2001 which had some quarter of a million subscribers from 59 countries.

Why did you conveniently stay out of the thread about underage models in Japan? You almost wrote a freaking thesis on child pornography and its worldwide distribution..ofcourse with an anti-Korean bent, yet where the heck were you in that thread? You would think someone so informed and knowledgeable on the subject would have something to contribute ....
oh wait, that would mean criticizing Japan.
Remember, the internet is one medium only. Have you been to Japan? You do know that child sexual exploitation is not only virtual, do you not? From soft porn publications to grotesque and perverse animation to vending machines with used panties worn by teens, that is not something you would see in Korea.
P.S. what did it take to become Ilsanman's underling? Was there a test?

(1) How did you make me foolish? If it makes you happy, keep thinking that way ace.
Anyway, you have proved nothing and this has been debated on these forums many times. (2) Simply put, please show me a Korean map that has Dokdo clearly labled that was printed before 1905. Japan incorporated the rocks in 1905. If Korea can't prove they even knew about the rocks before 1905 they have no case whatsoever. After you do this then we can have a serious discussion. Until then Urbangit, go back to romper room. |
1. Your claim was that Japan was above such things and they were not petty. I simply pointed out that were such a claim correct, then Japan would simply shrug its shoulders (so as to speak) and let Korea have the rocks. Anyway possession is 9/10ths of the laws and those islands are possessed by Korea. If Japan was not so petty it would accept this fact.
And let's not even get into the sex slave debate and historical textbook revisions. Now THAT'S petty.
And no I didn't make you look foolish, you did a good job of that already.
2. Can you show me a map before 1905 that said they were JAPAN's terrorities? Anyway that is rather silly thinking. Japan incorporated/ annexed/conquered a number of countries and terrorities before and during WWII. By your logic it should still control those as well. |

You do know that the sea is on the west side of Japan and therefore cannot be called the east sea of it.
Personally I think calling it the east sea is a bit ambiguous. What is it the east sea of? Doesn't Korea already have "Korea bay"?
An interesting fact, Japan has a longer coastline than Australia! |

I can agree with the informative part because as a fact it has lots of info basically. But what about their political agenda? The policies they have when they choose their topics from tons of candidates? I'm not saying the site is a piece of garbage or something like that. However, if anyone has eyes, they will know. Don't say it's basically not partial. Do they ever really criticize Japan for anything? I don't kid myself.

The depth that some of the trolls go down to can be unbelievable, even posing as Korean, too. I have personally called on such impersonating trolls on several occasions. So obvious.
The Japanese right-winged party even used a former Korean bar girl to pseudo-academically speak against Korea to have more 'authenticity' effect. What a spokesperson. Ever heard of 오선화? There are many interesting facts behind the curtain, eh.
