Research On The Crime Of Transnational Trafficking In Women Between China And Myanmar

Trafficking in human beings is a crime that gravely violates the rights of the individual and is one of today's global crimes.With the rapid development of globalization,the crime of human trafficking presents an increasingly serious trend.To this end,the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime has drafted a "Protocol to Prevent,Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons,Especially Women and Children,supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime",with a view to cracking down on such crimes.The people of the border between China and Myanmar have a long history of intermarriage.However,since the 1980 s,the phenomenon of intermarriage has changed.The characteristics of the intermarriage have been obvious.The matrimonial direction of the marriage and the unity of the gender are prominent,and the conditions of both sides of the marriage are generally low.Due to factors such as regional economic disparities and population movements,men in some of the poor rural areas of China's interior are facing the dilemma of losing their wives,while Burmese women in the border areas of China and Myanmar are eager to improve their lives in China.The more common crime derived from this is the transnational trafficking of women in China and Myanmar.Such crimes are mainly manifested as when Myanmar women sneak into China to seek employment opportunities or attempt to marry a“good family”.They are deceived,threatened,or unlawfully detained by criminals.They are then trafficked to a rural family and forced to become wives.This paper attempts to describe the status and status quo of such crimes through case statistics analysis,and explains the mechanism of such crimes by analyzing the push-pull factors in transnational trafficking in women in China and Myanmar,so as to further reveal the inherent contradictions and conflicts of such crimes.The aims of this paper is to help relevant departments better understand such crimes and more effectively formulate countermeasures for preventing and controlling such crimes.The first part of this article is an overview of China-Myanmar transnational trafficking of women's crimes,which mainly includes criminal statistics,case analysis and similar behaviors of such crimes.Among them,the crime statistics part is the trend of the total number of crimes involving trafficking in women in China and Myanmar.The case analysis part is an analysis of the crimes of the 35 cases selected by the author.In addition,this section also explained and elaborated on the legalconcept of trafficking in women's crimes and the difference between deception and marriage.The second part of this paper is an analysis of the criminal process of transnational trafficking of women crimes in China and Myanmar,which mainly includes the division of labor of criminals,the recruitment of victims,the delivery of victims and the analysis of the criminal process of selling and buying victims.Among them,the author classifies offenders into four categories: source sellers,intermediaries,final buyers,and assisted traffickers according to the different roles criminals play in the crime.The methods used by criminals to recruit victims mainly include deception,threats and illegal detention.The means of transportation for transnational trafficking of women in China and Myanmar mainly include car rental,long-distance buses and motorcycles,or trains for the victim's falsified identity.The route of transportation usually begins in the border area between Yunnan Province and Myanmar.Afterwards,it travels to Kunming,Yunnan Province for transit.After arriving at the destination capital city,it usually goes to the final destination.However,the “sale and purchase” process of transnational trafficking in women in China and Myanmar is often relatively simple.Generally,the buyer determines the “personal contact” relationship,contacts the perpetrators introduced in the middle,and then determines the “transaction target” and the transaction price by arranging for the parties to meet each other,or looking at the photos,etc.Once the negotiations are in place,it will control the victim's crimes.The victim was taken away by the person.The third part of this paper is an analysis of the push-pull force of transnational trafficking in women in China and Myanmar.The cross-border trafficking of women in China and Myanmar is mainly manifested in the fact that Myanmar has certain thrust factors that make some Burmese women willing to leave Burma to go to China to “discuss life”,while China has a certain pull factor that attracts this part of Burmese women.Among them,the thrust factors in Myanmar mainly include regional poverty,political turmoil and acquaintances.The pull factors in China mainly include higher labor remuneration,proximity to the geographical location and the need for suitable marriageable women.Under the interaction of these two factors,the overall trend of China-Myanmar trafficking in women 's crimes is that Myanmar women migrated to China's inland poor rural areas and were forced to marry as wives.The fourth part of this article is the author's prevention and control countermeasures against trafficking in women in China and Myanmar.The author believes that the preventive measures for transnational trafficking of women in China and Myanmar can be mainly taken to eliminate discrimination and "materialization" tendencies,strengthen media campaigns and strengthen crime prevention education.The governance measures of transnational trafficking of women in China and Myanmar can be taken to improve the vulnerable conditions of the victims,strengthen border management and household registration surveys,and reduce demand.
