What are the reasons behind trafficking in women?

? ? The reasons behind trafficking in women are mainly the greed of traffickers and the drive of economic interests; "Marrying a wife" is influenced by the backward patriarchal concept in traditional culture. And buyers' indifference to legal concepts.

In recent years, although the phenomenon of trafficking in women still exists, the state's high-handed situation of cracking down on the crime of trafficking in human beings continues. According to media reports, the Ministry of Public Security has decided to launch a special campaign against the crime of abducting and selling women and children from 1 in March 2022 to 3 1 in February 2022, deploy public security organs throughout the country, thoroughly implement the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee on anti-trafficking work, organize and launch a special campaign against the crime of abducting and selling women and children, earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of women and children, and resolutely safeguard national political security and society.

Next, let's analyze the main reasons behind trafficking in women:

First, driven by economic interests. The greed for money and the drive of economic interests are the main reasons why traffickers kidnap women. It can be said that there is almost no success in abducting women. Some lawless elements are desperate to kidnap and sell women just because they are greedy for money and driven by economic interests. At the same time, there is a buyer's market with strong demand behind trafficking in women, which is also the main reason for the rampant illegal and criminal activities of trafficking in women.

The second is the "marrying" drive under the concept of son preference. Due to the long-term influence of China's concept of son preference, the concept of son preference is deeply rooted. According to statistics, at present, the ratio of male to female in China is about 1 16.9: 100, that is, there are 30-40 million more men than women. Because there are more men than women, some men may not get married; At the same time, in areas where the concept of son preference prevails, people are often bound by feudal ideas such as "carrying on the family line" and "unfilial having three sons, no offspring is the greatest". In addition, affected by poverty and other factors, some families often buy abducted women as their wives by hook or by crook, thus contributing to the illegal and criminal activities of traffickers in abducting women. For example, in recent years, in some remote and poor areas, there are still illegal and criminal acts of abducting and selling women.

? ? Third, driven by the indifference of legal concepts. Due to the lack of legal publicity on learning the law and popularizing the law, some traffickers still take risks to kidnap women, and the buyers don't know that buying trafficked women is also a criminal act, or they don't have a strong legal awareness, and they think that it is not a big mistake to spend money on their daughter-in-law, so they feel at ease. This legal ignorance has also contributed to the vicious expansion of the crime of abducting and selling children; At the same time, the punishment of the law to the buyer is obviously lower than that to the trafficker. For example, according to the Criminal Law, whoever buys abducted women and children shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance. I think the light punishment may also be the reason for the repeated prohibition of trafficking in women.

? ? Abstract: Trafficking in women directly violates the personal freedom of the trafficked person, involving the victim's family, resulting in family separation and breakdown. A family will also suffer from trafficking in women, and its mental pain is immeasurable. In my opinion, abducting and selling women is a serious illegal and criminal act, and the legal net is long and sparse, and traffickers will be severely punished by law.
