Abstract
ABSTRACT Trafficking in children is a serious violation of children's rights that concerns every country and society. Children are trafficked for various exploitive purposes. In international studies, China is considered as a country of origin and destination of cross-border trafficking in persons, but its particular characteristics of trafficking and sale of children, mainly domestically, for the purpose of illegal adoption has generally been overlooked. Based on data collected from judgements published in ‘China Judgements Online’, this article provides an in-depth analysis of the situation of child trafficking in Yunnan and Guangdong provinces of China. Descriptive analysis was conducted to explore and compare patterns and routes of trafficking in the two provinces, demographic features of victims, rescue results, as well as follow-up protection situation. The innovative findings of this work can enhance the knowledge on the situation of child trafficking in China and provide relevant stakeholders with information useful for policymaking, project development, as well as their evaluation.
