Australia Major Centre for Human Traffiking and Sex Trade.

Human Traffiking on the Rise in Australia.

The trafficking of Asian women and children for sexual exploitation is one focus of a major research project under way at The University of New England.

“Such trafficking to Australia is on the increase,” said UNE’s Professor Amarjit Kaur (pictured here), who has been awarded an Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Grant of $224,000 for the five-year project.“The young women often believe they’re coming here as students or to work as waitresses, and end up in city brothels.”

“One of the main sources of such trafficking is Thailand,” she said,“and Chinese women are also strongly represented. Thai women are trafficked to Bahrain, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, Europe and North America, as well as to Australia, and the Thai Government has committed itself to making the fight against human trafficking a national priority.”

“According to one perspective,” she explained,“human trafficking is an offshoot – or ‘diversification’– of the traffic in illegal drugs.” She drew attention to global data published by the US Department of State indicating that, of the 600,000 to 800,000 men, women and children trafficked across international borders each year, 80 per cent are women and girls and up to 50 per cent are minors.

As a whole, Professor Kaur’s project (titled “Managing the Border: Migration, Security, and State Policy Responses to Global Governance in South-east Asia”) will examine international migration, security, and border-management strategies of Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.(Indonesia and The Philippines, as labour-exporting countries, are also included in the study.)“The project, which aims to inform public discussion and policy development, will contribute to the process of safeguarding Australia through improved understanding of our neighbours’ State policies,” Professor Kaur said.

One of her post-graduate students, Melinda Sutherland, works in Canberra for the section of AusAID concerned with human trafficking, and is investigating the situation in Thailand as part of her PhD project.“Melinda, through her PhD research, may actually be able to influence Australian policy in regard to this issue,” Professor Kaur said.

“I’m very happy in this particular project,” she continued.“It allows me to get deeply involved in the subject I’m most passionate about: human rights.”

Amarjit Kaur, Professor of Economic History at UNE, is an international authority on many aspects of Asian labour systems – including women workers, child labour, labour migration, and labour law. Elected to the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia in 2000, she was recently appointed Chair of the Academy’s Panel for Accounting, Economics, Economic History and Statistics. A workshop titled “Migration Challenges in the Asia Pacific”, to be held at UNE in November this year, will be the second UNE workshop she has organised with funding from the Academy.(Over the years, funding bodies including AusAID, the Fulbright Program, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Toyota and Japan Foundations, the International Institute of Social History, and the Wellcome Trust have supported her work.)

Professor Kaur is collaborating with colleagues in Canberra and Tokyo on another ARC-funded project that is developing a network of people involved in the study and administration of cross-border migration in the Asia Pacific

Another socialist moron spouting ridiculous rubbish to get funding. And I've told you before, if you don't like Australia just leave.

You tell him Andrew.

I'm surprised he even posted it, since it also mentions Asian countries, and isn't especially derisive to Australians.

Most of the trafficking of Asian women is done by their fellow Asians.

World: Asia-Pacific: Australia gets tough on sex slave traders
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific...

"Australia is to introduce tough penalties, including jail sentences of up to 25 years, to confront what it says is a growing trade in sex slaves.

The crackdown follows increasing evidence of young Asian women being brought to Australia and forced into sex slavery in Sydney's red light King's Cross district and other state capitals.

A recent report said that up to 300 young women from Thailand, the Philippines and Cambodia had been forced into prostitution in King's Cross after legitimate jobs they had been promised by racketeers failed to materialise.

It said many of the women were kept against their will in brothels and were forced to hand over their earnings. One woman gave evidence of having to pay back more than £17,000.

According to the Justice Department, many Asian prostitutes are women who simply want to begin a new life outside their homeland.

Serious penalties:

"People who've been brought to Australia from elsewhere using false immigration documents find when they get here they've got no real documents, they can't get help and they are required to work as prostitutes for very low wages," said Justice Minister Amanda Vanstone.

The authorities say they intend to impose prison terms of up to 25 years for anyone involved in actual sex slavery, 15 years for keeping sex slaves through force, threats or deception - unless the victim was under 18 years old. The maximum jail term would then be 19 years.

"These are very serious penalties and so they should be because in a modern country and a free country like Australia there is no place for slavery," added Ms Vanstone.

The proposed legislation which has not yet been passed in parliament will be reintroduced this year

A previous attempt to introduce sex slavery legislation with a maximum 20-year jail sentence was introduced to parliament last year but lapsed because of the October election."
