在国内冲突期间发生的侵犯人权行为对妇女的健康和生命构成特别威胁。这可能包括吸毒、性暴力、更容易被贩运卖淫和感染艾滋病毒。缅甸掸邦的长期内战被认为是导致掸邦妇女和女孩被贩卖到东南亚性产业，以及随后在这些妇女中发现的高艾滋病毒感染率的一个原因。文章探讨了掸邦长期侵犯人权的情况，以及缅甸军政权最近强迫人口转移的影响。被贩运妇女特有的侵权行为可能进一步增加她们感染艾滋病毒和其他性传播疾病的可能性。讨论了政治解决缅甸危机的必要性，以及旨在防止贩运，赋予已经在性产业中的妇女权力，并减少这些妇女和女孩感染艾滋病毒和其他性病的风险的方法。(C)2001爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
The human rights abuses which occur during civil conflicts pose special threats to the health and lives of women. These can include rapt, sexual violence, increased vulnerability to trafficking into prostitution, and exposure to HIV infection. The long-standing civil conflict in the Shan States of Burma is investigated as a contributing cause to the trafficking of ethnic Shan women and girls into the Southeast Asian sex industry, and to the subsequent high rates of HIV infection found among these women. The context of chronic human rights abuses in the Shan states is explored, as well as the effects of recent forced population transfers on the part of the Burmese Military Regime. Rights abuses specific to trafficked women may further increase their vulnerability to HIV and other STD. The need for a political resolution to the crisis in Burma is discussed, as are approaches aimed at preventing trafficking, empowering women already in the sex industry, and reducing the risks of HIV and other STD among these women and girls.
