A Perfect Storm: Bride Trafficking from Myanmar to China

以强迫婚姻和强迫生育为目的将缅甸妇女和女童贩运到中国是一个严重的社会问题，但研究不足。这是由于中国对强迫婚姻的妇女和女孩的需求很高，而缅甸对弱势妇女和女孩的需求很高。本文将对理解这一问题作出实证贡献。预计调查结果还将涉及有关现代奴隶制、人口贩运、强迫婚姻和贩运新娘等更广泛的概念性辩论。研究问题如下：1。从缅甸到中国的新娘贩卖有哪些不同的类型？从缅甸到中国的新娘贩卖是如何变化的？中国的罪犯——或“丈夫”——如何看待从缅甸向中国贩卖新娘的做法？主要研究是与缅甸的非政府组织伙伴合作在网上进行的。这包括专家访谈，受害者案例管理数据，以及中国男性讨论购买缅甸新娘的在线论坛。

The trafficking of women and girls from Myanmar to China for the purposes of forced marriage and forced childbearing is a serious and under-researched social problem. It occurs as a result of a high demand for women and girls for forced marriage in China, and a high supply of vulnerable women and girls in Myanmar.This thesis will make an empirical contribution to understanding of this problem. It is expected that findings will also speak to broader conceptual debates regarding modern slavery, human trafficking, forced marriage, and bride trafficking. The research questions are as follows:1. What are the different typologies of bride trafficking from Myanmar to China?2. How is bride trafficking from Myanmar to China changing?3. How do Chinese perpetrators - or "husbands" - perceive the practice of bride trafficking from Myanmar to China?Primary research is conducted online in collaboration with partner NGOs in Myanmar. This includes expert interviews, victim case management data, and online forums where Chinese men discuss purchasing a Burmese bride.
