Book excerpt: The US Trafficking in persons report (July 2001) included South Korea among 23 countries that, in the eyes of the US State Department, failed to meet minimum standards in attempting to stop trafficking in human beings. While the report mentioned the trafficking of South Korean women, it failed to notice that South Korea is itself a receiving country of trafficked women.This study represents IOM Seoul's continuing efforts to collect and publicize accurate information on trafficking in South Korea. The aim is to locate existing sources of information and identify those areas for which further research is needed.
