Traffickers target young females

BEIJING -Rural females aged between 10 and 24 seeking jobs in cities have become the main target group for trafficking in China, a joint research has found.

The research results were released on Wednesday by the All-China Women's Federation (ACWF) and the International Labor Organization (ILO).

"The increased economic integration and migration have created new opportunities for traffickers to flourish in China," Meng Xiaosi, vice-president of ACWF, said at a press conference on Wednesday.
