IRL: China Women

News Story: BBC East

It connects to what we are studying in class because its a more current update on the sex slavery, that picked up in the 1950s during the Great Famine. And showing a new side of things then the 1950s when these brothels began. But this document is a update showing that the brothels and sex trading ideas coming from poverty and reasons like that are still around.

It add values to a new cultural value that occurred in China. During the Great Famine, selling children and wives to eat seem acceptable. And this is still happening today occurring to this document, families are paying off debts etc. by selling children and essentially keeping the brothels and the sex trades alive. It also adds value to the fact this can happen anywhere not just China.

Limitations faced with this document are, the document talks about evidence found on a raid that was significant to the article but shows none of the evidence making the source questionable.
