to 2004 when theAct on the Prevention of Prostitution Crimes and Protection of Victims thereof and the Act on the Punishment of Procuring Prostitution and Accociated Acts was established and also to 2005, the MoJ implemented a number of encouraging initiatives. International conferences named Expert Group Meeting on Prosecution of International Trafficking in order to prevent inter-country human trafficking were held several times jointly organized by the MoJ and the MoGE to prevent prostitution within the Korean society and to promote and educate the public on the issue. Local governments also laid the foundation for anti-prostitution efforts by providing trainings for public officials and by establishing committees to prevent prostitution. There were many encouraging signs in the activities of the police in the fields: establishment/ operation of interview rooms for children/women to protect human rights of victims of prostitution; emergency hotline for prostitution victims; arrests of owners/ operators of prostitution establishments; and confiscation of profits from crime. "Jone School" systemfor the buyers of prostitution was established and operated at each probation offices. Such various efforts provided an important turning point in the deep-rooted male culture of purchasing sex, corporate practices of providing sex as entertainment which was previously ignored. The result is the general social conception that buying sex is illegal and crime. But the Korean government, especially the MoJ does not introduce enough protection system for female victims of prostitution and sex trafficking whocame from other countries. The MoJ attempted the following changes with the introduction of the Act on the Prevention of Sexual Trafficking. The MOJ strengthened immigration inspection at entry ports and visa issuance review, and executed ‘Guidelines on visas and certificate of visa issuance for foreign entertainers in the entertainment and service sectors’in June 2003 to suspend issuance of Korean visas to dancers. Such efforts put an end to legal entry of migrant women from former Soviet countries. Supervision on companies dispatching foreign entertainers was strengthened to prevent prostitution, sexual exploitation and to protect foreign migrants. Following initiatives were taken as well: - Prohibition of receiving or force submission of passport or foreigner registration certificate of a foreign national as a means to guarantee performance under employment agreement or debt (Article 33 of Immigration Control Act) International Standards on Human Trafficking: Implementation Strategy of Korea ❙ 39
