boundary of human trafficking. The NHRCK received a complaint from a Filipino woman who got in the country with an entertainer visa in 2008 and who are exploited and forced into prostitution, and started investigation andreviewed possible improvements. Also at the same year, the Commission hosted the ‘Seoul International Conference on Protection and Promotion of Human Rights of Migrants in the Multicultural Society’to talk about human trafficking and women’s right and pledged cooperation between national human rights agencies and various parties responsible for compliance. With the initiation of Lawmaker Kim Chun-Jin, the National Assembly of Korea is in the process of deliberating draft legislations on punishment of human trafficking and on prevention of human trafficking incidents and protection of its victims. I believe today’s conference is especially meaningful under such circumstances. I hope it could present an opportunity to share various discourses on human trafficking in Koreaand in the global community and to find solution to prevent human trafficking and to help victims of human trafficking. Especially, I hope the conference can help promote international cooperation to protect and promote human rights of female victims of human trafficking. Once again, I want to thank all the participants for coming here. I wish happiness and wellbeing on all of you. Thank you.
