and the former Soviet countries pose challenges for both the civil and public agencies. The victims of human trafficking that receive the least attention from the Korean society are: Korean women who are sent overseas; foreign women who flow into red-light districts near us military bases foreign women who entered in the country under entertainer’s visa but who later are put to prostitution in rural cities; and foreign women who enters the country through international marriage. They are still outside of the safety net provided by the society. As there hasn’t been any research on their status, I will focus on the cases of the women that I meet on the field. 2. Reality of victims of human trafficking for sexual exploitation 2.1 Migrant women in Korea The area where the largest number of migrant women flows into in a systematic and legal manneris the red-light districts near us military bases. Since mid 1990, about 3,000 to 4,000 women came to Korea under entertainment visa in in a year and the country of origin of the majority of the migrant women is the Philippines. It is presumed to be because there was prior existence of prostitution near us military basesin the Philippines as is the case in Korea and because there is little language barrier as they speak English. The Philippine government’s migrant labor policy and feminization of migration must have also contributed to the trend. From the early 2000, large number of migrant women came from former Soviet countries of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, and Far East Russia. (2,022 people in 2008, 2,095 in 2009, 447 in the first quarter of 2010 as a E-6 visa) According to the Enforcement Decree of the Immigration Control Act, sojourn status No. 24 refers to ‘Arts and Entertainment’ status and covers those seeking to make a profit with performances related to music, fine arts, literature,or others of the like and those that are seeking to make profit through performing arts such as entertainment, music, play, sports, advertisement, fashion model, and others of the like They are basically and systematically exposed to forced prostitution, commission on drinks(juice quator) and delayed payment of wages. They work more as entertainers for the US soldiers, their major client rather than working as singers. Excluding those who work in the Korean local sex industry, I believe the largest number of victims of sexual exploitation in the country is in the us military camp town.
