Generally speaking, women and children are likely to be trafficked from poorer inland areas to more affluent coastal areas or central provinces. Guangdong, Henan, Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Shaanxi and Fujian have been identified as the main “source provinces” from where women and children are trafficked, while Guangdong, Shanxi, Fujian, Henan, Sichuan, Guangxi and Jiangsu have been identified as key “destination provinces” to where they are trafficked.

China is both a source and destination country for trafficking. Women and children from poorer areas in China are trafficked to richer destinations such as Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan Province and Thailand; while women and children from Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam are trafficked into China, for forced marriage as well as for labour and sexual exploitation.
