After "Operation Reunion", abducted women also attract attention

　　On January 27, a video of "a woman giving birth to eight children in Fengxian County" in Jiangsu was circulated on the Internet. The woman in the video was mentally ill, had eight children, and was locked in a hut with iron chains in winter wearing thin clothes.

For more than a month, this incident of violating the rights of women and people with mental disorders has attracted great attention from the society.

On February 23, the Jiangsu Provincial Investigation Team issued a notice on the incident of "a woman with eight children in Fengxian County" saying that the woman, formerly known as Xiao Huamei, was abducted from Yunnan to Jiangsu.

Relevant departments have severely punished relevant illegal and criminal acts in accordance with the law, and many responsible persons have been held accountable.

　　This extreme case has gradually fermented into a public opinion incident that the whole society is concerned about, and the public's voice for cracking down on the crime of abducting and trafficking in women and children is getting louder and louder.

　　In fact, the peak period of trafficking crimes in China was concentrated in the 1980s and 1990s.

In 2021, the national abduction cases of women and children will drop by 88.3% compared with 2013. Among them, there are less than 20 cases of theft and robbery of children that are highly concerned by the public.

However, affected by multiple factors, the current breeding ground for the crime of abduction and trafficking has not been completely eradicated, and there are still a number of backlogs that have not yet been detected. The situation of crime of abduction and trafficking is still not optimistic. A long way to go.

　　In January 2021, the Ministry of Public Security deployed public security organs across the country to carry out the "Reunion Action", relying on the "Anti-Abduction DNA System" to fully detect the backlog of child abduction and trafficking.

In the past year, with the help of "Operation Reunion", 10,932 missing and abducted children have been recovered. The missing and abducted children have been separated from their relatives for up to 74 years, including the movies "Dear" and "Lost Orphans". prototype.

　　After the "Reunion Action", the incident of "a woman with eight children in Feng County" also drew more attention to the abducted women.

In response to the voices of the people, the Ministry of Public Security decided to launch a special campaign against the crime of abducting and trafficking in women and children from March 1 to December 31.

The Ministry of Public Security requires that the special campaign against the crime of abducting and trafficking in women and children should be taken as the key task of this year; a group of clues should be collected in a concentrated manner, especially for women and children with unknown origins such as homeless begging, mentally handicapped, mentally ill, deaf-mute and disabled. , to ensure that the bottom line is clear and the situation is clear.

　　At present, the Ministry of Public Security has led the establishment of a special action leading group to combat the crime of trafficking in women and children, with the participation of the relevant business bureaus of the Ministry of Public Security, the National Immigration Administration, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the National Health Commission, and the All-China Women's Federation.

Abduction and trafficking of women and children sparks heated discussions

　　With the fermenting of the "Feng County gave birth to eight children" incident, the public's attention to the abducted women and children has become more and more high, and it has also triggered extensive discussions in the society on the sentencing standards for the crime of abducting women and children.

At this stage, China's criminal justice system is obviously less severe on buyers than sellers. The legal maximum sentence for buying abducted women is only 3 years. There are complex legal, social and historical backgrounds behind this.

　　At present, the National Two Sessions are about to be held, and many representatives have also offered suggestions on the sentencing standards for the crime of abducting and trafficking in women and children and how to break the chain of interests.

Peng Jing, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the chief lawyer of Chongqing Jingsheng Law Firm, suggested that the sentencing standards for the crime of buying and selling women and children should be raised.

Peng Jing believes that bribing promotes abduction and causes great harm to abducted families; it is suggested to raise the sentencing standard for the crime of bribing abducted women and children, so that buyers face higher crime costs and break the chain of interests of bribing abducted women and children.

　　Zhang Baoyan, a representative of the National People's Congress and founder of Baojiajiaxunzi, said, "The act of abducting women and children is actually a kidnapping operation, accompanied by various criminal acts such as abuse, illegal detention, and rape." Zhang Baoyan believes that the victim Violations occur in the buyer's house for a long time, so the sentence for the buyer should not be lower than the crime of abduction, or even heavier; the criminals of abduction (including the buyer) should be held accountable for life.

She also suggested that all localities should conduct a thorough investigation of women and children of unknown origin in their jurisdictions, especially for mentally ill and deaf women who have been taken in privately, and make the information public after investigation to help them find their relatives.

　　At present, the legal debate on the criminal responsibility of abducting and trafficking in women and children is still going on. While building consensus and contributing insights, some people also hope to deter criminals by raising the sentencing standards, so as to achieve "no fraud in the world".

　　In fact, the attention of the whole society is not limited to the incident of "Feng County gave birth to eight children". The greater expectation is that governments at all levels and departments can take this opportunity to crack down on the abduction of women and children with the courage of scraping bones to cure poison. .

As stated in the comments, only with determination to scrape the bones and cure the poison can the real pain of the problem of abduction and trafficking of women and children be eliminated from the root.
