Victims Of Prostitution In North Korea's Social Classes

Most of North Korea’s social classes are ranked by families’ history and their revolutionary origin (Ember 1208). North Korea’s state assigns jobs to men and women depending on their ranks and abilities (1207). Men are encouraged to work in heavy industry meanwhile women in light industry (1209). Although canned food and electronic appliances are introduced to women, they are still supposed to do housework and bear children (1210). Marriage and sex trafficking are also current problems for the women (“North” Central). The North Korean government makes no effort to protect and identify the victims of the trafficking (“North” Central). Women are not supposed to wear trousers unless they are working in factories or in agriculture (Ember 1210).
