In Guangdong Dongguan of China, it is the man and woman for the prostitution act. That the control of the prostitution act is strengthened in China (Reuters)


I understood that the manners and customs industry of 7 main cities of the United States reached the scale of 1 billion dollars a year (103 billion yen) by the survey by American non profit organization (NPO). There was the city more than the scale of firearms and the drug trade that had been already recognized as a social issue with sales amount in the United States, and "prostitution business" highlighted the big actual situation that became industrial. On the other hand, it becomes the hotbeds of the prostitution, and it is said that Asian style "massage parlor" (sexual massage) that a Chinese and a Korean are often engaged in management organizes it at U.S. level.
An income is up to 3 million yen in one week
U.S. NPO "Urban institute" received trust of the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington D.C. and Georgia Atlanta, 8 main cities including Texas Dallas and carried it out. I interview sexual massage and simple brothel, barker and prostitute concerned with services by the lorette, police officers approximately 260 and flick out estimation level such as the amount of sales.
According to the investigation, the sales amount of the manners and customs industry of 7 cities including Washington D.C. in total is 2007 in 8 cities; 975,300,000 dollars (approximately 100 billion yen). The mediation supplier imposed a quota of 400-1000 dollars a day on a prostitute, and the income had it of around 5000-33,000 dollars in one week.
When look at the individual city, it is Atlanta that the amount of sales of 2007 was the best; 290 million dollars a year (approximately 29 billion yen). I exceeded the market of firearms (146 million dollars) and the drug (117 million dollars). In addition, as for the income of the prostitution supplier, this was the top of each city for 32,833 dollars (approximately 3,380,000 yen) per one week, too

The main business condition in Atlanta is the brothel of the Latino and Asian style sexual massage. It is made all mediation (mediation) through the Internet for the customer, and it is likely that the particularly sexual massage networks it at a national level.
On the other hand, it is Washington Seattle to have increased rapidly by a comparison of 2003 and 2007. I doubled with 112 million dollars from 50,300,000 dollars. It was said that sexual massage was organized by the business condition distinction skillfully by a Korean and a Chinese manager and increased sales with the prostitute who entered illegally.
The prostitute goes around it
The indication that it is a Korean and a Chinese to take management of the sexual massage is not only Seattle.
According to the business insider (electronic edition) of the U.S. news site, the hispanic brothel and the Asian style sexual massage were business conditions in all cities. As for the sexual massage, there is a shop of 5,000 in total in the various places in United States, and prostitutes go around each city. It is said that the reason why a prostitute goes around it is that I saw the interest of the customer by replacing the members of the shop at any time.
Each store is organized, and a Chinese and the Korean who were familiar with business run it. I pretend that I recommend different work at any time from Thailand or the Philippines and, about the prostitute, supplement it, and it is said that I force sexual work massaging on the United States after arrival.
In that way the profit that I got is invested in local real estate, and the asset concealment is carried out frequently, but the Seattle Times (electronic edition) points out that most of the profit are remitted to Korea and China, Vietnam. It is said that the brothel where 40, an Asian woman in her 50s live in is in Seattle.

Leading figure Korea of "the sex industry"
Park Geun Hye

Over the issue of charity dame, it is Korea which "anti-Japan", develops an act, a remark in the world by Park Geun HyeThe President.I install a charity dame image in California Glendale in the United States and push forward the movement that is going to scatter wrong history recognition.
However, on the other hand, it is a really funny phenomenon that a Korean acts secretly as a leading figure of the manners and customs industry of the United States.
The country which becomes a sex industrial leading figure while I appeal for "sexual damage" … . This is reality without the flap again, too

The Basic View of Japan on the Sovereignty over the Senkaku Islands

History[edit]

Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency enforced registration of Comfort women for UN forces under the Society Bureau's operation of "Management industry of venereal Comfort women for UN forces". This registration was to permit domestic partnerships between foreigners and Comfort women, without actually being legally-recognized marriages.-Dong-a Ilbo September 14, 1961.

North Korean nurses captured by South Korean and US soldiers. Captured North Korean women were sometimes raped and forced to work as sex slaves.^[

The term "Western princess" has been commonly used in the press, such as Dong-a Ilbo for decades. On the other hand, it is also used as an insulting epithet.The official name for Western princess (Yanggongju) was Wianbu (위안부, 慰安婦), i.e. "comfort woman".  The term Wianbu had been used by South Korean media to refer to prostitutes for the U.S. military until the early 1990s and also used to refer to the so-called comfort women.^[ In South Korea, most women who used to live around U.S. Army camps were prostitutes. In the Allied-occupied Korea, between the 1950s and 1980s, the total number of women amounted to over one million.^[Some women chose to become prostitutes.^[Other women were coerced into prostitution.^[ Prostitutes for U.S. soldiers were esteemed to be at the bottom of the social hierarchy by South Koreans,^[ they were also lowest status within the hierarchy of prostitution.

Military Government rule[edit]

Park Chunghee (left) here shaking hands with General Guy S. Meloy after the May 16 coup, enforced the Base Community Clean-Up Campaign.^[34][35]

Park Chung-hee, who ruled South Korea during the 1960s and 1970s, and the father of incumbent president Park Geun-hye, encouraged the sex trade in order to generate revenue, particularly from the U.S. military.^[36] Park seized power in the May 16 coup, and immediately enforced two core laws.^[The first was the Prostitution Prevention Law, which excluded "camp towns" from the governmental crackdown on prostitution, and the Second was the Tourism Promotion Law, which designated camp towns as Special Tourism Districts.^[37]

During the 1960s, camp town prostitution and related businesses generated nearly 25 percent of the South Korean GNP.^[In 1962, 20,000 comfort women were registered, and the charge to the American soldiers was two dollars for a short time and five dollars for a long time.^[1] The prostitutes attended classes sponsored by their government in English and etiquette to help them sell more effectively.^[39] They were praised as Dollar-earning Patriots or True Patriots by the South Korean government^] In the 1970s one junior high school teacher told his students that "The prostitutes who sell their bodies to the U.S. military are true patriots. Their dollars earned greatly contributes to our national economy. Don't talk behind their back that they are Western princesses or U.N. Madams."^[10]

In 1971, the number of American soldiers was reduced by 18,000, due to the Nixon Doctrine.^[ On account of this, South Koreans were more afraid of the North Korean threat and its economic impact.^[42] Even so, camp town prostitution had already become an important component of South Korean livelihood.^[42] The advocacy group My Sister's Place wrote in 1991 that the American soldiers contributed 1 billion dollars to the South Korean economy which was 1% of the South Korean GNP.^[43]

Despite this, there were issues of venereal disease and racial conflict. U.S. military personnel advised the South Korean government that the camp towns were breeding grounds for sexually transmitted diseases, and places of racial discrimination.^[44] The venereal disease ratio per 1,000 American soldiers rapidly increased, from 389 (in 1970), 553 (in 1971), and 692 (in 1972).^[41] Camp town clubs were separated for blacks and whites, and women were classified in accordance with the soldiers' race.^[34] The residents near Camp Humphreys discriminated between African Americans and White Americans.^[34] African American soldiers vented their anger against camp town residents.^[34] On July 9, 1971, 50 African American soldiers provoked a riot against racial discrimination, and destroyed some clubs near Camp Humphreys.^[34] In turn, residents hunted down African American soldiers with sickles.^[34] American Military Police and South Korean Police quelled the rioters.^[34] In August 1971, the Secretary of Home Affairs Ministry(ko), in cooperation with health authorities, gave orders to each police station to take precautions against sexually transmitted diseases, and instructing prostitutes about STDs.^[40] On December 22, 1971, South Korean President Park Chunghee enforced the Base Community Clean-Up Campaign.^[34] The government educated women not to discriminate racially, and banned clubs that posted segregationist signboards.^[34] The American military police and South Korean officials regularly raided prostitutes who were thought to be spreading disease, and would detain those thought to be ill, locking them up under guard in so-called monkey houses which had barred windows,^[39] and the women were forced to take medications that were reported to make them vomit.^[39] Women were certified to be without disease wore tags.^[21] In the 1970s, U.S. military officials and South Korean bureaucrats discussed the matter of preventing epidemics, and government efforts to register prostitutes and requiring them to carry medical certification.^[33] The U.S. military issued and required the prostitutes who worked at clubs to carry Venereal Disease Cards, and also published a Venereal Disease guide to inform American soldiers patronizing bars.^[45] There are reports that some women were killed by soldiers or committed suicide.^[21] The South Korean Government educated prostitutes who worked at the U.S. military camp in regard of preventing venereal disease. The South Korean bureaucrats educated that prostitution is an act of patriotism.^[46] The bureacrats informed the prostitutes of their contribution to the development and security of South Korea when they serve the U.S. soldiers with a healthy and clean body along with cooperative attitudes. The former Chief Secretary of the Blue House who directed the Base Community Clean-up Campaign, educated the prostitutes to learn the spirit of prostitutes who served the U.S. military during 1945 in Japan.^[43] The former presidential secretary for audit and inspection, Hong Jong-chul, attempted to make policies for the prostitutes in base communities such as building apartments for them.^[46]

Post Military Government rule[edit]

Warning of Prostitution and Human trafficking by United States Forces Korea

Dongducheon, where many "juicy bars" and clubs are situated near military bases.

During the early 1990s, the prostitutes became a symbol of Korean Anti-American nationalism.^[47] In 1992, there were about 18,000 registered and 9,000 unregistered Korean women around the U.S. military bases.^[48] In 1992, Yun Geum-i, a prostitute in Dongducheon, was brutally killed by U.S. servicemen.^[49][50] Yun was found dead with a bottle stuffed into her vagina and an umbrella into her anus.^[51] In August 1993, the U.S. government compensated the victim's family with about 72,000 dollars.^[52] But the murder of a prostitute did not itself spark a national debate about the prerogatives of the U.S. forces, on the other hand the gang rape of a twelve-year-old Okinawan school girl in 1995 by U.S. Marines elicited much public outrage and brought wider attention to military-related violence against women.^[50]

Since the mid-1990s, Russian, Uzbek, Kazakh and Filipina women have worked as prostitutes in U.S. military camp towns in South Korea.^[22][23][53] Reportedly many of them have been forced into prostitution.^[22][23] Since the 2000s, the majority of prostitutes have been Filipinas or Russian women, and South Koreans have become less numerous.^[7][54] Since the mid-1990s, foreigners make up 80-85 percent of the women working at clubs near military bases.^[55] Between the mid-1990s and the early 2000s nearly 5,000 women from Russia and the Philippines have been smuggled into Korea and forced into sexual slavery.^[23] On the other hand, South Korean prostitutes are still represented in large numbers. According to the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, South Korean prostitutes numbered about 330,000 in 2002.^[56] As the number was rising, the Ministry estimates that about 500,000 women work in the national sex industry.^[36] The Korean Feminist Association estimates the actual number may exceed one million. According to the estimates up to one-fifth of women between the ages of 15 and 29 have worked in the sex industry.^[36] South Korean government also admits sex trade accounts for as much as 4 percent of the annual Gross Domestic Product.^[36] In August 1999, a Korean club owner in Tongduchon was accused of trafficking in women by bringing more than 1,000 Filipina and Russian women into Korea for U.S. military bases, but a South Korean judge overturned the warrant.^[57] In 2000, five foreign women locked in a brothel died in a fire in Gunsan.^[5] In early 2002, 12 women died in a similar fire, also locked in a Gunsan pub.^[5]

In 2002, Fox Television reported casing brothels where trafficked women were allegedly forced to prostitute themselves to American soldiers.^[57] U.S. soldiers testified that the club or bar owners buy the women at auctions, therefore the women must earn large sums of money to recover their passports and freedom.^[5] In May, U.S. lawmakers asked U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld for an investigation that "If U.S. soldiers are patrolling or frequenting these establishments, the military is in effect helping to line the pockets of human traffickers,".^[57] In June, the Pentagon pledged to investigate the trafficking allegations.^[57] In 2003, the Seoul District Court ruled that three night club owners near Camp Casey must compensate all Filipina women who had been forced into prostitution.^[58] The club owners had taken their passports and had kept the women locked up.^[59] One Filipina who was in captivity kept a diary about her confinement, beating, abortion and starvation.^[23] Before the trial began, the International Organization for Migration studied the trafficking of foreign women and reported the result to its headquarters in Geneva.^[23] The Philippine Embassy also joined the proceedings, making it the first embassy to take steps on behalf of its nationals.^[58] In the same year, the South Korean government completely discontinued issuing visas to former Soviet Union women, so prostitution businesses moved to bring in more Filipinas instead.^[22][55] Human traffickers also brought in former Soviet Union women through sham marriages.^[55] In 2005, Filipina and Russian women accounted for 90 percent of the prostitutes in U.S. military camp towns.^[37] In 2005, Hwang Sook-hyang, a club owner in Tongducheon was sentenced to a 10-month suspended sentence and 160 hours of community service on charges of illegal brothel-keeping.^[60] The following civil trial sentenced him to compensate 5,000 dollars to a Filipina who was forced to have sex with U.S. soldiers between February 8 and March 3, 2004.^[60] The Philipina was recruited by a South Korean company in the Philippines as a nightclub singer in 2004, then she and several Filipinas were locked inside Hwang's club and forced to have sex with U.S. soldiers.^[60] The former "juicy bar" employees testified that soldiers usually paid 150 dollars to bring women from the bar to a hotel room for sex, the women received 40 dollars.^[61] Most juicy bars have a quota system linked to drink purchases.^[61] Women who do not sell enough juice, are forced into prostitution by their managers.^[61]

In 2004, the Defense Department proposed anti-prostitution. A Camp Foster U.S. serviceman told a Stars and Stripes reporter that prostitution was illegal in the United States, however, in Korea, Thailand and Australia they were pretty open.^[62] By 2009, the Philippine Embassy in South Korea had established a “Watch List” of bars where Filipinas were forced into prostitution and were considering sharing it with the U.S. military in hopes that U.S. commanders would put such establishments near bases off-limits to their troops.^[63] As of 2009, some 3,000 to 4,000 women working as prostitutes came annually from Southeast Asian countries like the Philippines, accounting for 90 percent of the prostitutes.^[53] Despite prostitution being illegal in South Korea, camp towns were still practically exempted from crackdowns.^[53]

In 2010, the United States Department of State, reported the predicament of women who worked at bars near U.S. military bases as one of ongoing human trafficking concerns in South Korea.^[64] The Philippine government stopped approving contracts that promoters used to bring Filipinas to South Korea to work near U.S. military bases.^[65] In 2011, the Eighth Army founded Prevention of Sexual Assault Task Force, the task force assessed and reported the climate in South Korea regarding sexual assault among U.S. soldiers.^[66] The report also described sexual assault which arose between a low-ranking female soldier who recently arrived on the Korean peninsula and an older male officer.^[66] According to Brigadier General David Conboy, the task force was not being formed in response to a single incident, but as a broader effort to study the unit’s sexual assault prevention and response measures.^[66] However, the report has yet to be approved.^[66] In 2012, a United States Forces Korea public service announcement clarified “Right now, young women are being lured to Korea thinking they will become singers and dancers,” and “Instead, they will be sexually exploited in order to support their families.” The United States Forces Korea posted a video on YouTube, clarifying that “buying overpriced drinks in a juicy bar supports the human trafficking industry, a form of modern-day slavery.”^[64] However, some U.S. commanders continue to allow American soldiers to patronize the bars as long as they have not been caught directly engaging in prostitution or human trafficking.^[67] Most recently, in June 2013, General Jan-Marc Jouas placed all juicy bars outside Osan Air Base off-limits for Seventh Air Force personnel. This change in policy resulted in three weeks of large scale protests in the local area, however, General Jouas credits this change in policy as resulting in most Juicy bars in the area closing down.
