Human Trafficking
U.S. rights report draws mixed views: Korea described as origin of human trafficking, ministry disagrees
The Filipina and Russian "bar-girls" mentioned in the report are ubiquitous here in South Korea, and the fact that young local women are often held in sexual servitude is well-known and in the open. Yet, the Justice Ministry disagrees with the "embarrassing" report. Cho Young-sook, secretary-general of the Korea Women's Associations United, however, said, "I think the report just pointed out the facts."

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
