To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reports she has received of the trafficking of Kachin women across the China-Burma border. (118186)

We are aware of reports written by the Kachin Women’s Association Thailand and Christian Solidarity Worldwide on this issue. On 24 January, I met representatives from the Chin and Kachin ethnic groups to discuss human rights violations, including human trafficking. We take every opportunity to raise human rights issues with the regime and remind it of its obligations to adhere to international human rights law.
