Abstract

Trafficking in women is a criminal act in law, but there are still great obstacles to combating this criminal activity. The video of the mother of eight children chained in Fengxian County once again highlights the rampant crime and the terrible situation of female victims trafficked to rural areas. This paper makes an attempt to analyse the origin of women trafficking through the theoretical lens of social solidarity by Emile Durkheim, and argues that the reason for its unquenchable existence is concerned with the interior mechanical solidarity in the villages. The shared values and norms establish the greenhouse for the incident and harmonize the attitude and behaviors of the villagers in the same villages. Therefore, the task of eradicating trafficking in women needs to be done in a moral and cultural aspect. This paper then proposes that the possible solution for it could also be found in culture and morality. This study will make an original contribution to providing a new angle of view into the research of trafficking in women.
