{"title":"Patterns, evolution and determinants of child trafficking in Henan Province, China","authors":"Junjun Zhou, Gang Li, Jiaobei Wang, Tingting Xu, Zhuo Chen, Xing Gao, Annan Jin","doi":"10.1080/14733285.2023.2259322","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14733285.2023.2259322","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTChild trafficking is a serious social problem in China that has led to numerous family tragedies and drawn considerable attention. Here, we used a new database to investigate child trafficking in Henan Province in central China from a geographical perspective to help researchers better understand and explain trafficking activity. We discovered that trafficking cases involved more male than female children and that the trafficking rate was the highest for younger age groups. Child trafficking presented an interannual variation of ‘rise and fall’ between 1949 and 2018. An increasing trend in trafficking cases was observed after 1981, peaking in 1991, followed by a rapid decline in trafficking cases in subsequent years. Trafficking occurs more frequently during the summer than in the winter. The geographic hotspots of trafficking have continuously expanded over time from central to southwestern to southeastern Henan Province, thus revealing a triangular trafficking pattern of decentralization. The spatial pattern of child trafficking is strongly influenced by transportation. We expect these findings to provide a valuable reference for local governments in their efforts to prevent and combat child trafficking.KEYWORDS: Child traffickinginterannual variationspatial patternsHenan Province Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 http://www.gqb.gov.cn/node2/node3/node5/node9/node109/userobject7ai1382.html2 Until 2014, for example, only healthy childless singles or couples over 30 years old with the capability to raise and educate the adoptee were eligible to be adopters (Article 6 of the 1998 Adoption Law; Article 1098 of the Civic Code).Additional informationFundingThis study was supported by grants from National Natural Science Foundation of China (grant numbers 42271239, 41871144), Humanities and Social Science Projects of Chinese Ministry of Education (grant number 16YJAZH028).","PeriodicalId":496310,"journal":{"name":"Children's Geographies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136060995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper critically reflects on our experience of designing, approving and conducting a multi-country study utilising an online diary to investigate how social, physical and virtual conditions shape and are shaped by CYP’s everyday experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our reflections identify four key ethical and practical areas of concern induced by the physical immobility of researchers and the need to research at a distance: (1) the ethics of doing and not doing research in times of crisis and rupture; (2) the digital divide and accessibility of tools; (3) ethical issues induced by institutional safeguarding procedure (e.g. issues of trust and rapport) and how these intersect with digital technologies and online platforms; and (4) the ethical issues that arise from breaching the ‘social contract’ to give voice to those CYPs who have provided data. We conclude that ethical restrictions and academic standards intended to minimise the harm of using online tools during a crisis can instead have the effect of silencing children and young people’s voices. Accordingly, greater consideration and deliberation between researchers and ethics committees are required to find more reflexive ways to conduct research with CYP during crises.KEYWORDS: Online researchpandemicchildrenyoung peopleethicsdigital technology Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 We acknowledge that different departmental or institutional ethics boards have had different approaches to approving new application for research with children during the pandemic considering the pertinent ethical issues.

A growing research focus on child-friendly environments has evidenced a shift toward creating spaces and buildings that take children’s needs seriously and work with children as capable experts and active collaborators. Yet, limited attention has focused on how different scholars conceptualise and operationalise research on understanding and designing opportunities for play in the built environment. This paper reports on the findings of a scoping review of peer-reviewed empirical literature (51 publications) from 1994 to 2019. We examine the trends and trajectories in conceptualising and operationalising research on understanding and designing opportunities for play and map the landscape of scholarship through four analytical categories: (1) who is involved in play and research studies, (2) what is the thematic focus and in what ways is play investigated in reviewed studies, (3) how are opportunities for play explored methodologically, including how/when are children involved in research, and (4) where do play and research studies occur. Our findings reveal three key challenges for future work: (i) greater appreciation and engagement with children’s diversity; (ii) ensuring a nuanced understanding of play as a spectrum of opportunities and types; and (iii) exploring the democratic context of play between formal and informal play spaces to bolster children’s right to the city. We invite researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to work closely with children, engage with their diversity and explore interdisciplinary and interprofessional avenues to promote opportunities for play across the built environment.","PeriodicalId":496310,"journal":{"name":"Children's Geographies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135045919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using ‘auto-topography’ [Heddon (2007). “One Square Foot: Thousands of Routes.” PAJ 29 (2): 40–50. doi:10.1162/pajj.2007.29.2.40] as a drama-based methodological prompt, the research considers how the right to the city is summoned, imagined and articulated by youth in one virtual Grade 6 classroom amid the alienation and isolation of a COVID lockdown in Toronto in November 2020. Specifically, this article attends to how auto-topography brought the ‘real’ and ‘imagined’ city into the virtual classroom, via Deleuze and Guattari’s [(1985). “Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature: The Components of Expression.” New Literary History 16 (3): 591–628] concept of ‘the minor,’ to contest majoritarian constructions of ‘nature,’ ‘culture,’ and urban citizenship. In particular, such ‘minor’ desires for the city, made appreciable by the imaginative and affective capacities of theatre and performance genres, gesture towards a politics of co-flourishing, where enchantment, generosity, gratitude, strangeness, surprise and hilarity– and, crucially, obligation and reciprocity – are integral to youths’ right to the city in these times of pandemic and ecological instability.KEYWORDS: Youthdrama-based researchright to the citypandemicecologies Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Correction StatementThis article has been corrected with minor changes.

Drawing from interviews with youths of Colombian descent who onward migrated from Spain to London, this article shows that onward migrant youths’ identifications are shaped by their trajectories prior to onward migrating and their formative experiences in the previous country of residence. Following onward migration, young people find themselves in a new relational environment which may offer opportunities to claim identities they had limited access to in the previous country of residence and which are deployed strategically to gain belonging, to express longing for left-behind families and friends, and to highlight the challenges they face in the onward destination. Some youths may develop new identities drawing from diverse frames and scales of reference in the onward destination provided they feel accepted and can access opportunities. Ultimately, this article contributes to the understanding of onward migrant youths as a highly heterogeneous group while challenging conventional categories to classify migrant children and youths.","PeriodicalId":496310,"journal":{"name":"Children's Geographies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135693147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
