Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau have also been noted as pro-prostitution and trafficking loci. Fake contracts, often for domestic service, facilitate trafficking in Hong Kong where a large number of East European women are also trafficked for prostitution purposes. There are an estimated 40,000 prostituted children in Taiwan, many of whom come from ethnic minority groups. Trafficked women, from Thailand and other countries, are often detained and deported. Military prostitution in Korea is massive with 18,000 registered and 9,000 unregistered prostitutes.
Sex tourism is also very much integrated in tourism activities.
In Indonesia, prostitution is officially condemned, but is sanctioned at the local levels where localisasi or localized bordello complexes are maintained and patronized by military and government officials. In South Asia, massive cross border trafficking has been noted from Bangladesh to Pakistan and India at the rate of 200-400 per month by some estimates. Fake marriages, sale by parents and recruitment for jobs and outright kidnapping and abduction have victimized young women and girls. Nepali women and girls have also been noted as being trafficked to India in the thousands and hundreds. AIDS afflicted women are often stigmatized and deported back to Nepal.
