In the last months both Chinese and international media have reported the discovery of a child trafficking ring in Hunan Province. It has been reported that up to 80 children were sold by traffickers to orphanages in Hunan Province. These children were then put up for adoption. An investigation by Chinese authorities has resulted in the prosecution and dismissal of leaders from the Civil Affairs Bureau in Hunan Province.
International China Concern whole-heartedly supports the investigation conducted by the Chinese authorities and supports the punishment of those involved in this reprehensible crime against helpless children.
The Heng Yang Welfare Centre has not been significantly affected by this incident. The leadership of ICC is confident that the incidents that have taken place in Heng Yang Country and other parts of Hunan Province will not affect the project that is being established at the Heng Yang City Social Welfare Institute. ICC fully expects to be able to provide the care, therapy, education and medical to 50 abandoned and orphaned babies children with disabilities.
