Girls and women kidnapped for the sake of feeding the man-made world

In a busy market in Pang Zhengdong and Hu Aizhen, a pair of despairing Chinese parents is anxiously distributing flyers to search for their missing three-year-old daughter, Pang Xiuting;

It is a heart-rending scene but sadly, kidnappings of little girls are common in today's world, especially in China and India. There are almost 200 million girls and women are missing globally today.

A son's marriage is expensive...so parents have little girls kidnapped. Then they raise a girl together with their son. And when they've reached adulthood, they are married to one another, says Du Yin, who works for a relief organisation and has seen lots kids' kidnapping cases.

What makes the kidnapping not an uncommon issue in China and India?

A man-made demographic bubble of excess males in China and India is the ultimate reason. This is caused by their culture of preferring sons instead of daughter and China's one-child policy. These establish long-term impacts on crime, human trafficking and the inability of men to find brides.

American political scientist Valerie Hudson, at the Bush School of Government in Texas explains that the lack of marriageable age's women in a society poses a serious threat to global stability. The higher the surplus of men, the higher the violent crimes against women and this brings to the global instability.

To curb this international problem, the world has come to the solutions to save this global threat from continually invading our world's mass population.
