China’s ‘two sessions’ will see calls for action over human trafficking after chained woman scandal
“锁链女”丑闻引发了社会关注后，中国“两会”呼吁针对人口贩卖采取行动
As China’s “two sessions” begin, a growing number of delegates to the annual political meetings are calling for reforms to tackle the trafficking of women and children.
随着中国“两会”召开，越来越多参加该年度政治会议的代表呼吁进行改革，解决贩卖妇女和儿童问题。
Human trafficking – especially that of women and children – quickly became one of the nation’s most glaring domestic issues after a video of a mentally ill woman chained in a dirty shack in eastern China went viral in late January. The woman, a mother of eight who had been chained to the wall by her husband, turned out to be a trafficking victim.
1月下旬，一名患有精神疾病的妇女被锁在中国东部一间肮脏棚屋里的视频在网上疯传，人口贩卖——尤其是妇女和儿童贩卖——迅速成为中国国内最引人注目的问题之一。这名女子是8个孩子的母亲，被她的丈夫用铁链锁在墙边，后来发现她是人口贩卖的受害者。
A more recent viral video brought the human trafficking issue to the fore just ahead of the two sessions – the twin meetings of the top advisory body, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), and the National People’s Congress, the country’s legislature. In this one, a farmer in northwestern Shaanxi province had forced a homeless woman into marriage and confined her in an iron cage.
另一段更近期的视频正值两会前夕在网上疯传，它将人口贩卖问题推到了“两会”的聚光灯下。（“两会”是对最高政治协商机构中国人民政治协商会议和立法机构全国人民代表大会这两个会议的统称。）在这段视频中，陕西省西北部的一位农民强迫一名无家可归的妇女结婚，并将她关在铁笼里。
