China’s population control program, called the “One Child Policy,” is enforced through coercive measures including forced abortion and forced sterilization.  

Since the majority of those aborted are female, the One Child Policy has created gender imbalance that is a powerful, driving force behind sexual slavery  

in Asia. 

Pro-Choice and Pro-Life Activists Agree:  

Forced Abortion

   Is Not a Choice.   

On April 22, 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned forced abortion and forced sterilization in China. During a Congressional Hearing before 

the House Foreign Affairs Committee, she stated that these practices are "absolutely unacceptable" and "an egregious interference with women's rights."

Watch her testimony below. 

        Women should not 

        be treated this way.

 This is not a political issue. 

          Women’s rights 

         are human rights.

In addition to sexual slavery, 

China’s One Child Policy also 

gives rise to a host of other 

human rights abuses, such as “gendercide,” female suicide, stolen, “illegal” and “forsaken” children, rioting and violence, ruined health because of botched forced abortions and involuntary sterilizations, an aging population, 

and oppression of the Tibetan and Uyghur peoples.
