Human trafficking – particularly sex trafficking – has been a long-standing social justice issue in South Korea. While this issue is not at all unique nor more accentuated in Korea (for it is a global pandemic), the local responses to sex trafficking have been varied. During this lecture, two contrasting responses that combat the issue of human trafficking will be analyzed: one more activistic and on policy-engagement, and the other more incarnational and less engaging with policy-making/campaigning for its eradication. This talk will raise further issues of Diaspora Christianity and its influence on the way Korean Christianity is evolving.
