“…That trafficked women have been actively excluded by the nation‐state is a clear example of the role of state power, as well as the media, in the production and mediation of sexual stigma. As we have discussed in more detail elsewhere (Laurie et al ), it was clear from our study that governance continues to operate through the legitimation and (re)production of sexual stigma connected to fears about the nation’s health and security‐related concerns about border control linked to the open border with India (see also Shneiderman ).…”

This article is concerned with returning to sexual stigma in two key respects. First, it prompts a return to the conceptual understanding of sexual stigma and makes an important contribution to critiques of the individualized frameworks that have dominated much of the literature on stigma to date, through a critical analysis of sexual stigma as a collective process at different scales and locations. Second, using empirical data from a qualitative study of post‐trafficking experiences of women in Nepal as a case study to develop theoretical understandings of the production of stigma, it explores modalities of sexualized stigma encountered on return from trafficking situations. Within the trafficking literature there has been very little attention to what happens after trafficking. This article addresses this gap in focusing on lives post‐trafficking and, in addition, contributes to the limited research on trafficking in Nepal.

“…We comparatively analyzed the characteristics of population geographic change for the 15-year period from 2000 to 2015 in the border areas of China and its neighboring countries. However, the following exceptions should be noted: (1) Due to the smaller differences between the north and south latitudes for Nepal and Bhutan, their border areas with China were studied using buffers with a 50-km radius; (2) There are approximately 235.30 km 2 of no man's land inside China's borders and 300.08 km 2 of no man's land outside the borders. We did not consider population changes in those areas.…”

“…Given their special geographic locations and settlements of ethnic minorities, the border regions are becoming very sensitive areas for China in terms of maintaining foreign and ethnic relations. Domestic and international research on China's borders has mainly focused on social and economic development [1][2][3][4], resources and environmental problems [5][6][7][8][9][10], border management [11,12], trade and cooperation with neighboring countries [13][14][15][16][17][18][19], and security issues [20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

Regional Features and National Differences in Population Distribution in China’s Border Regions (2000–2015)

China is of great geostrategic significance not only in the Asia-Pacific region, but also in the wider world. The population distribution in China's border regions is of significance for the development of China and neighboring countries. Based on the LandScan Population Distribution Database, this study used GIS spatial analysis and statistics to investigate national trends in the population distribution of China's border regions. The study areas were the buffer zones within specified Euclidean distances from the land borders of China. The results showed that: (1) Although the population agglomeration index and population size inside China's border areas have increased, the population density inside China's border areas is still far below China's average population density; (2) Over the last 15 years, the population of China's northwestern border has been sparse, with small increases in the population agglomeration index and population size. China's northeastern and southwestern border regions have several average population density areas, but the northeastern regions have seen a substantial reduction in population size since 2000. Based on our analysis, we propose that the Chinese government introduce supporting policies for the development of border regions to maintain the population size. At the same time, considering the varied living suitability of the natural environment along the northeastern, northwestern, and southwestern borders, "moderate agglomeration" and "moderate evacuation" population development strategies should be implemented in specified areas. Tilt policy should also be implemented in areas of rapid population decline.
