2004. 「워싱턴포스트 "한국 소녀 매춘부 50만명 활동"」.
2004.「ワシントンポスト」韓国の少女売春婦50万人の活動」」。

'한국에는 50만명의 18세 이하 소녀들이 매춘부로 일하고 있다.'
「韓国には50万人の18歳以下の少女が売春婦として働いている。」
미국의 유력 일간지인 '워싱턴포스트(Washington Post)'가 지난 23일 “한국을 포함해 아시아에서는 어린 소녀 수십만명이 매춘부로 일하고 있으며 이들 중 몇몇은 12세에 불과하다”고 보도해 충격을 주고 있다.米国の有力日刊紙である「ワシントン・ポスト（Washington Post）」が去る23日、「韓国を含めて、アジアでは、少女数十万人の売春婦として働いており、これらのいくつかは、12歳に過ぎない」と報道して衝撃を与えている。
이 신문은 동아시아의 인신매매와 소녀 매춘 실태를 고발하면서 유니세프(UNICEF·국제연합아동기금) 담당자의 말을 인용, “매년 수만명의 소녀들이 보수가 좋은 직업을 갖게 해주겠다는 약속에 속아 악덕업주에 팔린 뒤 결국 매춘부가 되고 있다”고 보도했다.この新聞は、東アジアの人身売買と少女売春の実態を告発しながらユニセフ（UNICEF・国際連合児童基金）の担当者の言葉を引用し、「毎年何万人もの少女たちが保守が良い仕事を持たせてくれるという約束に騙され悪徳事業主に売れた後、最終的に売春婦になっている」と報道した。
신문은 이어 “인도네시아 등 아시아국 소녀들이 가난 때문에 전 세계에 팔리고 있다”면서 “예를 들어 말레이시아에서 처녀성을 가진 소녀는 3000불에 팔린다”고 보도했다.新聞は引き続き「インドネシアなどのアジア諸国の少女たちが貧困のために、全世界で売られている」とし「たとえば、マレーシアで処女を持つ少女は、3000火に売られている」と報道した。
워싱턴포스트의 아시아 특파원 엘렌 나카시마(Ellen Nakashima)와 알란 서프레스(Alan Siprees)가 말레이시아 쿠칭발로 보도한 이 기사는, 인도네시아의 16세 소녀 Sri Hayati가 상인에 의해 팔려간 뒤 강간당하고 감금돼 매춘부로 일하다가 탈출, 집으로 돌아오는 과정을 르포형식으로 보도하면서 기사 말미에 아시아의 18세 이하 매춘부 분포도를 덧붙였다.ワシントンポストのアジア特派員エレン中島（Ellen Nakashima）とアランでプレス（Alan Siprees）がマレーシアクチン発で報道したこの記事は、インドネシアの16歳の少女Sri Hayatiが商人によって売られた後、レイプされ監禁され売春婦として働き脱出、家に帰ってくる過程をルポ形式で報道しながら記事末尾に、アジアの18歳未満の売春婦分布図を追加しました。
매춘부 분포도에 따르면 한국에는 가장 많은 50만명, 중국 20~50만명, 인도 30~40만명, 대만 10만명, 필리핀 10만명의 소녀 매춘부가 활동한다고 구체적인 숫자를 밝혔다.売春婦分布によると、韓国では、最も多くの50万人、中国20〜50万人、インド30〜40万人、台湾10万人、フィリピン10万人の少女売春婦が活動すると、具体的な数字を明らかにした。
또 태국에는 20~30만명, 인도네시아 7만명, 파키스탄 4만명, 스리랑카 1만5000~3만명, 방글라데시 1~3만명, 캄보디아 2만명 등이 있다고 덧붙였다.また、タイには20〜30万人、インドネシア7万人、パキスタン4万人、スリランカ1万5000〜3万人、バングラデシュ1〜3万人、カンボジア2万人などがいると付け加えた。
이 같은 내용은 지난 25일자 뉴질랜드의 유력지 '도미니언포스트(Dominion Post)' 국제면에도 비중 있게 보도되는 등 세계 유력지에 잇달아 실리고 있다.このような内容は、過去25日ニュージーランドの有力紙「ドミニオンポスト（Dominion Post）」国際面にも大きく報道されるなど、世界の有力紙に相次いで載っている。
통계청 자료에 따르면 국내 12~18세 소녀 인구는 2백10만명으로, 이 보도에 의하면 대략 4명중 1명이 매춘부로 일하고 있는 셈.統計庁の資料によると、国内12〜18歳の少女の人口は2百10万人で、この報道によると、約4人に1人の売春婦として働いているわけだ。
이에 대해 유니세프 한국위원회 공보담당 김재명씨는 “처음 듣는 말이다.これに対してユニセフ韓国委員会（広報担当）ギムジェミョン氏は「初めて聞く言葉だ。
본부를 통해 보도 경위에 대해 알아보겠다”면서 “가끔 세계 언론에서 유니세프 자료를 왜곡 사용하는 경우가 있는 데 이것도 비슷한 사례로 보인다”고 밝혔다.本部を介してプレス経緯について調べてみる」と「時々世界のメディアからユニセフ材料を歪曲使用する場合があるため、これも似たような事例で見られる」と明らかにした。
한편 지난 7월에는 하버드대 로렌스 서머스 총장이 한 강연에서 “1970년대 서울에는 100만명에 가까운 미성년자들이 창녀였다”고 발언해 파문을 일으키기도 했었다.一方、去る7月には、ハーバード大ローレンス・サマーズ総長が講演で「1970年代ソウルには100万人に近い未成年者が売春婦だった」と発言して波紋を起こすこともした。

2004. 「'소녀매춘부 50만명' 발원지는 김강자 전 과장」.

≪동아닷컴≫ 2004·9·1.
«東亜ドットコム»2004・9・1。
미국의 워싱턴포스트지(WP)가 "한국에 소녀 매춘부 50만명이 있다"고 보도한 것은(매춘부 분포도) 김강자 전 경찰청 여성청소년과장의 말에 근거했던 것으로 밝혀졌다.米国のワシントンポスト紙（WP）が "韓国に少女売春婦50万人がいる」と報道したのは、（売春婦分布図）ギムガンジャ前警察庁女性青少年課長の言葉に基づいていたことが明らかになった。
WP는 당초 국제연합아동기금(유니세프) 자료에 따라 그같은 보도를 했다고 밝혔으나 한국 유니세프측이 확인을 요구하자 국제아동기구인 '어린이매춘·포르노거래근절운동(
http://www.ecpat.net
)'(이하 엑팟)으로부터 자료를 얻었다고 말을 바꿨다.
WPは当初、国際連合児童基金（ユニセフ）の資料に基づいて、そのような報道をしたと明らかにした韓国ユニセフ側が確認を求めてみましょう国際期求人」の子供売春・ポルノ取引根絶運動（http://www.ecpat.net）
」（以下エクパト）から資料を得たと言葉を変えた。
엑팟의 홈페이지에는 한국의 '어린이매춘' 실태를 소개하면서 김강자씨의 말을 인용, 한국의 어린이 매춘부가 50만명에 달한다고 밝히고 있다 이 기구는 “한국의 첫 번째 여성 경찰서장(전 종암경철서장)인 김강자씨가 한국엔 120만명의 매춘부가 있고, 이 가운데 미성년자가 50만명에 이를 것으로 추산했다”고 소개했다.エクパトのホームページには、韓国の「子ども買春」の実態を紹介しながら、ギムガンジャさんの言葉を引用し、韓国の子供売春婦が50万人に達すると明らかにしているこの機構は、「韓国の最初の女性警察署長（前ジョンアムライトレール序章）であるギムガンジャ氏が韓国円120万人の売春婦があり、このうち未成年者が50万人に達すると推算した」と紹介した。
또 “김강자씨에 따르면 '미아리 텍사스'촌에는 1500명의 매춘부가 있고 이중 80%는 나이 어린 사람들이며, 공권력 투입에도 불구하고 여전히 매춘이 행해지고 있다”고 덧붙였다.また、「ギムガンジャ氏によると、「ミアリテキサス」村には1500人の売春婦があり、二重の80％は、若い人々であり、公権力投入にもかかわらず、依然として売春が行われている」と付け加えた。
이 같이 '엑팟'에 올라있는 김 전 과장의 발언을 워싱턴포스트가 확인 과정 없이 그대로 기사에 인용한 것.このように「エクパト」に載っている金前課長の発言をワシントンポストが確認過程なしでそのまま記事に引用したもの。
해당 기사(분포도)의 자료 수집을 담당했던 워싱턴포스트의 스미스 기자는 지난 31일 유니세프 한국위원회와의 전화통화에서 “유니세프에 한국의 소녀 매춘부에 관한 자료가 없어서 엑팟의 자료를 인용했다.その記事（分布図）のデータ収集を担当していたワシントンポストのスミス記者は、過去31日ユニセフ韓国委員会との電話通話で「ユニセフに韓国の少女売春婦に関する資料がなくてエクパトの資料を引用した。
이 사실을 정확히 밝히지 않고 유니세프의 자료인 것처럼 표기한 것은 실수”라고 밝혔다.この事実を正確に明らかにせず、ユニセフの資料であるかのように表記したのは間違い」と明らかにした。
그는 또 “왜 한국에 직접 확인하지 않았는가”라는 유니세프 관계자의 항의에, “한국의 고위직 여성 경찰이 한 말이라 의심 없이 사용하게 됐다”고 답한 것으로 알려졌다.彼はまた、「なぜ韓国に直接確認していなかったのか」というユニセフの関係者の抗議に、「韓国の高位職の女性警察が言った言葉だ疑いなく使用することになった」と答えたことが分かった。
이에 따라 유니세프 한국위원회는 “워싱턴포스트에 자료 출처를 유니세프로 밝힌 부분에 대한 수정을 요청한 상태”라고 밝혔다.これにより、ユニセフ韓国委員会は、「ワシントンポストに出典をユニセフに明らかにした部分の修正を要求された状態」と明らかにした。
김강자 전 과장은 31일 “이름은 기억나지 않지만 지난 2000년 외국 언론과의 인터뷰에서 '한국의 가출 청소년은 50만명이고 이 가운데 많은 여자아이들이 매춘에 종사하고 있다'고 매춘의 심각성을 말한 적이 있다”면서 “이 내용이 잘못 전해진 것으로 추측된다”고 말했다.ギムガンジャ前課長は31日、「名前は覚えていないが、2000年、外国メディアとのインタビューで、「韓国の家出青少年は50万人であり、このうち多くの女性の子供たちが売春に従事している」と売春の深刻さを言ったことがある"としながら"この内容が間違って伝わったと推測される」と述べた。
그는 “엑팟과 워싱턴포스트에 잘못된 부분을 수정해달라고 요청하겠다”면서 “그러나 당시 많은 언론과 인터뷰를 하면서, 일일이 기억할 수는 없지만, 어린이 매춘의 심각성을 알리기 위해 조금 더 심각하게 얘기했을 수도 있다”고 말했다.彼は「エクパトとワシントンポストに間違った部分を修正してくれと要請したい」とし「しかし、当時、多くのメディアとのインタビューをしながら、いちいち覚えてすることはできませんが、子供売春の深刻さを知らせるために少しより真剣に話したこともある」と述べた。
그러나 그는 지난 2000년 1월12일 중앙일보와의 인터뷰에서 “미성년 윤락녀가 50만 명도 넘을 것이라고 하는데 그들을 보호할 시설이 턱없이 부족하지 않느냐”는 기자의 질문에 “그게 이제부터 해결해야할 과제 중 하나다.しかし、彼は2000年1月12日、中央日報とのインタビューで、「未成年売春婦が50万人も超えるとするそれらを保護する施設が法外に不足していないか」という記者の質問に「それはこれから解決すべき課題の一つだ。
빨리 대책을 마련해야 된다”고 답변, 50만명이라는 숫자에 이의를 제기하지 않았다.早く対策を講じなければなる」と答え、50万人という数字に異議を提起しなかった。
그는 또 2000년 4월 숙명여대 개최 아시아 여성 강좌에서는 “전체 윤락여성 1백20만명중 30%인 36만명이 12∼14세의 미성년 윤락녀”라고 말한 것으로 전해졌다.彼はまた、2000年4月淑明女子大開催アジア女性講座では、「全売春女性120万人のうち30％である36万人が12〜14歳の未成年売春婦」と言ったと伝えられた。
하지만 미성년자 매춘부 숫자에 대한 그의 주장에 대해 WP의 이번 보도 이전엔 국내의 어떤 시민단체나 정부, 언론에서도 이의를 제기하지 않았다.しかし、未成年者の売春婦の数の彼の主張に対してWPの今回の報道以前には、国内のいくつかの市民団体や政府、マスコミでも異議を提起しなかった。
한편 여성부는 워싱턴포스트와 엑팟에 항의서한을 보내고 정정보도를 요청할 계획이라고 1일 밝혔다.一方、女性部は、ワシントンポストとエクパトに抗議書簡を送り、訂正報道を要請する計画だと明らかにした。
여성부는 항의서한에서 “한국형사정책연구원이 여성부의 의뢰를 받아 조사한 결과 지난 2002년 현재 성매매 종사 여성의 수는 약 33만명”이라며 “이중 청소년은 일부에 해당되므로 50만명이라는 숫자는 근거가 매우 희박하다”고 지적할 계획이다.女性部は抗議書簡で「韓国刑事政策研究院が女性部の依頼を受けて調査した結果、2002年現在、性売買従事女性の数は約33万人」とし「二重青少年は一部に該当するため、50万人という数字は根拠が非常に希薄である」と指摘する計画である。
