Brookings Institution has published an informative 11-page report on bride trafficking along the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Thomas Muller comments: "It is very worrying that religious sentiments are being used to fan flames in both politics and society in Pakistan. This always plays out at the cost of the weakest and most marginalized in society, in this case religious minorities. The Brookings report highlights cultural and religious differences between China and Pakistan and touches upon the concept of family honor in Pakistan. It then goes on to state: "˜Offsetting this was the fact that many of the victims belonged to the Christian community of Pakistan - less surrounded by society"s notions of honor, and less protected because they are marginalized. - That most of the victims belonged to the poor and marginalized Christian community of Pakistan sadly made it easier for Pakistan to divert attention away from the issue without an ensuing public outcry." Thus, due to a lack of interest in the plight of the Christian minority, the whole issue has been quietly ignored by most government officials."
