RODRIGUEZ GARCIA, Magaly. The League of Nations and its Treatment of the mui tsai System. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2014, vol.35, n.138, pp.73-108. ISSN 2448-7554.
In the second half of the 19th century, British activists became interested in the mui tsai system that operated in various places in Asia, a system based on the practice of selling or transferring Chinese girls to wealthy families that would employ them in domestic service. During the interwar period, the League of Nations followed the initiative of those activists in England, and conducted a study of the mui tsai system through its various organs and specialized committees. This article follows the trajectory of the anti-mui tsai campaign in the interior of the Geneva-based organization.
