Sex Trafficking: Inside the Business of Modern Slavery

Siddharth Kara first encountered the horrors of sexual slavery in a Bosnian refugee camp in 1995. Since then, he has traveled to India, Nepal, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Albania, Moldova, Mexico, and the United States to learn the mechanics of this brutal business and to take stock of its devastating human toll. This book provides a rare business analysis of sex trafficking, focusing on the local drivers and global macroeconomic trends that gave rise to the industry after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Kara quantifies the size, growth, and profitability of sex trafficking and other forms of modern slavery-metrics that have not been published before-and locates the sectors that would be hardest hit by specifically designed interventions and penalties. Kara bolsters his analysis with a riveting account of this unconscionable industry, sharing the stories of victims and revealing the shocking conditions of their exploitation. He concludes with a plan for aggressive measures that would sharply increase the costs of exploiting sex slaves, thereby reducing their aggregate demand among slave owners and consumers.

Its one thing when an adult woman decides to sell her self, but forcing people to sleep with people is whole different thing. Pimps of slaves should be hanged slowly with piano wire.

hmm, ever wonder why this industry does so well? how about men keep their pants zipped and stop watching porn. start treating women (and children) as fellow mankind with respect and dignity - instead of like animals

I think that everyone better watch the movie 'Zeitgeist moving forward' here on youtube. It's a 2 hours and 40 minutes documentary movie that tells what's causing to human problems all over the planet, and it suggests a really good solution. Just type the name of the movie in the search bar and you'll get it.

I am definitely going to buy this book. I just read "Invisible Chains" which is from a Canadian perspective. And as a man I'd like to say that your average porn DOES contribute to this terrible problem; it perpetuates the idea that women exist solely for the pleasure of men and ignores the fact that women, as human beings, have real sexualities all on their own. To illustrate: in porn, rarely does the woman have a real orgasm, which she deserves.

No, men get uncontrollable when they get... Excited.

They need to watch more porn, and leave the girls alone.

@russianrose83 what is wrong with porn you dumb bitch, It is natural for men to watch stuff like that, just like its natural for women to bitch and be totally illogical.

i am super respectful to women and i watch porn. Also, most time women can't keep their clothing on around me, so maybe they should keep it zipped. fuck off and go get a degree or something you un educated tramp. you have probably fucked a million random guys and have several stds.

@leela194 no leela, YOU're the fucktard. You were sold a pack of lies that are intended to get you to subconsciously castigate all men. that way when legislation comes around in your country that is REALLY designed to subdue men, YOU wont feel bad about it. this is fucking bullshit designed to reach down your throat, grab you by the spine, and start shaking. you are the fucking idiot for hating before you think. THE JOHNS normally turn child pimps in! reality check - nobody stands for that shit.
