Trafficking and the global sex industry

Literaturangaben

This collection of essays is the outcome of a conference on human trafficking held in Denver in 2003. The focus of this book is on international trafficking of women and children for forced labor and prostitution. A broad geographical and economical perspective is taken but the anthology also deals with the specificities of the socio-political background, poverty, opportunity structure, legal conditions, the role of the state, gender structure, and the organization of the trafficking business. The essays create a link from country to country, demonstrating the worldwide nature of the problem. I.
