Description
Sex Trafficking Inside the Business of Modern Slavery by Siddharth Kara explores one of the world's most profitable illicit enterprises. The global sex trafficking business is a complex and devastating industry, with millions of women and children being abducted, deceived, or sold into forced prostitution every year. This book provides a rare business analysis of sex trafficking, focusing on local drivers and global macroeconomic trends that gave rise to the industry after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Kara's research takes him across four continents, where he has met hundreds of slaves, witnessed the sale of human beings into slavery, and confronted some of the criminals who exploit them. He quantifies the size, growth, and profitability of sex trafficking and other forms of modern slavery, providing a unique insight into this hidden world.
