{"product_id":"sex-trafficking-inside-the-business-of-modern-slavery-9780231139601","title":"Sex Trafficking: Inside the Business of Modern Slavery","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery year  hundreds of thousands of women and children are abducted  deceived  seduced  or sold into forced prostitution  coerced to service hundreds if not thousands of men before being discarded. These trafficked sex slaves form the backbone of one of the worlds most profitable illicit enterprises and generate huge profits for their exploiters  for unlike narcotics  which must be grown  harvested  refined  and packaged  sex slaves require no such \"processing \" and can be repeatedly \"consumed.\"  Kara first encountered the horrors of slavery in a Bosnian refugee camp in 1995. Subsequently  in the first journey of its kind  he traveled across four continents to investigate these crimes and take stock of their devastating human toll. Kara made several trips to India  Nepal  Burma  Thailand  Laos  Vietnam  the United Kingdom  Italy  the Netherlands  Denmark  Albania  Moldova  Mexico  and the United States. He witnessed firsthand the sale of human beings into slavery  interviewed over four hundred slaves  and confronted some of those who trafficked and exploited them.  In this book  Kara provides a riveting account of his journey into this unconscionable industry  sharing the moving stories of its victims and revealing the shocking conditions of their exploitation. He draws on his background in finance  economics  and law to provide the first ever business analysis of contemporary slavery worldwide  focusing on its most profitable and barbaric form: sex trafficking. Kara describes the local factors and global economic forces that gave rise to this and other forms of modern slavery over the past two decades and quantifies  for the first time  the size  growth  and profitability of each industry. Finally  he identifies the sectors of the sex trafficking industry that would be hardest hit by specifically designed interventions and recommends the specific legal  tactical  and policy measures that would target these vulnerable sectors and help to abolish this form of slavery  once and for all.  The author will donate a portion of the proceeds of this book to the anti-slavery organization  Free the Slaves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279757008949,"sku":"ByrdShop_0231139608","price":27.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780231139601.jpg?v=1780608897","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sex-trafficking-inside-the-business-of-modern-slavery-9780231139601","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
