Woman, Child for Sale: The New Slave Trade in the 21st Century
Description:
Every year, there are more than 4 million victims of human trafficking around the world, from forced prostitution and pornography, to sweatshop and migrant labor. Some estimates put the figure at 50,000 human slaves living in the United States, through fraud, coercion and outright kidnapping, prompting U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell to claim that the United States is determined to stop "this appalling assault on the dignity of men, women and children."
But Powell made those remarks back in 2002 and, if anything, human trafficking is on the rise around the world. Today's slave trade is estimated to generate more than $7 billion in annual revenues--all of it "exploitation of the most innocent and vulnerable," according to President George Bush, who has pledged millions of U.S. dollars to support organizations working to free these slaves.
Woman, Child--For Sale examines the horrors of these black market operations that kidnap and purchase women and children and move them across borders, erasing their identities and forcing them into a ruinous life of slavery. The book takes an in-depth look at:
* Personal Stories of Rescued Sex Slaves and Survivors
* The New Slave Traders: Who are they?
* The World's Worst Human Trafficking Offenders
* Fighting the New Slave Trade
Woman, Child--For Sale details the explosive and heartbreaking stories behind the nameless, statistical nightmare that is human slavery in the 21st century.
