Opis

Trafficking in women and children for the sex trade is a burgeoning industry. In some cases women knowingly enter the world of commercial sex, albeit as an act of economic desperation and propelled by concern for their family. In others, women seeking better conditions and remuneration overseas are deceived by attractive package deals and offers of well-paid jobs, only to be forced into prostitution on their arrival. The victims are women not only from developing countries, but also from eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, who are trafficked to western Europe, Israel, and the United States. The exploitation of children is even more pronounced and involves sex tourism., pornography and the circulation of pornographic images via the Internet and World Wide Web.
