After the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union five newly independent states emerged. No longer under Soviet rule, these countries began the arduous journey of becoming self-governing. During this process a desire for security overtook human rights and despite their suffering the women of Central Asia became invisible to the rest of the world. This study examines the current state of women's rights in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan through a comparative analysis of domestic violence and sex trafficking. It begs the question-why isn't the world more concerned?
