Abstract:

In the “enlightened” period of the 21st century, there are still about 90 million people in the world who have experienced some form of human bondage, more than at any time in history. Of these, approximately five million participate in the category that relates to sexual exploitation including forced prostitution. This evil “industry” is growing rapidly. The $30-billion industry of ten years ago is now a $150-billion industry with mafia-type strength. It is crucial that we combat these negative elements by increasing awareness, strengthening law enforcement, enacting better laws, applying stricter penalties, improving intelligence, and exposing the customers.
