This unprecedented study of sex trafficking, forced labor, organ
trafficking, and sex tourism across twenty-four nations highlights
the experiences of the victims, perpetrators, and anti-traffickers
involved in this brutal trade. Combining statistical data with
intimate accounts and interviews, journalist Stephanie Hepburn and
justice scholar Rita J. Simon create a dynamic volume sure to
educate and spur action. Hepburn and Simon recount the lives of
victims during and after their experience with trafficking, and
they follow the activities of traffickers before capture and their
outcomes after sentencing. Each chapter centers on the trafficking
practices and anti-trafficking measures of a single country:
Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, France, Germany,
India, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Niger, Poland,
Russia, South Africa, Syria, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates,
the United Kingdom, and the United States. Examining these nations'
laws, Hepburn and Simon reveal gaps in legislation and enforcement
and outline the cultural norms and biases, societal assumptions,
and conflicting policies that make trafficking scenarios so
pervasive and resilient. This study points out those most
vulnerable in each nation and the specific cultural, economic,
environmental, and geopolitical factors that contribute to each
nation's trafficking issues. Furthermore, the study also highlights
common phenomena that governments and international
anti-traffickers should consider in their fight against this
illicit trade.
