She Is: Let’s Talk International Sex Trade

International or cross border sex trade has been called a form of modern slavery because of the way victims are forced into sexual acts. Trafficking is a crime as well as a violation of human rights. Approximately 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders annually and, of these, 80% are women or girls and 50% are minors. The global sex trade is the fastest growing form of commerce, worth $32 billion annually.
