Sex Slaves: The Trafficking of Women in Asia
Louise Brown

Trafficking in human beings for the sex industry has been practised for centuries. What is new is the scale of the trade, the ages of those involved and the organization applied to the marketing. This text looks behind the wholesomeness of "Asian values" and takes a controversial approach to the sex industry by viewing it as a product of Asian cultural values. There are interviews with sex workers, their families, clients and the staff of the charities that work with the women. Above all, the book aims to tell the stories, often in their own words, of the girls and women who are forced into the trade and to publicize the tragedy of the voiceless women of Asia.

This book is more of a reference book than anything with a load of details and one womans opinion of in her opinion a forced slave trade, which although it does exist forms a small part of the sex life in Thailand so I think it gives a totaly bias view. Not a book for bedtime reading but one to study from for an exam.

She's taken the easy route and jumped on the bandwagon of apparently only looking at SE Asia and saying it's only Asia that has a problem. What about the thousands in Africa, Europe, central and South America, India, Pakistan.
Romania has a huge market in sex slaves as does a lot of the former Soviet Union.
