Document Summary
The trafficking of women and children for sexual exploitation is a high-profit, low-risk trade for those who organize it, but it is detrimental to the millions of women and children exploited in slavery-like conditions in the global sex industry. The problem of trafficking cuts across a range of development issues, from poverty to social inclusion, to justice and rule of law issues. This lesson will walk you through chapter 16 of your textbook. After defining human trafficking, the chapter focuses specifically on trafficking for sexual exploitation. Human trafficking is a process of people being recruited in their community and country of origin, and transported to the destination where they are being exploited for purposes of forced labour, prostitution, domestic servitude, and other forms of exploitation1. Trafficking is a term that has been used to describe a broad spectrum of criminal acts encompassing sexual and labour exploitation.
