Sex Slaves: The Trafficking of Women in Asia

Note: This is a mostly good book.  It has shelf wear but the pages are clean and bright and the spine is strong.  I read this book and it made me ashamed to be a man.  We have a lot of fun on the site but this is a serious book about a serious topic.

The Asian sex trade is often assumed to cater predominantly to foreigners. Sex Slaves turns that belief on its head to show that while western sex tourists have played a vital part in the growth of the industry, the primary customers of Asia’s indentured sex workers and of its child prostitutes are overwhelmingly Asian men. Here are the voices of some of the world’s most silent and abused women—women who have been forced into prostitution by the men they trust. This is their story, including the journey from home to captivity, the horrors of "seasoning" for prostitution, and the hidden life within the brothel.
