Limited Choices: Women and Global Sex Trafficking

June 9, 1999

In recent years, the international sex trade has been growing. Women are being trafficked around the world...and the backdrop of this, say many activists and scholars, is the global economy. Women's and human rights groups are now attempting to broaden the debate, addressing the full complexities of women's lives.

Featuring:

Kamala Kempadoo, co-editor, "Global Sex Workers: Rights, Resistance, and Redefinition"; audio from Ellen Bruno's video, "Sacrifice"; Ninotchka Rosca, Filipina writer, founder of the Gabriela Network; audio from "Bought and Sold," a video by Global Survival Network; Tatiana and Lina, sex-trafficking victims.
