	SSRN-Sex Slavery in the United States and Its Law to Stop it Here and Abroad by Susan Tiefenbrun
		Sex trafficking is a contemporary form of slavery that violates women's fundamental human rights.
		The TVPA establishes a coordinated, transnational effort to protect trafficked persons, to criminalize the conduct of traffickers and to penalize sex trafficking as if it were a crime as serious as rape, punishable with a sentence of twenty years to life imprisonment.
		Thus, there has been a slow, small but positive impact of the TVPA both domestically and in foreign countries to reduce trafficking and to deter the crime of sex slavery, and the United States is playing an important role to eradicate slavery through legislative example, interagency cooperation, and multilateral efforts.

	Modern slavery - forcing millions of women into the sex trade t
		And once the women arrive in Britain, they are informed by the gangs responsible for their journey that they owe the gangs 'thousands of pounds for accommodation, fees to the brothel and advertising'.
		Kevin Bales, a lecturer in sociology at the University of Surrey, in Britain, sees this explosion of 'modern slavery' as a result of many factors, among which are 'corruption' in governments and the 'silence' that has encouraged it.
		In his book, Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy, Bales argues that the international community needs to perceive the difference between modern slavery and slavery as it was known before the Atlantic slave trade of 200 years ago.

	Debate on Sex Trafficking
		The anti-prostitution viewpoint, on the other hand, held primarily by CATW and its many international partners questions the wider socio-economic and cultural context within which such “choices” are being made and warns of systematic reinforcement of male dominance and oppression against women if gender disparities of rights and status are ignored.
		She believes that it is sex-workers themselves who need to author this new framework to remove the repressive legacy of trafficking and incorporate elements of labor rights and women’s rights in the sex industry, which should go beyond the theory of oppressed women and oppressive men.
		Despite the divergences in opinion regarding the best strategy to ensure the respect of trafficked person’s human rights, the World March of Women (http://www.marchofwomen.org) states that there is a consensus with respect to certain measures that states should implement in the short term to improve conditions for prostitutes and victims of trafficking.

		So of course sex is just fun, just recreation, just a harmless victimless bump and tickle, and of course the only ones who think it is more than that are dismissed as hypocritical prudes trying to impose (gasp!) RELIGIOUS rules on the enlightened.
		Slavery is a pre-Christian institution and it was only Christians who decided that as all are equal in the eyes of God, none should be held to bondage by another.
