Abstract
Sex trafficking and prostitution are both matters of concern in today’s world. Trafficking of human beings is a global phenomenon and has been a topic of increased discussion and attention. It is believed that the sex trade industry is considered to be the fastest growing criminal industry in the world, currently it is second to drug trafficking in terms of profits through an illegal industry. Several initiatives have been made to prevent trafficking, through significant legislative and other actions provided to aid victims and those vulnerable in the world. However, the lack of systematic research is a big issue. Asia is known as the global hub of trafficking in persons. There is definitely a scarcity of reliable data that would help tackle this problem. I analyze how culture, socio-economic structures and law & order systems in these countries influence the sex trade and also provide possible solutions that would reduce sex trafficking.
