Trafficking of women and girls for purposes of sexual exploitation across the globe is widely acknowledged as a leading criminal activity. Women of poor countries of are particularly vulnerable to sex trafficking. This book identifies the patterns, causes and consequences of female sex trafficking in Nepal, Cambodia and the Philippines. Using empirical evidence this book illustrates the commonalities and the differences among the different countries and recommends that serious attention should be paid to location- specific dimensions of sex trafficking in designing anti- sex trafficking strategies.It is the contention of this book that patriarchy has the resilience to transform and re-entrench itself in society in many forms leading to the continued vulnerability of women and girls. Thus while the forces of current globalization have opened new spaces for increase in women's productive work and migration in Asia, they have also increased the vulnerability of women and girls of being coerced into criminal trade in trafficking for sexual exploitation. Women's vulnerability has always increased with violent conflicts and new UN peace keeping initiatives have added a new element in the trafficking discourse. It is also argued that '¬~place' creates distinct socio-economic, cultural and political elements, which in turn open different '¬~spaces' in female sex trafficking.
