Format:Hardcover
This text throws a spotlight onto sex trafficking, a very important topic which certainly requires our attention. However, throughout the text, Malarek adopts the rather breathless tone of an American crime thriller novel, which gives the air of being a little too enamoured with the potential sensationalism of the field. He also has a disturbing tendency to cast the people involved in anti-trafficking work as "knights in white armour", for instance in his gratuitous focus on the intimidating physique of some male law enforcement officials. These stereotypes over-simplify the messy reality of the issues relating to human trafficking. For a better approach, try "Selling Olga" by Louisa Waugh.

This book conveys starkly the sheer scale and brutality of sex trafficking and quite how helpless its victims are. And it's happening in your country, no matter where you live.
I would have given it more stars if it finished with more resources in the final chapter. You will finish this book sickened and wanting to help, and it should end with a list of the courageous organisations that are trying to fight the corruption, bureaucracy and greed that fuel this horrible trade. Instead there is a rant and a few rhetorical questions.
Also he hasn't covered the huge scale of trafficking across Asia and Africa - yet the title of the book is "the new global sex trade". The focus seems to be mainly on (Eastern) Europe and the Middle East.
However - this book needed to be written. Well done to him!

I found the content of this book interesting and informative. not sure about some of the content but its an emotive subject and full with hearsay or information from someone who knows someone else. Abduction with Mailce also looked at the subject but followed one girl into this world. For those interested in finding out more you should look at this book
