Trafficking in Women and Children is one of the worst, and more brazen, abuses of human rights. It is a matter of shame that even after half a century since the adoption of the Declaration of Human Rights by the global community, trafficking continues to thrive. One of the most visible and widespread is the trafficking of women and children for commercial sexual exploitation. The issue of the sexual exploitation of women and children is not new, as it goes back into the history, cultures and traditions of many societies. What is new, is the unscrupulous and massive scale of the problem, exacerbated by globalization, modern technology and its links to a lucrative tourist and sex industry. Trafficking is increasing dramatically in the Asia region, but the phenomenon spans the globe. While the fact of its existence is known to most of us, the enormity of the problem, its underpinnings and its ramifications are often blurred.
