Sex trafficking

Here's another good one from Globalizacija on sex trafficking, war, and globalization. It is a very large problem.

War and militarism particularly influence sex trafficking in women. Their impact is mostly connected to specific war and post-war situations, but sex trafficking may also be the consequence of the very presence of military in the region, regardless of whether there is war going on or not. Thus, the impact of militarism on sex trafficking is not necessarily connected to war, although war may produce militarist cultural ideals about gender which increase the vulnerability of women to socio-economic factors that lead to sex trafficking. Moreover, examples from recent history show that the expansion of prostitution due to the extended presence of military forces has long-term consequences on the development of sex trafficking on both local and global levels.
