Sex Trafficking

Sex Trafficking

Read Paola Monzini’s (2005) book, Sex Traffic: Prostitution, Crime and Exploitation, which is
included in your course package. Using this book as the primary source for your analysis,
discuss the relationship between prostitution and sex trafficking. Your analysis should examine
causes, consequences, and prevalence rates as well as factors such as the impact of
globalization on the sex “industry,” the effects of poverty on women’s migration “choices,” and the
mechanics and evolution of the sex “industry.” Conclude with a discussion of the ways in which a
human right’s perspective might translate into positive action to eliminate the trafficking of girls
and women.
In addition to Monzini (2005), your minor research paper must include references to 5-7 other
resources that support your arguments. You will also incorporate additional required readings
from the course as well as additional resources, which may come from the “References and
Supplementary Readings” list at the end of each unit. If you choose to go beyond these items ensure that the references you select are drawn from reputable resources. Reputable resources
include articles from refereed academic journals (see AU’s online journal database or print-based
journals), published books or book chapters, and/or reputable online resources such as Statistics
Canada, United Nations, and/or World Health Organization websites.
You must use the APA style of documentation. See the link on the course site for information on
APA style guidelines.
