Every year, countless women and children are abducted, deceived, or sold into forced prostitution, serving numerous men before being discarded. These trafficked individuals are central to one of the world's most lucrative illicit businesses, generating immense profits for their exploiters. Unlike narcotics, which require extensive processing, sex slaves can be repeatedly "consumed." Kara first encountered the horrors of slavery in a Bosnian refugee camp in 1995. He then embarked on a groundbreaking journey across four continents to investigate these crimes and assess their devastating human impact. His travels took him to countries including India, Nepal, and the United States, where he witnessed the sale of human beings and interviewed over four hundred victims. In this account, Kara shares the harrowing stories of those affected and exposes the shocking conditions of their exploitation. Utilizing his background in finance, economics, and law, he presents a comprehensive business analysis of contemporary slavery, particularly focusing on sex trafficking. He explores the local and global factors that have contributed to the rise of modern slavery and quantifies the industry's size and profitability. Additionally, he identifies sectors most vulnerable to targeted interventions and recommends specific legal and policy measures to combat this form of slavery. A portion of the book's proceeds will support the anti-slavery organiza
