Barber, Mike. (2010, Feb. 9). Vancouver Olympics get an "F" for failing to curb sex

Trafficking: group. The Citizens Summit Against Sex Slavery is a coalition of women's groups, politicians and leading academics, and they claim that "dozens" of younger women were brought to Vancouver to act as hookers for tourists who have come to the Winter Olympic Games.

BBC News. (2010, Feb. 12). Police warning to sex traffickers. The story of Oranong Biscoe

Trafficking in Persons Study Commission. It asserts that a thousand kids in Ohio are forced into the sex trade annually.

Coalition Against Trafficking in Women. (1999). Factbook on Global Sexual Exploitation:

India. This is an article that claims there were (at that time) 1.3 million children in sex-trade centers in India, Thailand and the Philippines. These children come from very poor communities and are trafficked to communities where people have more money to pay for prostitution. The facts in the article are quite frightening. Besides the horrible facts of child sex slavery there are "hundreds, if not thousands, of Bangladeshi women and children…[being held] in foreign prisons, jails, shelters and detentions centers awaiting repatriation."

Davies, Nick. (2009, Oct. 20). Inquiry fails to find single trafficker who forced anybody into prostitution. The Human Trafficking Centre (UKHTC) in the United Kingdom is the one of the groups that investigates sex trafficking in England. After hundreds of raids though in a six-month campaign, not one person was arrested, the article contends.

This suggests that sex trafficking in the UK has been "exaggerated by politicians and the media." Retrieved Feb. 14, 2010, from the Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk.
