Summary
This book examines one of the most contested issues facing feminists, human rights activists, and governments around the globe - the international sex trade. For decades, the liberal left has been conflicted as to whether pro-prostitution activists or abolitionists hold the correct view, and debates are ongoing as to who holds the key to the solutions facing the women and girls involved.
Over the course of two years, Bindel conducted 250 interviews in almost 40 countries, cities, and states, traveling around Europe, Asia, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and East and South Africa. Visiting legal brothels all around the world, Bindel got to know pimps, pornographers, survivors of the sex trade, and the women being sold by men classed as "business entrepreneurs". Whilst meeting feminist abolitionists, pro-prostitution campaigners, police and government officials, and the men who drive the demand, Bindel uncovered the lies, mythology, and criminal activity that shroud this global trade and suggests here a way forward for the women seeking to abolish the oldest oppression.
Informed by the lived human experience of those interviewed, this book will be of great interest to feminists, students, criminal justice advocates, criminologists, and human rights activists.

Powerful and excellently researched
I would have preferred if the author had read her own work and it seemed so personal sometimes

Badly written
It could have been much better written to explain the issue but instead the author kept on telling stories about her and her action and jumping from one to another without clearly going into the point
She has a good point but badly presented
