Abstract
"Siddharth Kara visited Slovenia during college, where he witnessed immense poverty, insurmountable strife, and the predisposition to human trafficking. Though he continued on to receive his Masters in Business Administration from Harvard University, he could not forget the painful stories of Slovenian sexual crimes. He began a journey to understand the origins of sex trafficking and human slavery. This expedition led to sixteen different countries and hundreds of interviews with individuals and families involved in the industry. His goal was defined on this trip: to abolish sex trafficking and all other forms of contemporary slavery. Kara wrote this book as a call to action for individuals, governments, and organizations to realize the origins, tragedies, and potential solutions for the current crisis of human trafficking worldwide. As he dangerously enters brothels in the depths of the Nigerian mountains or the streets of India, he takes the reader along. This is not an easy trip, as the stories are filled with rape, abuse, and murder. The testimonies are graphic, detailed, and horrifying. Yet they serve as the greatest call to action. The reader cannot remain unaffected by the suffering that individuals and families endure at the hands of traffickers."(pg 1)
