True, many of the women are sold as prostitutes or concubines, and the children as labourers, but there are relatively few established and stable routes and markets. While the transatlantic slave trade was legal and carried on as a form of legitimate commerce, the modern slave trade is illegal. Records of these underground business transactions are largely hidden from public view; so are the human beings who are bought and sold in this twenty-first-century slave trafficking. The pervasiveness and the relatively invisible nature of this illegal trafficking make it difficult to define and develop a strategy for abolishing it.

Actions of Mexico:
As this work has previously stated there are several innate problems associated with ideology surrounding prostitution, as well as illegal immigration with regard to Mexico. There are vocal outcries to change the economic and social situation in Mexico, which would by default address the scale of the problem of sex trafficking across borders, but this is of coarse easier said than done. Until Mexico has a stable and livable economy actions on the part of government, no matter how well intended will not seriously alter the issue of sexual slavery, illegal immigration, sexual trade immigration or human trafficking in general. Even with new regulations and enforcement of laws resulting from terrorism, getting out of Mexico is still relatively easy and getting in is even easier, so the increase in human trafficking that is likely to occur as well as the relatively liberal laws regarding prostitution will likely create an even bigger problem, in Mexico than already exist and in the very near future.
Action in the Global Environment:
Undocumented immigration, again is illegal in most countries, with varying degrees of enforcement, but once again the issues of sexual slavery and undocumented immigration are not linked in any substantial way to create a situation of safe haven for victims of human trafficking in the sex industry and there are actually places, such as Cambodia and Hong Kong to name a few where the prostitution industry is so much a part of the national tourist economy that officials are reluctant to take a legal stand, even where laws exist to help sexual slaves.
West 305) Though international organizations such as the UN can and have taken vocal steps to speak out...
Though the global market in other things can be linked to human progress (or human deterioration in some cases) the globalization of human trafficking, and the sex trade makes the issue an indefinable and therefore difficult one to conquer in any meaningful way, and we thought eradicating legal slavery was a difficult social transition.

The most overt explanation of the author's research problem is when he states: "To argue, as some scholars have, that the first slaves suffered greatly from the enslavement process because it contradicted their 'heroic' warrior tradition, or that it was easier for them because Africans were docile in nature and submissive, is

Gender-Based ViolenceIntroductionThere are a variety of factors that can contribute to why some belligerents in armed conflict are more likely to commit gender-based violence than others. One key factor is the level of social and political power held by women within the society. When women have fewer rights and are less able to participate in public life, they are more likely to be targets of gender-based violence. Another key factor
