Treated as subordinate individuals and subject to abuse and exploitation, women are continually perpetuated as "objects of possession" instead of human beings through the rampant sex trade industry. In a report presented by the United Nations Population Fund, they addressed the continuing problem of sex trafficking, which is defined as, "the recruitment.. harboring or receipt of persons.. For the purpose of exploitation.

Exploitation shall include...prostitution..." (United Nations Convention Against Transactional Organized Crime). At present, sex trafficking is estimated to have 700,000 to 2 million women trafficked internationally. This number could grow up to 4 million women if the estimates shall include the number of trafficked women domestically. The reasons why women are forced to enter the sex trade industry are poverty and inequity. Domestically, women are forced to enter this kind of work because of "gender discrimination within the family and community," and tolerance of abuse to women.

Some women unknowingly enter the sex trade industry into thinking that they will receive good jobs, or they are sometimes lured their relatives or friends. Poor communities are often targeted because the traffickers knew that the people badly needed money. Sex traffickers provide a solution to their poverty problem by encouraging women to be prostitutes. Internationally, most women that are involved in the sex trade are illegal migrants in a country.
