Klappentext

Abstract (WorldCat / ISBN)

The Girl from the Brothel. Child Slavery and the Global Sex Market in the 21st Century is an interdisciplinary analysis of modern child sexual exploitation as a global, demand-driven system. Drawing on international data, legal frameworks, institutional reports, and documented survivor testimonies, the book examines how forced prostitution, trafficking, and child marriage continue to affect millions of children worldwide despite universal legal prohibition.

The study demonstrates that child sexual exploitation is not confined to poverty-stricken or conflict-affected regions, but exists across all continents, including within highly developed democratic states. It analyzes structural drivers such as demand, legal loopholes, migration routes, border economies, digital platforms, and enforcement failure, and compares regional patterns in the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

Written in an academic, non-sensational style, the book integrates documentary narrative with policy and legal analysis. It is intended for researchers, policymakers, international organizations, and libraries concerned with human rights, child protection, international law, and contemporary forms of slavery.
