The criminal underworld is a reality. I don't believe there's a HUGE market in slavery in the US and Europe. The statistics are mostly guesses. Also, the definition used for slavery can be used to descibe most pimped cheap prostitutes in general. A lot of prostitutes get into the business before realizing they can't get out. The sex business is like this in general. Even strippers can get caught up unwittingly. There is no other work that pays as much as stripping because of a lack of education, training, and work history. Yet, staying a stripper only makes the problem worse. If drugs become involved, it's almost hopeless as no other job they can get will pay enough to support the habit. As they get older, even stripping gets harder because the clients want young dancers. Some turn to prostitution to make up the difference. It's a nasty downward spiral. A career with no future. But I digress! [img]graemlins/offtopic.gif[/img]
P.S.
This isn't to say ALL dancers or prostitutes are this hopeless. Some who lack the means use it as a part-time stepping stone to pay for college. To this end, the sex industry can be ideally suited, even if generally immoral and distasteful.
