estimated half-million women
are trafficked annually for
the purpose of sexual slavery.
The women are kidnapped â?? or
lured by traffickers who prey
on their dreams of employment
abroad â?? then they are
'exported' to Europe, the
Middle East, the United States
and elsewhere, where they are
sold to pimps, drugged,
terrorized, locked in brothels
and raped repeatedly. In
Eastern Europe, since the fall
of communism, sex trafficking
has become the fastest growing
form of organized crime, with
Moldova and Ukraine widely
seen as the centers of the
global trade in women and
girls. FRONTLINE presents a
unique hidden-camera look at
this world of sexual slavery,
talking with traffickers and
their victims, and exposing
the government indifference
that allows the abuses to
continue virtually unchecked.
'Sex Slaves' also follows the
remarkable journey of one man
determined to find his
trafficked wife by posing as a
trafficker himself to buy back
her freedom.
