You can find this book and many others, on my Human Trafficking Book List page on the sidebar. Thank you for bringing up the issues of trafficking in Columbia as, yes, it is a huge source country for the trafficking of women and girls, who are trafficked throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, Western Europe, East Asia, the Middle East, and North America for commercial sexual exploitation. Additionally there is some internal labor trafficking. Other forms of trafficking in the country include forced begging and domestic servitude, as well as force into the the illegal drug trade. The country also is a destination for sex tourism, however it is rather limited to the coastal areas. I will contact you by e-mail to assist you further on the issue, and how I can be of assistance. Best, Cassandra Dear Rich,

The author, who I saw interviewed is a journalist who was working there at the time and actually tried to save a few of these girls using local police and MPs, but only had these girls returned to the brothels by NATO commanders there to be used and abused by many of the soldiers sent there to protect them...do you know anything about this book?? We would do well finding it... I was also wondering if you had any information about abuses and sex trafficking in Colombia. Colombia is well known globally as one of the places in the world which supplies tonnes of the world's prostitution and is gaining a reputation such as Cuba and Thailand as a place where anyone can purchase any person they wish. This is a horrible development and I wish to address it fully on the Latin America and migration blogs...can you help guide me perhaps? Much thanks, Rich FPA Good Day Cassandra,
