The sex industry and Internet industry: partners in the globalization of sexual exploitation (1999)

unapi

In the milieu of political and economic restructuring known as globalization, women and children are increasingly becoming commodities to be bought, sold and consumed by tourists, military personnel, organized crime rings, and men seeking sexual entertainment or non-threatening marriage partners.

By financial and technological interdependence, the sex industry and the Internet industry have become partners in the global sexual exploitation of women and children.
