In Modern Bondage: Sex Trafficking In The Americas presents the result of The International Human Rights Law Institute's recent trailblazing study. Based upon individual country reports from Belize, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua & Panama, the book also includes a regional overview highlighting the interplay and interrelationships between trafficking within an individual country and the larger Central American region. It identifies both existing problems in current efforts to confront trafficking and highlights the most successful efforts or best practices adopted by some of the countries. The report also includes recommendations on how to address the problem of sex trafficking.
