DePaul updates study on sexual servitude
A progress report on a study on the global reach and severity of sexual servitude by women and children has been released by the DePaul University International Human Rights Law Institute.

Findings of the study include 800,000 women and children having been sold into Thailand's sex industry since 1990, and up to 50,000 brought into the United States from Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe and sold for $12,000 to $20,000 each in the sex trade.
The project is assisted by the Inter-American Commission on Women and the Inter-American Children's Institute of the Organization of American States. For details, call Bassiouni at (312) 362-8332.
