- Summary
- This paper focuses only on the sex trafficking of women and girls. It formulates a new approach to combating sex trafficking that serves as a complement to the victim-centered approach that has been widely adopted in law and policies in the United States and around the world. Many of the tools for a perpetrator-focused approach already exist or have been enacted by the U.S. Congress and the Bush administration from 2000 to 2008. The foundation exists for a successful, far-reaching global movement to advance the human rights and status of women and girls by ending their commercial sexual exploitation.
