Negative Impacts Of Sex Tourism

Sex trafficking is a global problem that involves the exploitation and abuse of girls as well as women. This paper will discuss the problem, with an emphasis on the views expressed by Paola Monzini in her book Sex Traffic: Prostitution, Crime and Exploitation. The paper will look at the causes, consequences and prevalence rates of sex trafficking and will consider the impact of such factors as globalization and women’s poverty in perpetuating the problem or making it worse. The paper will conclude with a discussion of the ways in which a human rights perspective might translate into positive action to eliminate the trafficking of girls and women.

The discussion of prostitution has been a hot topic debate for as long as the practice has been established. The ethical debate as to if it should or should not be legal has been going on just as long. People say that in our Christian heritage it is a life of both antisexual and antidomestic life that we live , and that the act of prostitution is “the art of sin” . This paper will look at some of the paternalistic views of prostitution and develop a public policy09o9asssqaq position based on prostitution using Lars Ericssons “Charges Against Prostitution: An Attempt at a Philosophical Assessment.”

Brennan explored the women's economic survival strategies in the face of extreme poverty, and for most, single motherhood. In What's Love Got to Do with It? Transnational Desires and Sex Tourism in the Dominican Republic the sex workers, and this sex tourism are more than a means of survival they are an advancement strategy that hinges on participants successful performance. This type of performance is a relationship of convenience and not love. However, what is new for sex workers is how they turned a commercialized sexual transaction into a marriage as transaction operation in a globalized world where legal crossing of national borders requires passports and visas.

Sex trafficking or servitude is the abuse of ladies or any individuals , inside national or crosswise over global borders, for the motivations behind constrained sex work. Business sexual abuse incorporates obscenity, prostitution and sex trafficking of ladies and young ladies, and is described by the misuse of an individual in return for cash. Based on “Inside the Lives of American Sex Slaves” Some sex trafficking is very distinctive, for example, road prostitution. Be that as it may, numerous trafficking sufferers stay inconspicuous, working out of massage stores in rural neighborhoods, along with street prostitutes, where 75% are selling themselves because they are working for a pimp.

For the purpose of this study, male prostitutes and sexual acts such pornography, stripping and erotic massage are excluded from the definition of prostitution. The terms ‘sex worker’ and ‘prostitute’ will be used interchangeably throughout the paper. The term ‘sex work’ was coined to circumvent the stigma that accompanies prostitution and to acknowledge that it generates income, like any other profession in our society.

We believe this chapter gave a better understanding on globalization and migration. In “Remotely Sensed”, we recognized that the women that volunteer to be trafficked for sex work are usually migrant women who have difficulties providing for their families and finding jobs where they are from. This causes them to resort to prostitution, because they see it as the only job that could earn them enough money to provide for themselves and their families. We often see influential people with power speak about helping women get out of prostitution. Yet those same people in power support the state which holds on to the structures which refuses to give women equal working opportunities. This causes us to wonder if they are really interested in putting an end to human sex traffic or will continue to let it occur as it creates and puts money in the

However, after watching Trade and Born into Brothels it is apparent that these issues occur still.Geographical locations play an important role in understanding why sex trafficking occurs in these regions of the world because it opens up multiple questions about the treatment of women and how well these individuals are educated on protecting themselves during sexual

Sex trafficking around the world is a very complex and dangerous industry and there are a myriad of things being done to combat it. Sex trafficking is a dangerous industry in which people are scammed and forced into. In the article “Facts on Human Trafficking and Sex Slavery/ Soroptimist,”

Legalizing prostitution would likely decrease AIDS, HIV, and other sexually transmitted diseases. Certain conditions would be encouraged to make the profession more comfortable and safer for most prostitutes. “‘The commission of global leaders and specialists, backed by the United Nations Development Program and Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS, spent 18 months discussing sex work, drug use and laws criminalizing HIV status. Its report concluded that laws against prostitution should be repealed because they fail to protect women and instead drive at-risk people away from health care services. ‘Rather than punishing consenting adults involved in sex work, countries must ensure safe working conditions, and offer sex workers and their clients access to effective HIV and health services and commodities,’ said the commission’s report. It added that laws against all forms of child abuse and human sex trafficking still should be enforced (Wetzstein)”. Countries, or states will assist in the safety of prostitutes and sex

“Sex tourism, a sub-sector of Cuba's prosperous tourist economy, is a significant industry and a major employer for many Cuban women and girls. This is obvious by the number of women seen in the streets, bars and

The evidence is clear; prostitution has the visible capacity to be a thriving and legitimate industry under a legal atmosphere. When provided with a legal status, such as in Amsterdam, or Tijuana, the ability to control the sex trade is much more apparent. Legitimate prostitutes are more easily recognizable in their designated zones, or districts and this allows for a faster apprehension of illegal forms of the trade.

I can say, that I learn many new things that refer the different types of problems that women and children’s are the most vulnerable to sex trafficking. The major factor that I see on this issue about sex trafficking is that they target the poor people, people that live in rural areas, and with no education. These can be some facts in how these organization abuses from women’s and children, referring to Thailand as a one of the poorest country it suffer of sexual exploitation. Referring to “Prostitution and Sex Trafficking Pg. 113”. I can say that prostitution lead to many problems that these women’s have for example, it can be from psychological and physical. We can understand how in the film “The underground World of Commercial Sex” it explains

The modern world today is proud to recognize the equality that has been acknowledged between age, gender, and race. Women are beginning to be treated as equals with men, in new customs, lifestyle, society, and economy. Today, women are freer and are liberated from their traditional roles as housewives, and are pursuing their hopes and dreams. However, this is not the case in many regions of the world. In the developing countries, thousands of females are dehumanized by prostitution and the trafficking of women and children is dehumanizing which serves only to benefit men. It exploits and violates the rights of women in the developing world. Sexual exploitation, which includes sex tourism,

With child prostitution comes child pornography. Child pornography is the exploitation of children for sexual stimulation. It may produce with consent or non-consent. However, some people travel across the world to engage in “child sex tourism”. “Child sex tourism” is tourism for the purpose of child prostitution. “Child sex tourism” is most severe in South America and Asia, but is still a global problem.

Slum tourism is becoming an emerging trend now, especially in developing countries. In fact, it has become one of the fastest growing market in the tourism industry. One of the reasons for that is due to the expansion of slum in developing countries. Frenzel et al., (2015) argue that as the number of locations has increased in the past 20 years, so has the number of tourists participating in slum tourism. They then presented a graph on the rise of slum tourism and the estimated numbers of tourists per year. It all begins in the 90s, where South Africa and Brazil had first developed slum tourism. It then moves to North America, where Mexico was involved in around 1995. During the early 20s, the expansion of countries arrived in Asia. The number of slum tourist destinations has continued increased and has later transformed into a type of tourism. This indeed could generate income especially with developing countries that are heavily rely on tourism. As Frenzel (2013) states that slum tourism could contribute to development by creating a variety sources of income and non-material benefits. These benefits are not actually benefiting the community but acts as a form of exploitation instead. As a result, this paper argues how slum tourism is being portrayed as a form of exploitation through poverty, the ethics in participating in slum tourism and how it does not lead to economic development.
