Sex trafficking operates as a business, where women are treated as commodities within a global market for sex. Traffickers profit from a supply of vulnerable women, international demand for sex slavery, and a viable means of transporting victims. Globalization and the expansion of free market capitalism have increased these factors, leading to a dramatic increase in sex trafficking. Globalization has also brought new dimensions to the fight against sex trafficking.

More than 80% are not orphans. 80 years of research demonstrates the harm caused by raising children in institutions. As a result, most countries in the developed world moved away from this form of care decades ago. The Haitian government has prioritised reducing reliance on orphanage care, to ensure children can be raised in families.

Discuss the Australian model as a case study WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THIS? • Forced marriage is a form of violence against women in its own right. • Forced marriage is just one part of a spectrum of other harms. • Forced marriage cases can have elements of trafficking and human trafficking survivors may have experienced a forced marriage.
