A Place of Hope

The Problem:

Thailand is home to 500,000 to one million men, women and children involved in the sex trade. Thai women are also found in the sex trade in most first world countries, often exploited by brokers who sell them to international traffickers who house them in deplorable conditions and sell them over and over again.

Prostitution in Thailand is driven by poverty, lack of education, gender inequality, domestic violence and family greed. While the women of Thailand do not support a drug habit, they conscientiously support their families: their children, their parents, their sisters and brothers.

Having been told they cannot survive without a man, many young women sell themselves in the red light districts that cater to Western men in hopes of finding one that will take care of them and their family.
