Abstract

Sexual trafficking affects many women globally, with Eastern Europe and Albania as the major centers. Women's vulnerability is increased by poverty, patriarchal gender patterns, and historical events. Governmental policies and program responses in terms of laws, prevention, and shelters for victims are described along with lessons for addressing sexual trafficking.
