Japan's ruling party will conduct a new study on wartime sex slaves and the government will provide documents as needed, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said yesterday, rejecting a call from within his party for the government to commission the research. Abe has stirred anger with remarks that appeared to question the state's role in forcing women to work in brothels during World War II, although he has also said a 1993 apology acknowledging coercion remained in effect. "The party will conduct the research," Abe told reporters yesterday. "The government will cooperate as needed by providing materials." Earlier, Abe was presented...

Albertville (AL) police have charged three men with running an $800,000-a-year prostitution house from a trailer park. Authorities believe the prostitutes, some of whom may have been minors, were brought across the Mexican border and forced to work in the brothel. Police believe the proprietors used women smuggled over the Mexican border, charging them $2,500 to $4,000 to come to the United States and forcing them to work in the brothel. It is not clear yet whether the men who ran the operation were also bringing the women into the country.

WARSAW, Poland (CNS) -- Polish nuns, anticipating an increase in human trafficking and prostitution during the World Cup in Germany, have issued anti-prostitution leaflets in multiple languages for circulation during the competition. "Our resources are extremely limited, but we're doing what we can," said Ursuline Sister Jolanta Olech, president of Poland's Conference of Superiors of Female Religious Orders.

Where would sex trafficking and prostitution be without a john willing to purchase another human being for sex? We normally approach the topic of sex trafficking from the victim’s perspective, because the horrors that these tortured women and children endure hour upon hour, day after day, must end. The more we raise awareness about this issue and enact programs to rescue victims, the sooner they have a chance at a renewed life. But in this article, we will look at the problem from a different angle: the demand side. Most people who pay for commercial sex acts are men....

Feds bust girl-smuggling ring in Jersey By LEO STANDORADAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER An international ring smuggled girls as young as 14 into the U.S. from Honduras and forced them to work as virtual slaves in New Jersey bars - and endure brutal beatings if they protested, authorities said yesterday.
