I just got this from CBC online news. It's a run-up to my post tomorrow
"According to many experts in this field, the illegal trafficking in humans, drugs and weapons accounts for a whopping 15 per cent of world commerce.
Of these three items, human smuggling brings in far more cash. It's simple math. Drugs and guns can only be sold once. Women and girls can be sold again and again.
Also, human cargo comes cheap. In many cases, smugglers don't even have to pay for the women and children. Smooth talking recruiters simply entice poor females from their homes with promises of a better life and more money.
Often the smuggled females end up paying their own fare and working off the cost of their transport by selling their bodies.
Prostitutes hit their peak earning potential by the time they're 25, many people feel. Which is one reason why recruiters are going after younger and younger girls"
