Child Prostitution in Thailand: Listening to Rahab

In Thailand, a thriving sex industry makes its money exploiting the young. Some children are coerced into prostitution and some have been sold into sexual slavery by their own families, but just as tragically there is no shortage of young girls (and boys) willing to work as prostitutes. Child Prostitution in Thailand: Listening to Rahab searches for the reasons why. This insightful book looks into the lives--and even more importantly, listens to the words--of 10 Thai prostitutes. Child Prostitution in Thailand is about what we can learn from them--who they are, what they go through, and why. A helpful glossary of common Thai terms and an appendix assessing incidents of child prostitution around the globe bring the information even more clearly into focus.
