In the shadow of the red-light: Sex Trafficking - the ugliest trade in human history

It is a multifaceted Documentary-Novel on Sex Trafficking in South Asia. The novel is set in five South Asian countries-Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Pakistan, but it deeply and shockingly represents the entire global sex trade; the multi-billion-dollar industry of modern-day- slavery, where women are enslaved, raped, tortured, forced into sex 20-30 times a day, ended up with incurable diseases like HIV and finally are thrown away, once their bodies are no longer marketable. It is a deeply researched and creatively composed piece of literature.
