Description

“Not for Sale” was commissioned by counter trafficking charity Churches Alert To Sex Trafficking across Europe (CHASTE) and includes in its editorial team, Dr Carrie Pemberton, a recognised expert in the field of trafficking and the Chair of the national research forum for the United Kingdom Human Trafficking Centre.

This cross-over book drives home a message for our times, using a courageous range of literary and communication styles; from the tough revelations of an “exited” prostituted woman, to prayers composed to recognise the hurt, degradation and deceit of this awful world of abuse. This book never ceases to surprise and provoke. Case studies mingle with poetry, prose reflection, theological meditation, songs of protest and trenchant liturgy.

The message of this book is clear: trafficking for sexual exploitation is an extension of the abuse present in all forms of national prostitution. To call prostitution “the oldest profession” is risible. This notion and many other myths are exploded by the real perspective shown through this anthology; that sexual exploitation is one of the oldest forms of violence against women – and that it is condoned by society and promoted through commerce.

The Anthology is divided up into sections spanning the nature of trafficking and sexual exploitation, case studies, reflections on the abuse of power, the challenge of Gendered and Sexual Relationships, the market place driving demand and the mandate of safety for survivors.

“Not for Sale” is an essential read for anyone wishing to know and understand more about the contemporary reality of the 4,000 women trafficked into the UK each year to “work” in the sex markets of all our major cities. Let alone the estimated 900,000 women and children trafficked, annually, for sex across the globe.
