Abstract
This research investigates how the sex traffic industry prefers to traffic women over men and how countries that have partially legalized and those that have completely legalized prostitution have a lower or a higher sex traffic industry. I consider how human development and GDP per capita have an important role in the sex traffic industry. By comparing two different countries that have completely legalized prostitution with a country that has partially legalized prostitution, my research shows that countries that have legalized prostitution completely, have a lower sex traffic inflow than those who have partially legalized it. The two countries that fully legalized prostitution, approved laws with hopes of improving the position of sex workers. Created for IST 470, under the direction of Prof. Denis Rey.
