It specifically targets women and children forcing them to perform sexual activities. Most sex slaves are women, followed by young girls and a small percentage of men and boys. Sex slavery includes pornography, prostitution and other forms of sexual exploitation. Victims are often form poor countries and are offered legitimate employment in another country. Sex slavery almost always involves human trafficking.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unodc.org\/unodc\/en\/human-trafficking\/what-is-human-trafficking.html\" target=\"_blank\">Human Trafficking <\/a>is the recruitment, transport, transfer, harboring or receipt of a person by any means of threat, force, coercion or deception for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation may include forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor, or other servitude.
