Child Prostitution in Thailand: Listening to Rahab

What can we learn from the tragedy of these exploited young people?

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 uniquely insightful book looks into the lives–and even more importantly, listens to the words–of ten Thai prostitutes. Child Prostitution in Thailand is about what we can learn from them–who they are, what they go through, and why.

In their own words, the young prostitutes you’ll meet in this book Thailand discuss what brought them into this life. Some have come from a tragic home situation, but not all are impoverished, orphaned, or abused. Nevertheless, they have entered into a dangerous and degrading lifestyle that often leads to violence, sickness, and early death. Of these ten prostitutes, one has already passed away and four more are dying with AIDS.
