Bindel peels away the liberal veneer from the pro-prostitution lobby and its academic supporters to show how a feminist analysis of the sex trade is essential to give meaning to the culture’s claim to support ‘human rights.’ With the voices of prostitution survivors at the core of the book, Bindel’s reporting provides the context to understand the routine abuse in the sexual-exploitation industries.” (Robert Jensen, Professor, University of Texas at Austin, School of Journalism, Author of The End of Patriarchy: Radical Feminism for Men) This brave new book tells the stories not only of the incredible women who have survived prostitution but the men who choose to buy and sell women’s bodies. “For decades, Julie Bindel’s journalism has helped us see the pathology of patriarchy. But it will never leave you indifferent, and it will always make you question, which is why there should be more of it.” (Rose George, Author and journalist) You may love Bindel’s work, you may profoundly disagree with it. “A profoundly impressive piece of reporting and polemic into a commercial industry. Bindel is a fearless, uncompromising voice who deserves to be universally heard.” (Janice Turner, Times Newspaper columnist) It will help feminism untangle itself from all the knots of faux progressiveness about prostitution, which is repackaging sexual abuse as empowerment. “This book is comprehensive, authoritative, personally revealing, and a clear headed rage against a tide of modern double think. In this amazing investigative book, she manages to break through the mist and exposes the realities of how the sex trade actually works - and who it benefits.” (Nimco Ali, activist and writer) “Julie Bindel knows violence against women when she sees it. This is Julie Bindel at her best, demolishing the myths around prostitution and asking us to listen to survivors, the women and men who know the ugly reality first-hand.” (Joan Smith, author of Misogynies)

It is the most thorough analysis of prostitution I have ever read!” (Victor Malarek, author of The Natashas: Inside the Global Sex Trade, and The Johns, Sex for Sale and the Men who Buy it) Her research into this devastating human rights violation against women and girls worldwide is powerful, profound and most important of all, irrefutable. “Julie Bindel shatters the myths, misconceptions and outright lies about the buying and selling of women’s bodies for sex. Informed by the lived human experience of those interviewed, this book will be of great interest to feminists, students, criminal justice advocates, criminologists and human rights activists. Whilst meeting feminist abolitionists, pro-prostitution campaigners, police and government officials, and the men who drive the demand, Bindel uncovered the lies, mythology and criminal activity that shroud this global trade, and suggests here a way forward for the women seeking to abolish the oldest oppression. Visiting legal brothels all around the world, Bindel got to know pimps, pornographers, survivors of the sex trade, and the women being sold by men classed as ‘business entrepreneurs’. Over the course of two years, Bindel conducted 250 interviews in almost 40 countries, cities and states, traveling around Europe, Asia, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and East and South Africa. For decades, the liberal left has been conflicted as to whether pro-prostitution activists or abolitionists hold the correct view, and debates are ongoing as to who holds the key to the solutions facing the women and girls involved. This book examines one of the most contested issues facing feminists, human rights activists and governments around the globe – the international sex trade.
