Trafficking in women is not a new phenomenon in the LA region. At the end of the 19th century, the trafficking of European women (“trata de blancas”) for the purpose of sexual exploitation became frequent. The accelerated trend was related to the feminization of migration inside Europe, as well as from Europe to other destinations, like Asia, America and Africa. Grant from the World Council of Churches, November 2005 (This paper will be included in a forthcoming volume on the links between trafficking in women and globalisation to be published by the World Council of Churches).
