Lecture: Sex Slaves and the Johns Who Buy Them: Is it Right to Control Demand in a Consumer's Market? - May 6
Wed., May 6
PAC 134
7:30pm
Dr. Kate Transchel, Department of History
Dr. Transchel has been researching the trade in flesh from the former Soviet Union for the last eight years. Having returned in January from a four-month research trip to Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, and Latvia, Transchel explores the nature of the sex trade — the women and children trapped in it, the traffickers profiting from it, and the johns creating the demand for it. In economic parlance, women are the commodity — the supply side of the equation. Embedded on the supply side are “push” factors: extreme poverty, lack of education, lack of opportunities, a desire to improve one’s desperate life. On the demand side are men who use and abuse prostituted women and children. It is the demand that fuels the trade in flesh. In a consumer society, do we have the right — or even the obligation — to control demand?
