The Peacekeepers and the Women

The disparity between an impoverished civil population and the spending power of security forces encourages new and criminal 'business ideas' to gain a foothold in crisis zones. THE PEACEKEEPERS AND THE WOMEN shows how the trafficking of women and girls and forced prostitution in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo has advanced into a lucrative economic sector. Members of the international troops and the aid organizations stationed there are some of the slave holders' well-heeled customers. Women and girls from Moldavia and other areas are often lured with false promises into the conflict zone.
