This workshop explores the extent of sexual exploitation and violence toward women in the 21st century on both a local and a global scale, with focusing on the issues of prostitution and the sex trafficking of women. After reflecting Biblically on these issues, Christians responses to these issues are also explored, including ideas for action and education.
