Description: "Child Prostitution in Thailand: Listening to Rahab looks into the lives - and even more important, listens to the words - of 10 Thai prostitutes. This book is about what we can learn from them - who they are, what they go through, and why. In their own words, the young prostitutes you'll meet discuss what brought them to enter into a dangerous and degrading lifestyle that often leads to violence, sickness, and early death.

An appendix assessing the incidence of child prostitution around the globe brings the information even more clearly into focus."--BOOK JACKET.
