N2  - Trafficking in human beings has become the centre of worldwide attention. This phenomenon should be understood not merely as a matter of organized criminal activity, but as an aspect of the global sex industry. The global sex industry can be defined sociologically as a social system with subsystems in which organized criminal activity represents one subsystem. The overall industry takes place in a context of economic globalization, international migration, and other factors. Using Israel as an example, it is possible to see how the local sex trade is linked to the global phenomenon. To be effective, national responses need to take into account international aspects.
