Sex trafficking is a moral and legal tragedy that affects thousands in the United States and abroad. The U.S. State Department estimates that human traffickers bring between 14,500 and 17,500 persons annually into the United States for various avenues of exploitation, including involuntary servitude and forced prostitution. Human traffickers are highly organized into criminal syndicates that reap exponential profits exploiting vulnerable women and children.

LLM Theses and Essays
The World Bank and the IMF are among the most important international organizations globally promoting economic stability, growth, free trade, and poverty reduction by financing a widevariety of projects. The policies governing their activities have universal impact. The purpose of this study is to unfold flaws and failures of the multilateral institutions' activities toward financing Russia during a transitional period, leading to dangerous worldwide corruption, money laundering, fraud, and misuse of international funds by the Russian Government. The result of such misuse was increased poverty in Russia, lost belief in the fairness of Governmentalinstitutions, the rule of law and justice, …
