Today we go from Hollywood to South Africa to Zimbabwe to India to the Philippines. While Hollywood concludes negotiations for distribution rights to a new film about sex trafficking, poor rural families in Zimbabwe negotiate for food by selling their young daughters to wealthy men. In India police would rather investigate more high profile crimes than trafficking of women and children, while in the Philippines police rescue 33 trafficked women from a brothel. And as South Africa begins its "Child Protection Week" we learn that child prostitution in Johannesburg is on the rise.
