"Going nowhere marks the dead end for a vast population of women trapped in the notorious web of cross-border trafficking, falling prey to the poverty, unemployment and still a male chauvinistic society, the unfortunate women and children are exploited not only by foreign governments, pimps and touts but also their own administration and people. Leaving their land for a lucrative job across the border they witness their dreams turning into nightmares and dangerous paws of predators drawing their blood-literally. Their route to wealth finally binds them into an endless loop of sadistic exploitation and misery. A wide study across the countries and continents has shown the growth of phenomenon not only engulfing the Far East, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Africa but on a sharp rise in developed countries like United States of America and Europe too. Case studies by Human Rights Organisation have shown the women and child labourers being treated like cattle, trapped in false debt or jailed for no fault of theirs. The book is an eye-opener for the students of social sciences and researchers and general readers. Include are some first person accounts of the people who passed through the passage of hell."
