De 'handel in blanke slavinnen'.

This dissertation systematically analyzes the trafficking of women and girls into prostitution, defining the phenomenon, distinguishing domestic and cross-border forms, and cataloguing deceptive methods used by traffickers. It surveys the scale and causes, assesses preventive and repressive measures, and discusses general legal principles. A major portion reviews national laws and international declarations, comparing legislation and case approaches across numerous countries and regions. The work concludes with recommendations for legal and administrative responses and a postscript reflecting on evidence gathering and reform challenges.
