The trade in women is controlled by the yakuza crime syndicate. These women are forced to work as prostitutes against their own free will and recieve no payment.

The yakuza rely on the terror of the concentration camp, verbal threats, beatings and rape. Japan is one of the regions top destinations for women forced into sexual slavery.

Human Rights activists estimate the trade is worth Yen4 trillion ($400 million) a year. It is estimated more then 75,000 women are working as prostitution slaves in Japan.

The trade accounts for 1% of Japan's GNP, as big as its annual defence budget. Little wonder the Japanese government does not care about these women. It appears it considers the dollar more important.

Somtimes the women escape these prostition death camps but the retribution is swift and brutal. Usually it is targetted at both the women and their families. Traffickers gunned down a Thai man who was waiting at Bangkok airport to meet his daughter who had fled her captors.
