I can find statistics that show that anywhere from 15,000 to 50,000 women

What's interesting to note, is that human trafficking has replaced the
drug trade as the world's largest illegal business. A large part of that
business, is slavery, including sex slavery. It's disgraceful in this day
and age.

So does Israel "lead the World in sex slave trade" as Dan posited?

Perhaps on a per capita basis ;-) Seriously, I don't know the answer to
that question. There are quite a few articles on Israel's involvement
with sexual slavery, but the big numbers, at least in total dollars, are
in the US and Europe. There is a pie-chart in this article:

The pie-chart seems to indicate that Dan's assertion isn't correct.

As always, though, I'm sure the stats can be manipulated to read "per
capita" or "as a percentage of GDP"...and make it look like Israel is near
the top.

The report, issued annually, said some 10,000 such women currently reside in
about 300 to 400 brothels throughout the country. They are traded for about
USD 8,000 - USD 10,000, the committee said.

The U.S. State Department ranks Israel in the second tier of human
trafficking around the world, saying the Jewish State does not maintain
minimal conditions regarding the issue but is working to improve them.

Israel passed a law in 2003 that would allow the state to confiscate the
profits of traffickers, but watchdog groups say it is rarely enforced.
