Abstract
In the wake of the Vietnam War, a surge in sexploitation emerged, casting a shadow over Southeast Asia. The conflict fueled demand for sexual services among American soldiers, leading to a proliferation of sex work and exploitation of women and children. Despite women's active roles in the war, they faced exploitation, perpetuating a culture of sex work that persists today.
This project delves into the roots and repercussions of sexploitation in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Drawing on scholarly articles, oral histories, and government documents, it analyzes socio-economic and political factors perpetuating exploitation. It also examines the portrayal of Vietnamese women in American media and its impact on perpetuating stereotypes.
Through an interdisciplinary approach, this study contributes to understanding the complexities of sexploitation and its broader implications for gender equality and social justice in the region.
