This 3-credit service-learning course trip reviews the historical, cultural and socio-political evolution of gender and violence against women within the context of both traditional and contemporary society. Emphasis is placed on global social work intervention models, modern gender studies and controversies, and the social/cultural construction of difference with an emphasis on global women's’ issues; specifically, human sex trafficking in Kolkata, India. The course format comprises of three sections: 
1) Spring Quarter 2016: Gaining global understanding and context by learning about India’s history, economy, religions, culture, and key components of the sex trade.
2) Summer Quarter 2016: Students will spend 4 weeks in Kolkata, India working with non-governmental organizations combatting sex trafficking. Guided discussions on experience and integration of theory, and dialogue focused on faith and poverty will take place.
 3) Fall Quarter 2016: A debrief period where guided facilitation through reverse culture shock, feelings of guilt, processing experience, and an action based project is expected.
