Four women’s strikingly different stories weave together, to reveal an institution that enslaves as many as 40 million women worldwide. From the backrooms of teashops and restaurants, to five star hotels, in Myanmar, the sex trade thrives on the routine merchandising of women for the sexual escape and pleasure of men from all cultures. In "Anonymously Yours," young sex workers share their personal histories and painful experiences, even as they strive to create new and better lives for themselves and their families.

Filmed in Myanmar (formerly Burma), "Anonymously Yours" exposes a ubiquitous barter of children and women, which supplies a demand so great that the hunt for girls to stock brothels often spills into neighboring countries. In a region steeped in oppression and unemployment, brothels provide jobs, revenue and diversion, making them a mainstay in virtually every community.
