The Need For Millennials For The Sex Slave Industry

I want to have 4 children one day. Two girls and two boys. My children could be vulnerable to sex trafficking if I don’t teach them the dangers of what a conniving, charming, and manipulative person could do by turning them no longer into a friend but a product that is bought and sold for sex. According to Equality Now about 18,000 people in the US and 20.9 million people worldwide adults and children are bought and sold due to sex trafficking. That means one out of forty-three people will be bought and sold into sex trafficking in the US alone and I do not want that one to be any of you. Slavery in any form makes me sick to think about. Sex trafficking is one that upsets me the most. The buying and selling of humans for a sexual and torturous purpose should without a doubt looked upon in a stricter light. Together we need to shed light on this dark topic and know the warning signs of a pimp and of a victim so we can stop something that to the subject seems impossible to stop.

“ She was just seventeen when she got into prostitution- child trafficking- but she didn’t know she was a victim at the time. She had been beaten and raped by her father since she was twelve years old.” (Zhai Yun, 1.) Young victims of youth sex trafficking are not just kidnapped by unknown people into this. It can be by their father, mother, brother, or sister. It can be forced upon them by people who have come into their life claiming they can make it better. When in reality it just makes it worse. They have no idea what they are getting into and what is going to happen to them. They are fed with lies and false pretentions of what is going to happen. They are caught in a trap that is hard to get out of. Often they are to scared to try to run or be rescued. They just do what they are told so that they live or so their loved ones live.

The main reason thousands of women are forced or have to enter into sexual slavery and prostitution is because of poverty. According to the VTVPA, sex trafficking “means the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act" (p. 8) and that a commercial sex act is "any sex act on account of which anything of value is given to or received by any person" (p. 7). It is critical to understand that this includes the "pimping" or "prostituting" of

Although slavery was abolished in 1865, the practice of it is still very alive today. Human trafficking, a form of modern slavery, is the buying and selling of people, whether it 's for forced labor or commercial sex. Every year, thousands of adults and children, especially girls, are forced into the endless trafficking ring. “The International Labour Organization estimates that there are 20.9 million victims of human trafficking globally” (“The Facts”). The human trafficking industry is a worldwide network that is worth an estimated 150 billion dollars (“The Facts”). Millions of stories about victims experiences can be found and read. Many of these victims are sucked into the world of human trafficking because they are immigrants trying to escape to the U.S. and have debts to pay off once they get there. Trafficking happens everywhere, from big city shopping centers, to small town massage parlors. People are being captured, sold and transported across the world via various forms of transportation at all times. With updated technology, it becomes easier and easier to buy and sell these “slaves” and with this, the chances of being caught and punished is almost nothing. Many people think slavery is dead; however, human trafficking is still alive and it needs to be stopped because many people are being forced into involuntary sex and labor.

When looking at today’s society we look at America as the land of the free, but we forget to recognize the fact that some people such as women, and children are still writhe from brutalization and imprisonment at the hands of others. These victims are becoming commodities, sold to the highest bidder and sometimes for little as pennies. When thinking about the situation it’s a form the presents as slavery, but the act of slavery ended when Lincoln signed in 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation stated that all the people who are held as slaves within the confederate states should be free. Now in modern day human trafficking continues to cultivate in the United States. Millions of women, and children are thrown into the human trafficking market

In conclusion I think that human trafficking is a topic that is not talked about a lot and it need to because is very important its a huge topic back then in the slavery year it was a big topic now all you see in the new is touristy attack or global warming which are very important topics but their not the only topics that are important and need to be heard by the public people need to know that slavery still exists.So what would you do if you were being stripped of your freedom and you were practically a slave what would you think knowing your family or your close friend were a victim and still is a

In 1865, the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States, but even after that the amendment was signed many individuals did not stop and abolish the idea of slavery as a whole. The action of slavery still existed after 1865 because individuals were still selling and degrading other human beings. It can be argued that trafficking human beings is one of the most profitable crimes today. Sex trafficking has been extremely profitable because some say that humans can be used for many different purposes, for more than one time. Unlike slavery in the 1800’s, there has now been a Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000, which states that sex trafficking and labor trafficking is illegal, which helps prevent violence

In the book, the Slave Next Door, Bales and Soodalter discuss a number of issues about human trafficking. Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery. The first issue that worry me most is slavery. The second-highest number of human trafficking victims are in the United States are domestic slaves. The underlying characteristics of domestic slavery is total control of mind and body. This normally involves threats and violence. There is a large amount of violence and abuse involved in sex slavery, many times leading to death. Globalization seems to have played a major role in the rise of sex slavery and the sex trade but has also played major roles in efforts to stop it. I believe that the buying, molesting, selling, trading, mistreating, using, abusing, sex trafficking and other kind of trafficking of human beings

The definition of a slave is ‘‘a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them.’’ Even though people may not be thinking as sexual trafficking as an act of slavery, I think that it is because like slavery you are transporting an individual against their will for a benefit for another individual, Sex trafficking involves an individual being kidnapped, drugged, and raped thus why it is modern slavery. Like slavery, sexual trafficking pimps use force to ensure that victims comply as well when being kidnapped from their homes violence is applied in which slavery has the same concept. Pimps like to beat down on the victims to a point in which they have low self worth, pride and dignity. Therefore also relating to slavery as one is using force to make one feel down on themselves to get more of what they want and to also leave a message that they are greater than you. Some people say that sexual trafficking is one's only source of income that without this business many people would not get income this is true however, selling victims for your own benefit goes against morals as you are putting a price-tag on one's freedom for your benefit. This proves that sexual trafficking is not only a modern day slavery act but also goes against morals for

Force, fraud, or coercion to commit a commercial sex act with either an adult or causing a minor to commit the commercial sex act is called sex trafficking (shared hope). In other words, it is another name for sex slavery. In a journal article I read called “The Frequency of Burns Among the Victims of Sex Trafficking in Some Lower-Middle-Income Countries” by Mohsen Rezaeian, he wrote, “human trafficking can be considered as the mediator of modern slavery. Evidence suggests that human trafficking is going to surpass other varieties of trafficking including arms and drugs. It has been estimated that annually sex trafficking of young females is worth $32 billion. This explains why 49% and 21% of detected modern day slave victims are women and girls, respectively.” (Science Direct) When I think about slavery, I think about the horrific acts of slavery in the 1800’s, where African Americans were treated as the scum between our toes. Sex slavery, or sex trafficking, to me, is treating those victims the same as the African Americans were treated. Victims are lured into the business with numerous promises, all they have to do it commit the horrendous act. Being involved in prostitution, sexual performance, or pornography for something like money, food, clothes, drugs, or shelter is committing a commercial sex act.

Many individuals are unaware of the severity of slavery across the globe today. It is a common fallacy that slavery was abolished long ago or even that it solely happens in impoverished countries located oceans away. What society does not realize is that more enslaved humans exist today than ever before (Lehnardt 1). Modernized slavery—specifically sex-trafficking—happens in third-world countries, as well as right here in America. Our world has a lot of progress to make towards winning this war against sex slavery. Though slavery will most likely never be completely wiped from our world, there are steps that society can take to help combat it. Actions need to be taken to better aid those

The slavery we have been taught in school has ended, but a new form of slavery has arisen. Sex slavery or human slavery or trafficking. People such as children of both genders, women, even men are easily persuaded by the false pretenses by someone unknown to them, or abducted, or drugged with rohypnol or a roofie or date rape drug or another drug. The person being abducted or persuaded for candy or to help them find a dog or to go see one, could be taken because someone owes a debt or someone has a vendetta against someone else whom the abductee or person knows so they are taken as revenge or as a source of money.

Slavery is a modern, pervasive problem. Human trafficking has been found in every state in America (humantrafficking.org). It seems that most Americans likely live within a comfortable drive of someone who is being exploited through human trafficking. There is a growing trend in human trafficking toward sexual exploitation (Bennetts, 2011). The Information Age has helped to create new opportunities for sex trafficking to flourish.

Human Trafficking has become the modern day slavery; endangering millions if innocent humans. What is human trafficking? Well human trafficking or sex trafficking is when someone is illegally moving people from one country to another; it’s typically known for forced labor or forced sexual exploitation. Many victims are tricked into thinking that they are getting a better job offer, better living environment or even tricked into thinking they will be moved safely to a better country. This illegal industry is making a fortune, over $32 billion yearly, and is spreading all over the world. Now many people aren’t aware of the major threat and that is because people aren’t aware of what’s going on. For example, many of the students in my English class were unaware of what human trafficking was. During the class we had the opportunity to read Sold written by Patricia McCormick, and it opened up all of our eyes. It gave us the perspective of what the slaves had to deal with. With the book and the recent movies, like Taken, have opened up the eyes of society and see how dangerous and common human trafficking is.

Today, human trafficking has been at an all time high. Research on the topic is scarce, but increasing. The more we research and find out about this, the more apparent the situation becomes. 3,287 people are sold into sex slavery every year. 3,287 people are becoming sex slaves every year. To have legalized prostitution means that prostitutes must prove that they willingly chose to
