Things You Need To Know About Sex Trafficking

By Jan S. Travis


Sex trafficking is a serious global problem that's affecting nations like a plague. It is the criminal act of forcing someone into prostitution. Its victims are mostly women and young girls that it forces to engage in sex through intimidation and other illegal means. This illegal activity has become a lucrative international industry, and it has alarmed governments and human rights groups such as Justice61.

Sex trafficking can disguise itself as an act of benevolence. It lures potential victims by showing care and concern for their families or promises them with a job overseas. This illegal activity can even go as far as offering their victims accommodation and services only to demand repayment for those acts of "goodwill" afterwards, and this can only be repaid if the family agrees to give target victim in to prostitution. To help stop human trafficking, each one of us should be vigilant about its activities.

Sex trafficking is a modern version of human slavery. It has become an organized, multi-billion dollar industry and it has worsened over the years not only in the United States but all over the world. According to a 2014 report from the Urban Institute, the child trafficking organizations in Colorado alone is a 40 million dollar industry.

This criminal act uses force, threats, violence, lies and money to compel girls and women to engage in commercial or forced sexual acts. There are also times that a sex trafficker gets romantically involved with his potential victim then manipulates her into prostitution later on. A trafficker can also lure a potential victim with false promises of a modeling, acting or dancing job. Other girls are forced into prostitution by their parents or other members of their family. Sex trafficking is a plague. The human trafficking charities Colorado residents have established are actively doing something to stop this problem in their locality.

A majority of the patrons of sex trafficking syndicates want young girls. This is the very reason why its perpetrators prefer to victimize teenage girls. Those who run away from their homes and those who are addicted to drugs are their most gullible targets. To a sex trafficker, it wouldn't matter whether a girl is black, white, brown or yellow as long as she's young. There's always someone who's willing to take her for sex. This scenario is alarming all sectors of society including the some churches. Even youth organizations such as the Colorado volunteers for teens have a deep concern for this problem.

The number of sex trafficking victims is increasing every day. But only a few of them are brave enough to call for help. It takes a proactive move from the government, human rights organizations and people like you to be able to discover those who had fallen prey to this inhuman business. In order to make this happen, funds are necessary. For this reason, the human rights groups that fight sex trafficking are soliciting funds. If you have a heart and compassion about the plight of sex trafficking victims, you can share a part of your extra resources to Donate Organization Colorado or any other organization with similar advocacies.
