Week Four:
 Further research on sex trafficking- What is human sex trafficking?   Sex traffickers use threats, manipulation, lies, debt bondage, and other forms of coercion to compel adults and children to engage in commercial sex acts against their will. There's multiple ways in how to stop/prevent human trafficking such as holding an event to raise awareness, starting a club/community group, lobby local policymakers, etc.  The common age a child enters sex trafficking is 14-16 meaning they are too young and too naive to realize what is happening. Victims suffer from long lasting physical and psychological trauma, disease (HIV/AIDS), drug addiction, malnutrition, and social ostracism
Statistics:

  • Image result for human sex trafficking facts
  • There is an estimated 21 million people in forced or coerced human trafficking world wide
  • of those 21 million people, 68% of them are subjected to forced labor while 22% are subjected to forced sexual exploitation and the remaining 10% are in forms of state-imposed forced labor 
  • In those sex trafficked, 75% are women and girls and then 25% are children
