Women Victims and Sex Trafficking
- Human trafficking- more money made in trafficking especially in the sex industry.
- Sex trafficking is the fastest growing business of organized crime
Sex trafficking is the where the traffickers make most of their profit. Women are forced or coerced into a variety of commercial sex trafficking. They even have children who are part of sex trading. Sex traffickers will target only women who are in some kind of trouble particularly economically. They use their vulnerability to capture them and lure them in to their lies of helping them in getting a better job. These victims also have a history of some kind of abuse in their past, making it easier later to use violence when ever need, threats, lies, debt bondage, or other forms of control and manipulation to keep them from escaping and involved in this sex industry that has been created.
The following are some types of commercial sex trade that these women fall victim into, prostitution, massage parlors, strip clubs, virgins (high profit if they have virgins), children, male order brides , male brides, even sex tourism in their own country. Most people don't realize but the strip club that they attend in the United States are as well part of this market of human trafficking. In the United States sex trafficking has been discovered to exist in brothels, hostess clubs, online escorts services, fake massage business where people pay for more then a massage, even prostitution.
Sex trafficking is 90% women and girls. Over 50,000 women are trafficked each year. Traffickers create a strong bond with their woman with manipulation. They might promise them marriage or money. Sex trafficking usually results in debt bondage, which is when the woman is stuck with her employer until she makes enough money for him to pay back the money that she cost him. The most popular places for women that are trafficked are usually in the countries where prostitution is legal. The women are forced to work long hours with no pay in isolation, and are mentally and physically abused, and drugged by their employer. One way for a woman to escape trafficking, is to become a perpetrator herself. Some women return home to recruit new victims. In Ukraine 70% of the pimps are women.
The trafficking of women is a slavery act that is an insult to their dignity and a threat to their existence. Many risks are placed upon women that are trafficked such as STD's, long term PTSD, unwanted pregnancies, and abortions.
