The Fight to End Sex for Sale Since the beginning of time all human beings have had a basic desire for freedom and equal rights. When we think of slavery many things come to mind such as the civil war to put an end to slavery and also in more modern times leaders like Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, and Frederick Douglass dedicated their lives to equal rights for everyone.

The Polaris Project is one organization that has begun to take action. Rehabilitation centers have been created for the survivors of human trafficking. They have also been in contact with the government to let them know what needs to be done. Awareness is a crucial part in bringing an end to sex trafficking. There are hotlines to contact such as, The National Human Trafficking Resource Center and Hope for Justice if you believe someone is being used for sex trafficking. Educating ourselves is another step to ending sex trafficking. Being able to recognize the signs of someone being held in sex slavery is very important in being able to get them help. Some of these signs are fear, limited freedom of movement, and anxiety. These victims are given promises of money, education, and a better life. They believe it is simply a job (hopeforjustice.org). We need to be aware and supportive to organizations that want to put a stop to sex trafficking or it will get worse. The victims feel trapped with no way out; No one should feel this type of

Before the American Civil War there were many acts and movements made to end slavery and to obtain equality for African-Americans. This mainly started with The Second Great Awakening which initially began making people realize the wrongness in slavery and sparked a want to create a change. These people became known as abolitionists and did things like establish anti-slavery societies, publicly circulated moral suasion, sent hundreds of petitions up to Congress, and even created the Liberty Party in efforts to politically involve themselves.

In addition to the lack of education, there is also a great deal of ignorance in our communities when recognizing those who may be forced into sexual exploitation. It is not their fault but in a sense it is ours for the lack of involvement. We must pay our communities more attention and speak out for the voiceless, it is our job to help prevent this horrific crime from happening to these innocent women and children. The lack of involvement is also one of the largest epidemics on the widespread of Human Trafficking. For example, Theresa Flores was a 15 year old teenager, just like any other teenager, loved track, enjoyed school, and was an exceptional student, so most would assume, but what you didn’t know about her is she had been forced into a lifestyle unimaginable.

American government and societies are enforcing underage prostitution by increasing demand to have sex with young girls, criticizing victims as criminals and ignoring sex trafficking. The societies are not willing to rescue victims because they think it was their decision of going into prostitution or it is too risky. Some girls make this decision, but many of them are trafficked and enforced into prostitution. In the popular article titled, “Human Trafficking: A Misunderstood Global Scourge,” Stephanie states, “Often, girls who end up in prostitution are already vulnerable – they are abuse victims, come from unstable homes, have run away, or suffer mental impairments. Others are simply naive, susceptible to manipulation of a pimp,

Human trafficking produces billions of dollars in profit every year, it is right behind drug trafficking as the most lucrative form of crime throughout the world. (DHS website). Victims of human trafficking rarely come forward due to the threats of murder, threats of killing their loved ones/friends, as well as having nowhere else to go because they have been ostracized from their own family and their “pimp” is their family.

However, this argument couldn't be further from the truth. Children who are forced into sex slavery are often kidnapped or lured with false promises, and are then subjected to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Others argue that the best way to combat child sex trafficking is to increase law enforcement efforts and impose harsher penalties on traffickers. While these measures are important, they only address the symptoms of the problem, rather than the root causes. In order to effectively combat child sex trafficking, we must address the underlying factors that contribute to the problem, including poverty, inequality, and lack of education.

The United States abolished slavery in 1865, the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states, "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude...shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction" (The United States Constitution). We never thought that over one-hundred years later there would be a new form of slavery that has affected so many people around the globe. Human trafficking is another name for modern-day slavery, where the victims involved are forced, coerced and deceived into labor and sexual exploitation. Most human trafficking victims are forced into the trade by the false promises made regarding job opportunities. Many women from third world countries are lured into this trade with the bait of false marriages or false jobs.

But with saying that, I think that our world needs to focus on finding ways to educate everyone around the world about this crisis and better incorporate the lesson of sex education and to make it a part of the national curriculum.
