Theresa Flores’s “The Slave Across the Street,” is a personal anecdote whose main purpose is to make Americans aware of the reality of human trafficking being in the U.S. and in our neighborhoods. The book shows how even in seemingly good life situations, traffickers are able to pick out and victimize those that are vulnerable. This does not only happen in third world countries, or in inner city, low income housing. Human trafficking is apparent throughout the U.S., in all levels of socio-economic classes.

Atlanta sex trafficking is also changed because of the location socioeconomic standards. Child sex trafficking in Atlanta is one of the highest in the United States. “Atlanta was named by the FBI as one of 14 US cities with the highest rate of children used in prostitution (Covent House,2017).” This is high because of the change in environment that the airport did to the city.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a crime but instead being immature and an a coward, not living up to who they really are because of other’s opinions.

Selling yourself for profit might possibly be the only way for some people to survive or to provide for their family.

Traffickers mainly target females because they are excessively influenced by discrimination and poverty, elements that obstruct their approach to educational, employment opportunities and other resources.

Human trafficking can affect any person, anywhere at any time, yet leaves multiple groups at higher risk for human trafficking. Runaway/homeless youth, LGBT members, migrant workers, undocumented immigrants, racial/ethnic minorities, those who struggle with substance abuse, and others all tend to be at higher risk for becoming victims of human trafficking.
