Sex Trafficking Definition And Facts

By Jan S. Travis


People and governments all over the world are concerned about the problems caused by sex trafficking. It is a crime, a form of slavery that forces an individual to engage in prostitution. This illegal activity usually victimizes minors and young women through coercion, intimidation, violence and other deceptive means. It has risen to unimaginable proportions that it has become a major concern of law enforcement agencies and human rights advocates such as Justice61.

Because sex trafficking can appear in many forms, many women and young girls fall prey to its schemes. Most often, a sex trafficker can pose as someone with good intentions - only to reveal his true motives when it's too late. This illegal activity is always on the lookout for individuals who are distressed, women who need financial help and those who are desperately in need of a job. A trafficker can most often win the trust of a poverty stricken family by offering its members with shelter and providing their basic necessities. But it would be too late for them to realize that they have in fact been buried in debt which can only be repaid through the consent of a family member to engage in sex with the trafficker and his customers. It's an issue that human rights advocates want to resolve. You too can help stop human trafficking by simply donating part of your resources for this cause.

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.
