STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING AT ALL COSTS!

In 2009, a University of Pennsylvania study estimated nearly 300,000 youth in the United States were at risk of being sexually exploited for commercial uses - "most of them runaways or thrown-aways," said Ernie Allen, president of the NCMEC.Almost 300,000 American children are at risk for trafficking into the sex industry. (U.S. Dept of State)There are girls as young as 5 and 6 years old in the U.S. that are forced to do sexual acts for economic gain by their pimp (USDOJ)Sex trafficking has become a multi-billion dollar business, and is the third most profitable business for organized crime, after drugs and arms dealing. Due to its very nature, the exact statistics of sex trafficking are extremely hard to estimate.Anywhere from 700,000 and 4 million women and children are trafficked for the purpose of sex and sexual exploitation every year. 

Every thirty seconds, another person becomes a victim. Women are lured by traffickers with false promises of low-skilled jobs such as domestic help, models, and other jobs, and are then forced to work as prostitutes. 

Traffickers tell the girls that they need to work off debts of thousands of dollars or more. They then are forced to sleep with upwards of twenty men a day at twenty dollars a piece. Out of this the women themselves earn only $3, which goes towards paying off their %u201Cdebts.%u201D Physical violence, rape, retention of legal documents, as well as the girls%u2019 fear of deportation and corrupt police effectively enable traffickers to enslave these women. 

The men these women are forced to sleep with don%u2019t use condoms, affectively increasing the rate of STD%u2019s, including AIDS, especially in countries where sleeping with a virgin is considered a cure for AIDS. If one of these girls happens to become pregnant, they are forced to undergo abortions, the price of which is then added onto their %u201Cdebts%u201D. The traffickers tell the girls that they have to pay for room, board, the amount it cost to get them into the country, and various other things. 

They are denied basic medical care and are subjected to horrific human rights violations. The age of the average trafficking victim is becoming younger and younger. Girls as young as 7 are being trafficked for child prostitution. The average age of prostitutes being trafficked into certain Asian brothels is 14. In South America, children as young as 12 are being kidnapped off the streets and then trafficked into Mexico. In the United States, trafficking has started to become a large problem.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snfZdSsYTB4&feature=player_embedded Check for the stats here PLease do something, even if it is saying a simple prayer to donating to these sites that are trying to fight this. 
PLease this is something most dear to me and many others. If you are finding yourself at a lose of words at the horrific actions that are being done to these woman and children, please dont stop yourself from rising up. Become the voice of truth, righteousness and justice. The people are the strongest force, not the government, and go forward and make a stand!
