"Women and children are bought every 30 seconds around the world."
A major part of human trafficking is sex trafficking. Sex trafficking is the recruitment, transportation or obtaining of a person for the purpose of commercial sex. The average age of entry for girls is between 12 and 14. They are stuck until they contract aides, escape or die.
The victims are usually girls that are lost and don't have the love they deserve from home. A pimp will tell the girl that he will treat her to a better life, but all of this is a lie.
The girl is taken, addicted to drugs, sold to men and used for sex. The pimp will make thousands off of the girl, and she will never see a cent of this money.
Over 20 million women and girls are currently in the sex trade. They were tricked into this life and now they have no way out. This is another part of the human trafficking industry that is hidden from the public eye. More people need to be informed of this industry so we can help these victims.
The realness of this industry doesn't truly sink in until you read or listen to the victims. Below is a video of the victims of the sex trade.
