Victims of sex trafficking are mentally and physically affected by traffickers also known as madams or pimps, “pimps use coercion, threats, and physical harm” (Lopez 1). Victims experience “harsh physical impacts”(“Impact”1), additionally madams or pimps threaten to hurt friends or family members of the victim (Lopez 1).

This dance takes the story line of the “inspired relationship between a prostitute and her pimp” as stated from the Tango presentation. I say this because of the age difference of the two dancers and the way the elder gentleman has more of a controlling look to his face. The movements seem to be led by the man in this dance, as the woman…

genitals on customers and asking if they would like to have oral and/or physical sex on or off the property. Some dancers also ask if the customers would like to purchase drugs (Kevin Litten ). Other illegal acts happen on the streets, a place where Pimps and human traffickers can hide in plain sight.

process. Jared Rayborn states in Willamette Law Review that “the laws criminalizing prostitution are designed to protect society’s moral sanctity, regardless of any individual choice or will” (Rayborn 126). Rayborn flat out says there that law isn’t an individual choice but the moral code which the government is making for the United States and for the people. Our laws have moral theory behind them in order to protect others. In the case of murder, it is morally wrong because it diminishes of…
