A Short Biography Of Grace Robertson

Decent Essays
Grace Robertson did well in her introduction. She used many captivating details that caught my attention. One being, “The pimps will frequently continue to rape and beat the women in an effort to control them as well as force them to work ten to eighteen hour days in which the customers themselves may enforce abuse of their own. Sadly, the majority of these women will only live an additional two to four years after being trafficked (Yen 659-660)” (Robertson). This being said she also uses many different sources. This adds to her credibility because you do not just have to take her word for it; she uses other people’s word and perspectives to back her own perspective and opinion up. Grace uses sixteen different sources. Grace is also wrote a

    Sex trafficking is the modern form of slavery, as it is the selling of minors- mainly females- to consumers for sex, however it is done “under-the-table” so it goes unnoticed in the economy. Sex trafficking is considerably rape, because it is forced upon the recipient and if the daily quota is not reached, the traffickers act violently on the women to teach her a lesson. In the economy sex trafficking is around 1,611 cases in 2014. Sex trafficking should be eradicated from the economy, and it needs to have justice served to the “pimps” or the people who traffic the women. In perspective, humans are trafficked for one’s gain, even though the recipient is getting abused, and it is all for the love of money.…

    Analytical Review on Tricking and Tripping by Claire Sterk This article follows Claire Sterk on her journey into the world of prostitution and more specifically the females experience.

Although she doesn’t pursue that particular view in a holistic manner, she does include detailed and precise accounts due to her ethnographic method of fieldwork allows one to experience an…

    One of the topic we discussed in our women and gender studies class is prostitution, which happens with both sexes but is filled with mainly women. Prostitution can be forced or it can be chosen. The two articles I am going to use in my essay are; “Getting Away With Hating It: Consent in the Consent of Sex Work” by Charlotte Shane and “Prostitute 'Nancy' Shares Her Story: 'You Can Lose Your Life If You're Out Here'” by Rachel Cook. Both articles contain real life accounts from actual prostitutes and the way they see their profession. I am going to use both in my argument that prostitution cannot be just like any other job and therefore should not be made legal or be legal where it is.…

    There are girls as young as 11years old who are taken into this horrible trade as well. As these girls are taken they are beaten, raped, and forced to work for the pimps as prostitutes under threat that friends and family will be harmed if they try to escape. A spokeswoman from the Pacific Alliance to Stop Slavery, Kathryn Xian, is very familiar with the problem of human trafficking in Hawaii. She said that, “100,000 ads for Hawaii based prostitution services posted online each year and some of those services are local children from Hawaii. Within the next 10 years crime experts expect human trafficking to surpass drugs.” Now, if you take a moment, this is huge!…
