Disgusted? Ashamed? Helpless? this is what it was like for a girl trapped in sex slavery. What is sex slavery? “[S]ex trafficking and mass rape should no more be seen as women's issues than slavery was a black issue or the Holocaust was a Jewish issue. These are all humanitarian concerns, transcending any one race, gender, or creed.” (Nicholas D, 2013) Sex slavery is the exploitation of women, young children and teeenagers. Sex slavery is equivalent to a virus, it spreads and contaminates innocent people. Not one single innocent child or woman chooses to be emotionally or physically harassed. Sex slavery is not beautiful, it is not pleasurable and is certainly not legal. Women, children and teenagers are being forced into the industry of sex slavery, for purposes such as pleasuring filthy men through forced and unconsented sex work. sex slavery is characterized by the abuse and rape of a human being in exchange for goods or

    Industrialization was in full force throughout most of the United States and the invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1793 allowed the “peculiar institution” to become the most profitable industry in the world. The cotton gin streamlined the laborious task of cotton sorting. Cotton soon surpassed tobacco as the United States’ most valued export. Cotton processed in the south was processed in textile plants in New England, which was bolstered by Elias Howe’s invention of the first, cross-stitching sewing machine in 1846. Slaves were insured by northern insurance companies and clothed with “slave cloth” from textile mills.…

    Ask an average teenager what they know about sexual assault, and they may refer to “locker room talk” or dramatized rape scenes in movies. It is misconceptions like these that can drive a victim further into seclusion, because their situation is so unknown to the average person, leaving them in solitary. In the United States alone, one in five women and one in seventy-five men will be raped at some point throughout their lifetime, yet only 37% of these incidents are reported to authorities (Department of Justice 1). There are many factors that contribute to this, but one major reason this occurs is that victims feel as if they are on one's own and lack someone to assist them in their time of need.…

    Power as a Motive, Racism as a Tool: the Institutionalization of Slavery The discovery and exploitation of the Americas catalysed a transition from a feudalistic to a pre-capitalist to capitalist economy in Europe. The subsequent social upheaval in the 17th and 18th centuries granted opportunities to entrepreneurs, who utilised the resources of the New World to gain influence, creating a new class of wealthy planters determined to continue making money. Although some historians argue that racism caused the adoption of race-based slavery in the Chesapeake, the desire of slave owners to keep and expand their power proved a greater factor. In creating a slave society, Europeans were motivated by profit incentives and the reduction of class conflict;…

    Jewish women suffered during the Holocaust as victims of anti-semitism, as well as victims of their own biology. We will discuss specifically the exploitation of Jewish women during World War II, not to minimize the pain of Jewish men and other victims, but to recognize the heroinism of Jewish women who survived during the Holocaust. To understand the enormity of the Holocaust and how it affected Jewish women, it is important to examine their lives before Hitler 's presidency, compare their lives to those of German women, discuss the abuse they endured, and consider the skills needed to survive in concentration camps. In 1933, there were 500,000 people registered as Jews in Germany, excluding those who had officially left Judaism, or roughly…

    Additionally, forced sexual activity including rape crimes and brothels, qualified as crimes against humanity. In his essay reporter Lichtblau claims that many brothels were created and filled with sex slaves during the Holocaust (67). The brothels were concentration camps where women were being forced to have intimate relationships with the military personnel (69). The reporter also addresses the unexpected, horrific results of the research conducted by the lead editors on the project Geoffrey Megargee, and co-researcher Martin Dean. Lichtblau indicates that the number of concentration camps, ghettos, slave labor camps, and prisoner-of-war camps were considerably higher than they expected.…

    In the seventy years since the end of the Holocaust, historians have been attempting to document the tragic events that happened during this particularly morbid era. More recently, questions concerning the sexual assault and treatment of women in the Holocaust have become more of a topic of discussion. Sexual assault is defined, by the United States Department of Justice, as “any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient”. According to the United States Department of Justice, the definition of sexual assault also includes forced sexual intercourse, forcible sodomy, incest, fondling, and attempted rape. Records of sexual assault or rape towards women during the Holocaust have not been recorded…

    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.…

    In 2000, trafficking was codified in the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress, and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, emphasizing that trafficking does not describe a single act but rather refers to the forceful recruitment, transportation, and control of people into sexual exploitation, forced labor, slavery, or organ removal. However, there is no international consensus regarding the definition of exploitation. This issue generally warrants legal intervention from the state and public outcry from the international community. For the most part, throughout the 20th century, the international community remained silent regarding human trafficking. During the 1970s and 1980s, the international women’s movement sprung up and reintroduced sexual slavery back into the public agenda.…

    The rights of slaves, and the moral and legal status of slavery in general was a pressing issue in the American justice system and in the court of popular opinion for many years during our nations founding. In Dred Scott v. Sanford, the court decided that slaves are in fact property and do not have any legal rights under the U.S. Constitution. Yet, just two years later in United States v. Amy, the court ruled that Amy was in fact a “person” since she was a living, breathing human being. These two cases are ultimately contradictory because Dred Scott made it clear that the laws and protections do not apply to slaves since they are not “persons” under the law, but the prosecutor in Amy said that she was a “person” under the law. The effect of…

    Back in the time of slavery, slaves weren't considered people, they were known as being property. They were sold, bought, and most of them were mistreated. Both men and women that were sold into slavery had difficulty with relationships and both usually ended up separated from their families. As you can see, men and women suffered horribly during this foul time in our history, especially the women. The story, “Incidents in the life of a Slave girl”, illustrates how the treatment of women was much worse than it was for men.…

    In life society has pronounced men as a form of dominance, so who endured the most? You all have learned and studied slavery, and the lives of Africans were full of tragedy and misfortune. In comparison to men, enslaved women were treated worse; women were used for labor, faced gender discrimination, and used as sex toys. Slavery was no foreign matter to Africans, but the brutality of Trans-Atlantic slave trade and colonial slavery was highly introduced in schools. These human beings were sent against their will to “masters”, considered property.…

After doing 10 minutes of walking I finally came across a little run down house with two cars parked outside. I walked in but I didn’t want to be seen so I quickly stood behind the wall where there were 5 tall, fat men in the next room sat at a table playing with cards, the smell of alcohol took over the house, I overheard them…
