Tina Frundt was once a victim forced into the sex industry. She left her home with her dream man when she was fourteen. Her boyfriend introduced her to the sex trade and she was forced to have sex with a multitude of men. When Tina complained, her boyfriend made her feel guilty by saying things like, “How could you betray me like this after all I did for you?” He made her feel that involuntary sex was a way to pay for favors.…
America has always let in people from all around the world and we shouldn’t allow terrorist to scare us because that is what they want. I have seen that so far none of the refugees have done anything to the U.S. This shows that there is no big reason to not let them in and show we should be obligated to help them. America should always help those in need and be brave to help other when people are afraid to help them.…
The foods that we eat are intimately connected to human trafficking and slavery mainly because the people who harvest the fruits and vegetables we eat are often people who have been kidnapped to work as slaves. This practice is tolerated mainly because labor laws are outdated and go all the way back to the time of the Great Depression (Source 1). These labor laws are rarely ever enforced harshly. The tomato growing industries in South Florida is one of the largest benefactors that use enslaved workers to harvest their crop. Benefactors that use house slaves have them in deplorable conditions and beat them if they are too sick or weak to work.…
Despite the advancement of human and women’s rights over the past few centuries, children, specifically girls under the age of eighteen, are still pressured into marriages. As of 2018, there is no federal law that bans marriage involving at least one child, as individual states set their own age requirements. Until recently, Kentucky has had no minimum age for marriage up until January 2, 2018, when Republican Senator Julie Raque Adams from Louisville, Kentucky, with the co-sponsorship of Republican Senators Ralph Alvarado and Will Schroder and Democratic Senators Denise Harper Angel and Morgan McGarvey, sponsored Senate Bill 48 (SB 48), also known as the “Child Bride Bill”, to raise the legal age of marriage in the state. The Child Bride Bill…
The sole perpetrators of the underground web of sexual exploitation and abuse should be charged more harshly and brought to justice. A pimp is just another way to say a domestic sex trafficker (www.wgbh.org), as he is the “manager” of these women. He controls and sets them up on dates and gains profit from them. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, annually a pimp is able to make between $150,000 to $200,000 a year if he trafficks between 4 and 6 girls which is the average. With each pimp in the united states doing this, they generate about 9.5 billion a year.…
Accordingly, slavery ended in 1965, correct? I am here to tell you that it did not in fact end, and still continues to this day. In the book “Slavery and Human Trafficking” by Noah Berlatsky, he quotes “Slavery today is estimated by the International Labour Organization to be a $32 million billion a year business.” claiming that people make a lot of money making other people do their work for little or no pay. There are many ways, as bringing in illegals, and having them work for low pay but giving them the freedom to living in the United States and free from their corrupt country.…
Sex; it’s always been a hot topic. It’s always been the case that humans, in their base nature, are instinctive creatures and often act on animalistic desires, especially those of a sexual nature. As one so often hears, in the media and in the world around us; “sex sells”. The phrase itself came about through the corroboration of sexual acts, both paid or unpaid, private or public. In the world of today, sex is everywhere in the media, yet paid sex, or prostitution, is so often looked down upon.…
Demand for the commercial sexual services sustains and grows the sex trafficking industry; it ensures the high profitability of the industry that encompasses both prostitution and sex trafficking. Men who buy sex are the primary customers of the industry, they influence the desired type of females and locations for seeking services. Unfortunately, male demand has increased the demand for the number of clean girls or virgins, which makes children an increasing target for the sex trafficking industry (Yen, 2008). Men who engage in commercial sex have hostile aggressive personalities, and view women as disposable objects that are tossed aside when used (Farley, Golding, Matthews, Malamut & Jarret, 2015). To meet this demand, pimps obtain a greater number of vulnerable individuals, including children, whose bodies will be used in the commercial sex…
Not every child is fortunate to be raised by their own blood and by a loving family, like most have. Most children take their parents for granite and don’t realize what other children have to go through just to call someone their parent. Children who aren’t fortunate end up in the system and placed in foster care. Imagine the life in the shoes of a foster child; these children don’t only face the absence of their parent but suffer from placements of unfit homes. Within these unfit homes children suffer not only physically but emotionally.…

For example, Officer Daniel’s believes he has the right to order someone on the street to get in the squad car, but legally he does not. Officer Daniel’s is false imprisoning this person.…

If a victim is telling the truth and the police just can’t put the puzzle together, then the rapist is still out on the streets. Rape is something that no one should take lightly. “Rape can have profound and long-lasting psychological effects on victims. Survivors may feel intense shame, fear, and rage (Rape).”…
