They’re more slaves in the world today than ever before in history, many in our own country, even in our own neighborhoods. Sex trafficking is when someone uses force, inducement, or fraud to create a commercial sex act. These acts include prostitution, porn and sexual performances. All in exchange for money.

With that study being such a long time ago, the amount could have raised greatly. Ludwig “tarzan” Fainberg, a convicted trafficker speaking for experienced slaves said, “you can buy a woman for 10,000 and make your money back in a week if she’s pretty and young. Then everything else is profit.” They could be sold for more because their trafficker has trained them and has broken their spirit.
According to WBTV, “North Carolina ranks the 8th most likely state in the US were human trafficking take place”. Traffickers not only find victims through social medias, bars, and clubs, they find them in our neighborhoods. That alone makes one think about their family and loved ones, but some family’s will often sell their children and other family members into this slavery.
Sex trafficking is one of the biggest human rights challenges of this century, that’s why it’s a problem today. This can happen to anyone, including ones we know and love. On average, two children are sold every minute and the next one may be closer
