Trafficking Happens In Open Places

Decent Essays
Trafficking is such a sexul abusive habit. There is physical harm done and if it’s not physical, it’s mental and emotional abuse. It takes awhile for these young ladies to recover from such a tragedy. They need support groups and therapy, but that's only if the victims are found and saved from this inhumane act.
People do not notices trafficking occurring, “most trafficking happens in open places” (kokou). Since trafficking happens out in the open the adolescents are afraid to make a scene.

They also have access to more people in large public places.
