Now that we understand the definition of sexual trafficking, sexual exploitation, and commercial sex and some of the statistics let’s discuss some information of children being victims in the situation.

Regardless of the circumstances commercial sex exploitation is still considered trafficking.

According to the book of Slavery Today, each year, more than two million children are exploited in the global commercial sex trade; many of these children are trapped into prostitution.

Back 10

Sexual exploitation is not the only thing that happens sex tourism also occurs.

Front 11

According to the book of Slavery Today, it also says that child-sex tourism involves people who travel from their own country—often a country where child sexual exploitation is illegal or culturally abhorrent—to another country where they engage in commercial sex acts with children.

Back 11

Child-sex tourism is a shameful assault on the dignity of children and a form of violent child abuse.

Front 12

The commercial sexual exploitation of children has devastating consequences for minors, who may include long-lasting physical and psychological trauma, and several of the tourists wanting to be with children are pediatrician, a retired Army sergeant, and a dentist, etc.

Back 12

The crime is typically fueled by weak law enforcement, corruption, the Internet, ease of travel, and poverty.

Front 13

Now I want to explain to you some of the things that occur when children or women are tricked into sex trafficking

Back 13

Front 14

FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, states that human trafficking is much more organized and violent.

Back 14

The women and young girls are sold into traffickers, locked up in a room for weeks to months, drugged, terrorized, and raped repeatedly.

Front 15

The captives are so afraid and intimidated that they rarely speak out against their traffickers, even when faced with an opportunity to escape.

Back 15

Traffickers who have more than one victim often have a bottom, who sits atop the hierarchy of prostitutes and the bottom collects the money from the girls, disciplines them, seduces unwilling youths into trafficking, and handles the day-to-day business for the trafficker.

Front 16

Traffickers us force, drugs, emotional tactics, and financial methods to control their victims.

Back 16

Traffickers often take their victims’ form of identity , such as birth certificates, passports, and driver’s licenses, which this re-insures that the victims will not be able to support themselves so they will have no other choice but to return to the trafficker.

Front 17

These abusive methods of control impact the victims both physically and mentally.

Back 17

In conclusion, we have learned what sexual trafficking is, also with some other terms such as commercial sex and sexual exploitation and lastly, some of the things that occur when children or women are tricked into sex trafficking.
