Sex Trafficking

Did you know President Trump unlike other Presidents has taken action to assist in the prosecution of these crimes? How strange the media never mentions this. Sex trafficking isn’t just an issue of girls on the street; it also involves girls in school living with their parents, even women in college. It is a widespread issue in our society, which receives little attention.

Resources to help these girls are minimal; schools are not focused on recognizing these girls in trouble, parents unaware of the problem. Sex trafficking or human slavery has been estimated to be a $32 billion-a-year global industry. It doesn’t discriminate on color, class or age, all girls are at risk and the Internet is a major source of traffickers finding these girls.

We need to contact our local school, law enforcement officials and ask if they have programs and resources to uncover and address this issue, if not, why not. We need to contact our local media and ask why they do not draw attention to this issue. Contact our local politicians and ask what they are doing to address this issue.

We need to cast a light on this issue and assure if it exists in our community action is being taken to address it, we owe that much to these young girls, to the society we live in and ourselves.
