An Alarming Epidemic: Human Trafficking Part 1 |
|
Prostitution, pornography, and working in strip clubs or massage
parlors are all considered to be different forms of sex trafficking.
The statistics are staggering: 80% of victims are women, 50% are
children (average age: 14). Victims face drugging, rape, forced
abortions and sex up to 20 times a day. The consequences to their
minds, bodies and spirits are dire-- yet sex trafficking is the fastest
growing crime in the world. In Part 1, Charity Marquis from NightLight
USA and Sharon Ngai from Strike LA shed more light into this disturbing
epidemic.
