Sex Traficking: The Dangers Of Sex Trafficking

Sex trafficking is a vastly intricate, prosperous business throughout the globe. The sex trafficking industry is constructed off of the exploitation of one individual in order to satisfy another individual’s sexual desires. This satisfaction is carried out by the exploited individual, and in turn yields monetary gains for the individual(s) who trafficked him/her. The sex trafficking industry touches and influences every country on this planet.

The final reason traffickers target women is that women are high in demand.
