Recommended: Sex trafficking

The topic I chose to discuss was about sex trafficking. I learned that women are more likely to be involved with sex trafficking than men are. Specifically, that Native Americans experience a high percentage in this social issue. One reason that they experience such a high rate is because of the sovereign territory that they live in can cause jurisdictional issues making it nearly impossible for the Native women to be protected. Precisely, they face being left out of the Violence Against Women Act where it aims to protect women of the U.S. Unfortunately, Native American women and other affiliations pose a problem of not getting any type of justice. Overall, the social issue is that not all women are being protected as they should be and that

  • Very Young Girls Documentary

    The documentary, Very Young Girls, was heart-wrenching, informative, and very hard to relate to these young girls. These girls are daughters, sisters, friends, family, and some are already mothers. However, these young women are treated and seen as criminals, not as victims. Prostitution and human-trafficking happens everywhere and every day, including in the United States. People have this perspective that human trafficking only happens in foreign countries. There’s a negative stigma on prostitution because we, as a society, only pay attention to the sexual acts and services that these women provide. Young women’s dignity, adolescences, and respect is taken away from them. Yet, this was not their choice, but they do not have positive influences

    Most American citizens, if asked, would say that sex trafficking is an issue that happens on foreign land, not here in America. Many American’s believe that slavery was abolished years ago, but modern day slavery is happening in this country and internationally every day right under our noses. The startling fact, is that sex trafficking happens within our borders, and in our very own towns at a much higher rate than anyone would imagine. Sex trafficking occurs when people, usually women and children, are coerced into the sex trade against their will (TVPA, 2013). Many traffickers target weak, vulnerable people who come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and have a history of abuse; however anyone can potentially be trafficked (The Polaris Project, 2014). Many traffickers lure their prey in with false promises of love, money, or security, and then the victims are instead faced with lies, debt bondage, violence, physical and mental manipulation, and abuse (The Polaris Project, 2014). In today’s world many of our social issues, such as human trafficking, are made worse by the general lack of education, resources, and information available to the public and to victims. I propose a policy that will help 180 Turning Lives Around provide comprehensive and much needed services to victims of sex trafficking, as well as educate the community and law enforcement officials in order to help end modern day slavery in America.

  • Prostitution In The American West

    941 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the middle of the nineteenth century, America experienced a boom of expansion and development. Miners in pursuit of gold and riches raced across the country, establishing mining and frontier towns along the way. A lot of these towns or settlements had high populations of men, like miners and army garrisons. With a rise in these developments, the West also experienced a rise in prostitution. Prostitution is defined as the contractual relation in which sexual services are exchanged for a sum of money (Davis, 1937). Prostitution in the early West was a cutthroat business. Predominantly a female occupation, many women, including those from overseas, were often forced into the lifestyle and found it very difficult to leave the profession (Oharazeki, 2013). Due to the skewed gender role expectations in the nineteenth century American West, female prostitutes often experienced abusive masters, pitiful wages, and an overarching poor quality of life.
