End Sex Trafficking

Sitting around an open fire, the day before Christmas, as a family is a time one will remember forever. I'm sure the reader reading this can relate to these warm times where everyone is welcome and is seen together. However, imagine one of your family members or good friends suddenly disappears and can no longer be apart of this wonderful event. Now, with that thought in your head, imagine if you found out the were kidnapped and were under force, being prostituted. This the sex trafficking system that is occurring every day, for as long as written times. Back through the centuries, the use of women and children for prostitution reasons have occurred and been ignored up until the 20th century. In 1902, the International Agreement for the Suppression of the White Slave Traffic was created to prevent women and girls from immoral practices. However, this terrible business continued on. Soon, other countries started to join this agreement, and in 1910 the United States joined by passing the Mann Act which prevented the transportation of women and girls across states for prostitution or other immoral purposes. Although this Act has been passed, the sex-trafficking business continued to run and grow throughout the century. In 1949, the United Nations created the Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others, where 49 countries around the world soon followed. Although all the strives to end the business of kidnapping and selling girls for prostitution purposes, it still continues to grow and live today.

The idea of using women and children is absurd and should be demolished immediately. It not only hurts society throughout the spread of disease, and the government's position in power, but it is inhumane as human beings to take part in these evil practices. Sexual transmitted diseases or STD's, is a disease that hurts the body physically and mentally that occurs through human sexual behaviors. The act of using women and children as "cattle" for paying "customers" only spreads diseases more and more. If a woman wasn't in the sex-trafficking business, she wouldn't be forced through drugs and torture to take part in these sexual behaviors. Since they are forced, they can't choose who they are going to have sex with, and are used every day to have sex with numerous amount of men. Lets say a women is held hostage for a year. She is involved in sexual abuse, lets say, 5 times a week, and has sex with two people a day. That is ten people a week, and 520 people a year! Now say she has acquired a disease the day before she starts another year, and than stays in the business for that whole year. That is 520 other people who are affected by her disease. Now their is approximately 12.5 to 27 million people being enslaved and beaten to have sex. That just shows how quick and many people will be infected by diseases.
