Sex trafficking it's a big issue across the country because it's being seen most in every part of poverty communities and the government doesn't do nothing about it even though it's a crime. According to equality it says Sex trafficking whether within a country or across national borders violates basic human rights, including the rights to bodily integrity, equality, dignity, health, security, and freedom from violence and torture. Key international human rights treaties, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), consider sex trafficking a form of sex discrimination and a human rights violation meaning that it's an issue that affects everyone around us because it's on human rights as human we should be treated equally. Child labor it's a good example of this issue because at the age of 13 and above they are being kidnapped since mostly everyone at the age are virgins and virgins are worth more. Here's a story of a young lady sharing her experiences of how life was for her after her husband made her prostitute for money. Even though her husband made her do that it was against her human rights since she didn't want to no more. During these cases people are threatened for them to keep going with it. Vicky F., a young woman from Mexico, came to the United States with her husband, Jorge. They left their young son back home with Jorge's mother. Jorge convinced Vicky to work as a prostitute so that they could save money to build a house back home. He kept all the money she earned and sent it directly back home to his family. Vicky was not allowed to keep a dime. He told her that if she did not work as a prostitute, she would never be allowed to see their son again. He threatened her with physical abuse and hit her when she disobeyed him. Vicky's mother grew suspicious after she did not hear from her daughter for an extended period and contacted the authorities. She had a telephone number for Vicky that was traced to an apartment in Queens. Law enforcement investigated and located Vicky, who broke down and told them what Jorge was forcing her to do. They helped Vicky find a place to stay and referred her for counseling. Vicky cooperated with the prosecution in the case against Jorge. He received one of the longest sentences for human trafficking to date. Vicky now has a T visa and has been reunited with her son. Another life story from a young lady who had to pay a debt on her coming to the United States and being a better person. When people come to the United States is to achieve that American Dream they hear about be more successful in life but in reality it's not like that many people suffer worse than what they used to live with. They get brainwashed on how it's gonna be better. Alena P. was a dancer and performer in Russia. She came to the United States on a visa for cultural performances to work in a theater troupe. When she arrived, she was taken to an apartment in New Jersey and told that she was to work as a stripper to pay off the debt that she accrued from coming to the United States. She was physically threatened and her passport was confiscated. She worked for almost a year, only receiving about $50 a week that she had to use to pay for meals. Every day, her traffickers picked her up from an apartment, which she shared with other young women who also worked at the strip club, and brought her directly to work. She was not told how long she had to work there to pay off her debt. The total amount that she owed was not clear either because her traffickers deducted rent, transportation, and costume fees from her income.
One day, one of her roommates ran away, escaping from the apartment through a window, and went to the police. Her traffickers were arrested. Alena cooperated in the investigation of her traffickers, who were successfully prosecuted. She now has a T visa, is married, and is the mother of a young son.
Sex trafficking can be solved at the global level by everyone helping out little by little. Speaking the truth of what really sex trafficking is doing to innocent people. But also if the government wants the crime to stop is them who at times they pay for a service instead of stopping it they go on with it. The word needs to spread out so they can catch the people who are trafficking people.
