Trafficking

I have never given so much thought to the sex slave trafficking issue. The sex salve trafficking problem has been going on for so many years. Sadly to say but I have never paid much attention to this problem that we are dealing with today. After reading the handout and the book called “The Road Lost Innocence” by Somaly Mam, the handout and book have not only informed me with more information about the sex trafficking situation but has also made me feel heartbroken.  Just the thought of hearing that these girls at such a young age have to lose their virginity to grown men is very disturbing.  The outrageous thing is that these girls have really no freedom and cannot speak up for themselves and say no to these men. This whole problem is ridiculous it makes me wonder if we really ever got rid of slavery.  While reading about this issue I felt like it kept on getting worst, it was extremely depressing to read that some of these young girls’ parents allow something this horrible to happen to their daughters just for money. I understand that they are living in a awful community but way would one give up their own daughters life just to get more money, I guess for some of us money can buy happiness.  My major thought after reading about this whole sex trafficking topic, was how do these men and family members that allow this issue to happened feel? , because some of these girls die or never make it back home and are forced to be a prostituted.  I’m very glad that I  have decided to take this history class do to the fact that we well be helping these enceinte girls have a much better future. This problem has made me really open my eyes, it has made me notice that my life is not as bad as I once that it was. These girls have not only made me extremely sad but have inspired me because they have been through so much and they are still fighting and hoping for a much better life.
