Sex Trafficking Examples
Stop the Demand!!
The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000: Defines Human Trafficking as "the use of force, fraud, or coercion to compel or subject an individual into providing labor services or commercial sex acts." Any minor under the age of 18 years old involved in commercial sex acts is automatically deemed a victim of Human Trafficking. It is the fastest growing crime in the world with millions of woman and children at risk globally. It is hidden from the general public as it thrives in secret.
California is one of the three states in the nation where human trafficking is very prominent. However, it affects every state in the country.

This happens in every city, state and country around the globe and can happen to any child despite their demographics.
Dangers of Social Media
Pornography
Gaming
"If you've never been hated by your child,
then you have never been a parent" -Bette Davis
Porn is poison for the Eyes, the Brain, and the Soul!
One of the most significant problems facing teenagers today is the fact that many are not taught to be aware of the underlying threats posed by predators on the web.
Pornography has been described as a visual portrayal of sexual activity for sexual stimulation, usually through videos. Porn fuels sex trafficking, child pornography, exploitation, and sexual violence.
Predators are masters of manipulation and coercion, especially when they appear as their gaming avatar. Pedophiles use gaming as a way to gain access to young children.
Strength of Woman
"One women can change anything, but many women can change everything"
Today across the world 1.3 billion people live on less than one dollar a day. Sadly women are the poorest of that demographic, representing 70% who live in absolute poverty. That’s almost 1 billion women living on less than a dollar a day which means they live a life of grinding poverty with few opportunities. Providing awareness and education decreases a woman’s vulnerability to human trafficking, domestic violence, rape and disease. We believe passionately that economic opportunity holds the promise for real change in the world. When women have income they reinvest in themselves and their children's health, education and nutrition. This helps them build stronger families for generations to come.
Because I am a girl...
Being born a girl can be dangerous in all countries. Approximately one in three girls will be assaulted in their lifetime with an increased risk for abuse, domestic violence, child pornography, trafficking and rape. Women and children are violated, abused, and marginalized throughout the world. Girls involved in forced prostitution and pornography are increasingly getting younger and younger.
Children of forced prostitution around the world is escalating because of the huge profits generated by this dark business. Trafficking in women and children plagues the United States as much as it does in underdeveloped nations. Organized prostitution networks have migrated from metropolitan areas to small cities and suburbs. The demand is increasing because of easy access through the internet, social media, gangs and organized crime. 70-90% of Johns are married with no criminal record and are gainfully employed. 76% of transactions for sex with underage girls are via the internet.
Warrior Women
The United Nations status on women says that they perform two-thirds of the work, receive one-tenth of its income, and own less than one-hundredth of its property. Measures to improve the status of women around the world and their quality of life must be connected to various economic development and educational programs.
Women contribute a great deal to the family and economy globally. In many countries woman participate in agriculture and backbreaking labor.
They also cook, clean, collect water, firewood, in addition to other grueling tasks. Their responsibilities also include bringing up the children, taking care of the elderly, their husbands and animals. It’s the women who contribute the most in many societies so it is imperative that we protect and safeguard their rights.

Why Boys?
Sexual abuse of boys is a heinous crime that affects a large number of children worldwide both physically and psychologically. Boys can become victims of sexual abuse as young as toddlers and it can occur to older children as well. It is a crime that violates the victim's boundaries, trust, and autonomy. It is especially difficult to detect and often goes unreported due to shame, guilt, and a feeling of helplessness.
Child sexual abuse can manifest in many ways including inappropriate sexual comments, non-consensual touching, penetration, forced nudity, exhibitionism, or voyeurism. In addition to the physical effects such as pain and infections, child sexual abuse often leads to a range of psychological effects including fear, guilt, low self-esteem, shame, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. These effects may stay with the child for many years after the abuse and can impede healthy growth and development.
Given the severity the sexual abuse of boys it is critical that those who are at risk of becoming victims receive support and help. Such support can be provided by trained professionals such as child and family counselors, therapists, and doctors. Advocacy organizations dedicated to protecting and providing help to victims of sexual abuse are important. Parents also play a critical role in protecting their children by educating them on their rights by teaching them to stand up for themselves and making sure they are aware of any signs or symptoms of sexual abuse.
