Sex Trafficking
Sex Slavery, the organized coercion of unwilling people into different sexual practices. Is this a tough topic to discuss for you? It sure is for me. We always watch so many movies that are about sex trafficking such as "Taken", and yet never really acknowledge the fact that this happens in real life everyday. In the article Ensalved in America: Sex Trafficking in the United States, Tina Frundt states "Young people use "pimp" in everyday conversation: "my ride is pimped out," "your clothes are pimping." They do not understand the reality behind the term." This is a harsh fct because we use this slang vocabulary just because it seems cool, and it's in style. Do we ever realize that we use the word "pimp" so much it basically loses it's meaning? It no longer means a man who controls prostitutes and arranges clients for them, taking their earnings in return. Nowadays the word has become so common to our everyday speaking that most people use it to define when something is extremely nice or fancy. She's trafficking is slavery because it's not like girls choose to be prostitutes, they don't choose to give a pimp their earnings either, decisions are always made for them. Rape and child sexual abuse are two other things that come along with this. Rape occurs all the time, girls are forced to sleep with men against their own will. Child sexual abuse is when these pimps force girls who are underage, even if they're 6 year olds to be raped by older men. Pimp is not a word we should use so easily, it has a terrible and sick meaning.
