Our Social Injustice: Human Sex Trafficking and How to Stop It.

Human sex trafficking has hit an all time high and is growing even as you read this article. Young children and young adults are being coerced or tricked at this very moment into selling their souls. Some do it knowingly, others do it as a result of deception. In every nation, this activity is occurring. Like prostitution and farming, it has been around for a long time. It has become too easy for society to turn it's back on this huge social atrocity until it hits home. Simply travel to any major city at night and many of the children you see on the streets are victims of human sex traffickers. These sex traffickers are good at what they do. They know their trade, and they know their commodity. 

With recent media attention, the ability of more people to travel, increased information on the web, and overall general public awareness, the problem of sex trafficking has come into the spotlight. People want to take action. Many are concerned and angry, but they don't know what to do about it. 

Most children and young adults who are sold into sex trafficking never intended to sell their bodies. Most often they were looking for hope - a way out of a bad economic situation. Someone came along and convinced them that life is better on the other side. Often the carrot that is dangled before them is the dream of working and earning money in Europe or North America. Some victims actually make it, but they are sold as sex slaves. Many never make it and are sold as sex slaves far away from home and no where near their intended destination. Dreams are shattered. Bodies are battered. Lives are smattered. Never to be the same again emotionally, physically, spiritually or mentally, victims of sex trafficking are mounting by the hour. Government corruption, ignorance, apathy and the lack of resources all contribute towards this international problem. Like cocaine and other drugs, there is demand for the "product" and therein lies the problem. 

Men, being the main customer, seek out sex for pleasure, escape, reward, dominance and thrill. They are trying to fill emptiness in their lives with activities that can only satisfy temporarily. How long does sex last? Just a few minutes. And then the cycle begins all over again. Often drugs are also involved because the sex doesn't satisfy. Why? Because it's not kosher or halal sex. It is stolen sex. And stolen sex isn't sweet. It turns sour afterwards with feelings of guilt and shame. And that's a lousy way to live. 

So will demand be curtailed? Probably not anytime soon unless there is an amazing awakening on the part of the main purchasers of sex. That awakening can happen. Find out more at this site which will give the solution in many different languages.  Inspired Sex Relief.
