Sex Trafficking Summary
Overall, I learned many disturbing things about human trafficking, especially sex trafficking. This portion of the black market is worth $150 billion globally, with 20.9 million victims. This was very eye opening to me, considering it hits so close to home. Atlanta's industry is worth $290 million, showing how many people are affected by this form of trafficking. I even read about a girl who was sold to almost 40 men in one day, being only 17 years old. All of these victims are living in fear of being prosecuted, so they won't get help. This is very frightening to me, because it could affect anyone around me. This topic makes me wonder if I've ever seen or met someone who has been affected. This topic matters to me, because awareness is the first step to healing and stopping this huge global issue.
