Sex Trafficking
There are 4.5 million victims of sex trafficking across the world, according to the International Labour Office. Victims and their families can be misled about employment opportunities and the nature of the sex trade in which they are working. In Thailand, many poor families in rural regions are offered from $200 to $2000 for their daughter to be engaged in contractual work in restaurants or factories. When these girls arrive in the city, they are sold into brothels and forced to work for sex. A brothel owner may earn up to $80,000 each month if 20 sex slaves have sex with 14 people per day. In the US, sex traffickers usually prey upon people with a history of mental, physical and sexual abuse. Sex trafficking may occur in residential brothels, online escort services, hostess clubs, massage businesses, strip clubs and street prostitution. The Internet has been found to be the major strategic tool used to recruit sex trafficking victims. Personal ads on Craigslist, chat rooms, pornography sites and massage business websites may be used to post advertisements for sex related work. Online predators may seek out vulnerable girls and boys and lure them into the sex industry with misleading marketing information.
