Child Sexual Exploitation: "My body was exchanged as a commodity."

[@acceptingWhatIS]

Brave women - awareness is important - thank you 🙏

These predators are so terrifying. I'm proud of these women for speaking about their experiences, people need to know the reality of prostitution.

[@therealdeal3672]

Brilliant video. Information is so important. Having unwillingly, "participated in transactional sex work," should be seen for what it is, human slavery. Cops have to get an understanding of these horrible crimes. Part of why we need complete law enforcement overhaul. Society needs to get a better understanding of what to watch out for. People need training to recognize the victims, if they encounter them. When I drove for Uber, to or from fancy hotels, I believe that I drove 3 or 4 women, who I, retrospectively assessed as possible trafficking victims. It bothers me that I didn't know how to react, the one time that I thought I possibly recognized that a girl who I was dropping off at a high end hotel, might have been a trafficking victim. When I tried to make small talk, I realized that she was probably very high, and also, very anxious. She was dolled up, but incapable of being conversant. Or, too scared. This haunts me. I think I should have asked more questions. Maybe someone was listening, on her phone? What can drivers/citizens do to learn to recognize and help trafficked women? 💕

[@frankiefranfraser]

What an amazing question! I suppose you could see what room she goes to in the hotel and then just call the police instantly and explain your concerns. It's better to be safe than sorry. I read somewhere that a neighbor heard screams next door and called the police. It was a spider. The police was happy even though a false alarm. It feels weird at first... But that is what the cops are for 😊💖 Thank you for your concern and that incredible question 😊💖

Thanks for having the courage to share this. It is very educational and enlightening. I am guessing that healing is a life-long process and in the meantime you can use the experience of all that pain to help others. You guys are heroes. Never give up!

Beautiful brave ladies. Thanks so much for speaking out. I nearly got trafficked myself on a school trip, broad daylight crowded street. I can't help wonder what are the roost causes of this, why it is so bad in USA (inc all the missing and murdered women). Has the USA considered things like the Swedish model that really cracked down on the perps and men who buy sex, and made it a human right for women NOT to be trafficked, with various support services. I gather many traffickers actually gave up on Sweden since,. American women in some ways are quite empowered etc. Thx.

[@aprilsunnyday]

[@mohsinraza3712]

It was very helpfull video for those who r still trying to figure out how to come out of such situation

[@cynthialangley7338]

This is slavery pure and simple. Slavery is outlawed in our country and these exploiters, including the johns, need to be prosecuted as slavers.

[@moreofawave]

What a nightmare...ALL OF IT. Jesus Christ, help us in this sick world. Too many humans choosing to be demons. God help these women heal. Give them solace and strength.

[@Abby-qy2mh]

You 3 ladies are so brave and strong! ❤

[@jmallett6081]

This is the problem. The industry that makes the most money is human trafficking. The laws protect the perpetrators more than the women and children who are exploited, and the cops don't handle the situation well, nor does the system..

[@simplerway489]

Tragic, but lovely human being.

[@cindysandbeck2447]

[@jeffarchibald3837]

Exploiter is too nice a word. How about monster.

[@conservativemovement]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jotr.9786]

CSE "So how old were you when you meet your exploiter?" "19" ... Where the f*ck in the wolrd is 19 years old is considered a child?

[@lalani888ARTblue]

Being exploited at 'any' age is unacceptable. It happens globally. It's not about focusing on the age. Rather focus on the sick psychos that choose to harm, exploit, rape and profit from a person's vulnerability. This ignorance is never acceptable. It's pure evil.

[@frankiefranfraser]

So her age makes it ok for evil perpetrators to target? And 4 years earlier its only then not ok to target? Some people's views on women and sex is very strange

[@Sir20hz]

My turn. Good job.

[@Cayuse2009]

How come an adult that makes bad life decisions is called a "Victim" and not just someone making poor decisions? A minor could be considered a "Victim", but not an adult, in my opinion.

[@miamoore1666]

First 19 isn’t a child, second, if you didn’t want to do something common sense should tell you to get help. Sometimes, I’m not saying in your situation, but sometimes when we make Bad mistakes or didn’t listen to that little voice in our head to not do something we want to be a victim rather than admit mistake. Every single woman in the sex industry is not forced, but everyone you talk to says I’m a victim. She said the key words I wasn’t doing well in school, I wanted out, etc… instead of doing the hard thing and doing better she chose an easier way out She Thought. These are mistakes. He didn’t take her away to a town she knew nobody SHE WENT with him that’s on her. At 16 you know right from wrong.

[@timritenour8900]

You were old enough to know better

[@esmenaicker1308]

No. You should have spoken out the very first time. Blame yourself

[@openbob6656]

tell me you love black men without telling me you love black men

[@stopbugginandtakearedpill2957]

Tell me you're an POS without telling me... 🖕👍👏🖕

[@Onlylizaa]

[@kitten_milk3557]
