Atlanta Adult Entertainment: Human trafficking closer to home than many realize
Posted on April 7th, 2011 in Atlanta adult entertainment
The U.S. Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 defines sex trafficking as follows: “Sex trafficking in which a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age; or the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery. A victim need not be physically transported from one location to another in order for the crime to fall within these definitions.”
As uncomfortable a topic as this one may be, it’s a problem that will only fester if ignored. Illegal prostitution and trafficking exists, and until we’re willing to watch for the signs and call people and businesses out for their unethical actions, it can only get worse. Taking down this filthy global business that brings in $32 billion per year, according to mgalert.org, is worth the effort it will take.
