RE: Little Barbies: Sex Trafficking Of Young Girls Is America's Dirty Little Secret

in #socialissues6 years ago

Yes, it's horrible beyond words, but note that boys make up 50 percent of the sex trafficked victims in the U.S., yet the narrative is always "girls are hurting" and the efforts are predominantly focused on girls. Women make up buyers and traffickers as well: 40 percent of boys and 11 percent of the girls surveyed said that they had served a female client, with 13 percent of the boys exclusively serving female clients (http://www.alternet.org/civil-liberties/10-surprising-and-counterintuitive-facts-about-child-sex-trafficking).
