Stomach Wrenching Exploitation
Sexual slavery is an
alarmingly inevitable challenge that the U.S. Foreign Service will face for
years to come. Every day thousands of women and girls as young as five, are
trafficked for the purpose of sexual slavery; and a staggering half million
girls annually. These victimized women are brought into this new terrifying,
self-deteriorating living hell in many different ways, by heartless
money-hungry sociopaths. Some of the poor souls are lured into trafficking by
fraudulent job offers in modeling, acting, nannying, and offers of citizenship.
Some girls actually have legitimate job offers; however, they still come with
ties that bind, most of these women are just trying to escape their doomed
lives of poverty. Even a large number of these girls are traumatically sold by
their own parents to support the rest of the family. This sinister crime
happens in places around the world including the U.S
The life that these unfortunate women are forced to live is unbelievably dehumanizing, and not only emotionally, but also extremely physically deteriorating as well. Besides the disturbing fact that these girls are raped frequently, they are also drugged and fed antibiotics and pills that induce abortion as if they are candy. To paint a better picture of how abused these women actually are you must know that as few as 10 can be "on duty" to service thousands of men, when they are done with the women who are suffering from malnutrition and illness, they throw them away by abandoning or killing them.
Because of countries plagued with STD’s and AID’s, virgins are the most expensive and sought after. Some men in the Cambodian culture believe virgins bring luck. That means young girls are primary targets. A sad but common process that these innocent souls have to go through is having their hymen re-sewn so they can repeatedly be sold as virgins.
I wonder what kind of sick people do this dishonorable crime, and why on earth would they do these things to another human being? The answer is a bit unclear, but many offenders are businessmen of wealthy corporations that want their employees to be "satisfied". The corporations send their men on what would resemble a spa retreat in a very twisted way. Another common purchaser of these girls is simply rich men. But still the question is, " Why are these punishable acts committed and how does it go so unnoticed?"
I honestly don’t believe a mentally stable person could commit such a crime. In fact it must take a power hungry psycho that has the need of self-gratification by purchasing such an unobtainable item, a human.
Unfortunately these despicable men have a lot more help than one would anticipate. In fact they have their own army. Massive amounts of money are thrown around to make sure people "look the other way". Taxi drivers, hotel workers, airport security, landlords, and corrupt government officials are always trying to bring in as much cash as possible, even if their tolerance for this illegal behavior costs others their lives
With as many girls as this happens to it has definitely affected many American families in various ways. Although there are many different organizations that help these innocent victims, there is always a need for more help, and I think that the U.S. Foreign Service could play a big part in insuring that women and children have a burden free life by providing more education advocacy, protection, and prevention of this off putting crime. if there was more of a way to educate people especially children, on the damages of sexual slavery it is more likely that the world would see a decrease in emerging rapists and sellers. Another impact the Foreign Service could make is educating and helping the families that sell or "loan out" their daughters for this disgusting purpose. Then they can begin to realize how harrowing and mentally perplexing these events are for their own flesh and blood. If no further action is taken then, families will continue to surpass the seriousness of their actions. With the help of education, advocacy and the granting of asylum to the U.S., many countries and more importantly, victims can change the upsetting pattern that continues to perish many lives.
One way to cripple and possibly halt sex trafficking, is by drastically worsening the punishment. This could mean death penalty for any one involved or associating themselves in this viscous behavior. in addition to that seemingly powerful solution a less extreme solution could be having special agents "play the victim" and then find the rapists and their accomplices that way.
The women and children that have no choice but to be sold, need an intervention of some sort. Without help they are birds with wounded wings; and with sex trafficking being an issue with such devastating consequences, it would be morally wrong and selfish for America to sit back and do nothing. With women and children being globally less powerful than men they need any extra help they can get to gain equality, which I think would play a big part in stopping or at least slowing down this hard-to-stomach exploitation. Although sexual slavery will be an obvious challenge for the U.S. Foreign Service to put an end to, any, even small amounts of help and support given to families, women, and children that have or could be potential targets would make a very important and needed impact on many lives.
