Beschrijving

Sex trafficking is a crime when women, men and/or children are forcefully involved in commercial sex acts. In the United States, any minor under the age of 18 engaged in commercial sex acts is automatically considered a victim of sex trafficking under the law. Worldwide, it's estimated that there are 4.5 million victims of sex trafficking. Worldwide, false promises are ways in which traffickers bait and enslave their victims – both adults and minors. Indigenous populations and those who live in abject poverty are typically economically and politically marginalized; thus, most lack rights and access to basic services such as education which make them particularly vulnerable to sex trafficking. Many times, people from these communities are offered false employment opportunities in major cities. For example, men and boys are sent overseas to work in construction and agriculture but are also forced to perform commercial sex acts. Women and young girls may be offered jobs as models, nannies, waitresses or dancers. Some traffickers operate under the guise of agencies that offer cross-country dating services. However, upon arrival, these individuals are abused, threatened and sold in the sex industry. Often, traffickers keep victims under their control by saying that they’ll be free after they pay their debt. The “debt” is supposedly incurred from the victims’ recruitment, transportation, upkeep or even their crude “sale.” Thus, sex trafficking may occur within debt bondage/bonded labor. Victims of sex trafficking may eventually perform other functions, in addition to being forced sex workers. Some traffickers use sex trafficking victims to recruit or transport other victims. As a result, when sex trafficking victims are caught, they might be detained and prosecuted for criminal activity (e.g., prostitution). However, a legal charge is only one area of concern. Sex trafficking has devastating consequences for the trafficked individual. Victims may suffer from long-lasting physical and psychological trauma, disease (HIV/AIDS), drug addiction, malnutrition and social ostracism.

Trauma Bonding

Hello everyone, in today’s episode I will be talking about the union between marked souls or as you heard it “Trauma Bonding”. Yes this is a Hot Topic🔥🔥🔥...and Yepp...I know it’s a very sensitive subject! So tune in you don’t want to miss out! We have a special guest joining us, Nefora!!!! Artist, Educator, Naturalist.Yess so get ready, grab your popcorn and notes pads. We will be sharing a few experiences and stories, we have encountered and seen from others. I’m laying out the good, bad, and the ugly truth “Traumatic bonding” A lot of people may ask what it’s traumatic bonding? The Definition is simply put it’s when you form a bond or a strong, emotional attachment between an abused person and his or her abuser, formed as a result of the cycle of violence. It’s an ongoing cycle of abuse in which the intermittent reinforcement of reward and punishment creates powerful emotional bonds that are resistant to change. Warning ⚠️ please understand this is not healthy, it’s NOT love, friendship, or family! Traumatic behavior is the misuse of fear, excitement, sexual feelings, and sexual physiology to entangle another person. Also this is not just applied to one group this can be in relations to friends, family members, and even coworkers.
