This article is the second in a three-part series written by Jenna Elfman for WhoSayto raise awareness regarding child sex trafficking in the United States. To read the first article, head here.
Did you know that a type of slavery still exists in the United States today? It's called human trafficking, which is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as "the organized criminal activity in which human beings are treated as possessions to be controlled and exploited (as by being forced into prostitution or involuntary labor)."
THAT is our modern slavery. However, this month is Human Trafficking Awareness Month and I want to draw your attention to a specific facet that is happening to some of the most vulnerable citizens in our society: kids, who are being exploited and sold for sex.
