Lured by Hope, then Trapped in a Life of Misery in Sex Trade Traficking.

Lured here by hope... then trapped in a life of misery

The tragic stories of the 19-year-olds are identical. Both were approached by friends who promised them an escape from their daily existence in their home countries.

It was too good to be true. It was the start of a nightmare in which they would become just two more statistics from Scotland's appalling sex trade, living with six other victims in squalid little rooms furnished with only a single, dirty mattress.

Scotland's sex trade is growing, as the demand grows for new faces and younger girls.

This problem is occurring all around the world, it doesn't involve only the traficking of young women, as minors of both genders and all nationalities are being traficked for sex.

This problem, and it is a problem, used to be more prominent in third world countries, but it has been growing in developed nations.

The worst part is not that this inhuman trade for sex is growing in developed nations, but that in many developed nations there are groups which are trying to condone sex slavery/trade, and blame the cause for the sex trade/slavery on "the global failure to legalize prostitution".

There are countries in which sex trade has been accepted, normally those coutries and cities have socialist tendencies such as Montreal, which is known as one of the top sex trade cities in the world.

This is really a big problem, not only because of the slavery side of this "industry"... but because the legalization of such "industry", instead of alleviating the slavery aspect of this inhuman trade, it is making the demand for human traficking soar.

This is an example which has clearly shown that "legalizing" sex trade/slavery is not helping stop human traficking, but in fact is making it grow.

For example in the Netherlands, where prostitution has been regulated since October 2000, according to the Organization for the Rights of the Child, the number of prostituted minors has increased from 4,000 in 1996 to 15,000 in 2001, 5,000 which are foreign.

Human sex traficking is one of the mayor problems which is growing around the world due to it's "legalization", yet there are still many groups that want to legalise this trade to other developed nations.

I think it is time for people to realize that the legalization of this sick industry, instead of helping alleviate human traficking for the purpose of sex slavery, it is making it worse.

I am amazed this thread has had no responses.

Noone has an opinion on this?

It's all very well having some opinion of this horrid problem, but different countries are attacking the problem in different ways. It dosen't seem to make a difference - that dosen't make it any less wrong - there are legal brothels and illegal brothels that are pimping out sex slaves.

What can you really do! Ban sex, tell everyone to fill in a form before they fornicate. I'm not trying to be a smart arse, but really what would you do?

I know! I would improve the economys of all these poor down trodden peoples and give them all houses made of gold. Trust me there would soon be another sexually deviant problem hitting the streets, or drugs or whatever!!

All sex offenders should have their bits chopped off and nailed to their foreheads, that would up the ante and put a stop to a lot of them.

But not all, there will always be pain and suffering and there will always be abuse.

Now you are exagerating.... I never said anything about "banning sex".... This is different than "having sex". Personally I would never go to a brothel, or elsewhere "to have sex", not even with an 18+ year old prostitute, you never know what diseases they might have, and I don't pay for having sex, but that's a personal decision.

My girlfriends, and my ex-wife, when I was married, have done just fine, and I never had to pay them for it, and I never will.

If an adult woman wants to degrade herself this way, it is her choice and none of my business, but when women and minors are being "kidnapped" so that the demand in brothels and such can be met, there is something definitely wrong.

I just gave an example of some countries where making prostitution legal have actually worsen the problem instead of helped to avoid women and minors being kidnapped to be sex slaves.

Perhaps what should happen is that these countries which decided to make prostitution legal should have stronger measures to combat the sex slave trade.

But the problem that I see is that where there is a demand, and there are lots of perverts out there, the demand will be met legally or illegally unfortunately.
