The Link between Prostitution and Sex Trafficking
Prostitution and sex trafficking are closely interconnected, with a strong emphasis needed on understanding the role of prostitution in driving sex trafficking. While efforts are often focused on combating sex trafficking, there is a need to dig deeper and recognize prostitution as a cause for trafficking. Band-aid solutions and superficial conversations fail to address the root cause of the issue. Understanding the experiences of those involved in prostitution, regardless of whether it was a choice or a decision made under limited options, provides a more comprehensive understanding of the larger issue at hand.
