Prostitution, Pornography, and Sex Trafficking

Introduction

Our world is full of grave issues that need to address on the most priority basis. These issues arise either from the society, politics, economics or the geographical positioning of the world. Most of the issues currently prevailing in the world are due to the dysfunctional society or the faulty economic systems of the world. One of the biggest issues that are being faced by a large population of the world is Sex Trafficking.

Sex trafficking refers to the trafficking or smuggling of humans in order to exploit them sexually or use them for sex labor. The people smuggled through sex trafficking or human trafficking are used for the purpose of sex slavery or prostitution. The people brought through the trade of sex trafficking are also used for pornography, most of which is forced. There has been a long debate since ages that prostitution, pornography, and sex trafficking are interconnected and both have deep-rooted links with each other. The following piece of writing will look into the details the how these three are interlinked and how they are proving to be evil for the human world.

Discussion

The evil of sex trafficking started a long time ago, but the issue was highlighted in the early 1990s when the international organizations noticed mass levels of humans being smuggled and trafficked across the international borders. The countries that mostly suffer from this evil are the third world countries where there is extreme poverty, and the political conditions are also not stable. One of the most prominent regions suffering from this issue is the continent of Africa.

Porn Fuels the Demand for Sex Trafficking

There is a popular concept that the demand for porn fuels the demand for sex trafficking as well. The demand for new faces and fresh talent in the industry always give fire to the business of sex trafficking, and the demand for more and more “sex slaves” goes up. Many people do not agree with this concept and shun it that it is just a rumor, but facts and figures tell some other story CITATION Por19 \l 1033 (Drug, 2019).

Sex Trafficking Isn’t What You Think

Many people confuse sex trafficking with human trafficking, but in fact, both are completely different CITATION Sob16 \l 1033 (TEDxTalks, 2016). Although the “item or commodity” being transported in both the cases is human and most appropriately human body, the nature of trade in both the cases is entirely different. Sex trafficking is carried on to use that human solely for the purpose of the sex trade, to make them sex slaves or use them for pornography, while, on the other hand, human trafficking is carried on for the purpose of smuggling of organs or general slavery.

What A Sex Worker Can Teach Us About The Human Connection?

Although sex trafficking is a great evil and issue in society, there is just a little positive side to it as well. Most probably, a sex worker understands the human emotions and feelings more properly than any other human or relation in life. The most logical or understandable explanation of this can be because of the fact that most of the people vent out their most honest feelings during this process called sexual intimacy CITATION Emm18 \l 1033 (Talks, 2018).

Conclusion

Hence, in short, it can be seen that prostitution and pornography are deeply linked to the evil of sex trade or sex trafficking. People are smuggled across the borders, whether international or local to force them to work as sex slaves or prostitutes, and this is not only the case with the females, but males are also a victim equally in this crime. The only solution that has been found to be most effective in stopping the issue is raising awareness regarding the evils of sex trafficking and guiding the people to take as many precautionary measures as they can.
