2010 Human Traffic English Public Service Announcement from STOP Human Trafficking on Vimeo.

People are mainly trafficked and enslaved as sex workers but also as forced laborers, child brides and as soldiers. This is fact.

Of the 600-800’000 people smuggled over international borders annually, 75% are used for sex trafficking. So we here at ‘STOP’ thought, wow Nelly, not while we’re alive!

Being trafficked to work in the sex industry is a catch 22 situation. Here is one of the many scenarios;

You are poor and uneducated.

The only commodity your family has left to sell for food is…you.

You are enslaved and forced to work as a prostitute, but it is better than dying of hunger. Besides, they’ll probably kill me if I try escape.You can’t cope with being a prostitute, but luckily there are ample substances available to help you handle the barrage of customers you are forced to sleep with everyday.

You start using the little money you receive to support your ever increasing drug habit.You want out… but now you have no money… you already spent it on drugs. So you keep working to make MORE money.

In other words, finding yourself between the devil and the deep blue sea.
