Human Trafficking is not just about sex trade.

I personally have friends who are working girls and are without a doubt not trafficked.
Do you assume nannies, factory workers, agricultural workers, home cleaning people, restaurant workers, hotels, nail salon workers etc.. are also trafficked individuals? Because those are common types of labor involved with human trafficking throughout the world (and US).
Human trafficking is not just sex services. It is all sorts of forced/slave labor in all forms. The media likes to equate human trafficking with sex because it is dramatic and sex for money is taboo.... it is all for the reaction. It is also one of the few labor types listed as common to human trafficking that is widely illegal.
This type of media attention is actually counter to bringing public knowledge to the human trafficking problem. It results in people not looking for victims in any other types of labor. There could be human trafficked victims operating right in front of them, but people don't look because it is not sex work related. They don't report it because it isn't sex work.. but a nail salon, or the nanny they got from a service, or the maid that cleans their house. The media channels should be ashamed of themselves...
I'm a supporter rights for sex workers but in doing so I also want hardened laws against human trafficking... in all forms of labor. For starters, I want sex workers to have the right to seek out the authorities if they are victimized without being subjected to prosecution themselves. Violence against them is extremely common and almost none get reported. I want the public educated in human trafficking and pimping made illegal.

Human Trafficking at Sea
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/10/in...book.html?_r=1
"Trouble at sea, including beatings, rapes, injuries and killings, is common and when trouble arises, the manning agencies sometimes disavowed responsibility for the men, and refused to pay them. “And at sea, there are no embassies,” Celso Celso J. Hernandez Jr., a lawyer with the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, the agency responsible for protecting Filipino workers sent abroad, said about how detached and unprotected seafarers are."Posted 11-11-2015 at 07:29 AM by usayit
