It seems this is going on all over the world.. easy pickings for low life scum to ply their ugly trade using women as well as children, and I dont feel enough is being done.. one man who is standing up to it is Tony Schiena... many more like this man are needed as well as more police and governements taking heed of whats going on and doing more about it....
They just had a huge bust in California where hundreds were arrested.
With Super Bowl today there was attention given to how trafficking increases during such events.
It's unfortunately a problem that will never go away.
Also, what's annoying is when people bring up the thought of legalizing prostitution whenever sex trafficking of underage girls is discussed. Legal prostitution has absolutely nothing to do with trafficking underage girls.
I agree it is a widespread problem. And often well-hidden.
It's sometimes's difficult to tell if household help have been trafficked. There have been cases where even the victim thinks they are merely working off the cost of getting out of an impoverished country. Of course, they never can.
Even the sex trafficking of people (all ages, both genders) is well-hidden.
I'm glad to see more education, PSAs for most of us, formal training for medical and other emergency persons.
Personally, I support Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT). Victims, both domestic and of sex crimes, get moved around a lot. Truck drivers are in a unique position to observe this. The organization has done a lot of good and is growing.
Donald Trump is trying to stand up to human trafficking but the Dems are obstructing. Kind of like they obstructed Abe Lincoln from the same thing when they obstructed his efforts to stop slavery.

How or why are they obstructing this.. is it just to go against Trump..

How are the Dems obstructing him?
Are they blocking enforcement?
Trying to make sex trafficking legal?
I would really like to understand why you came to this conclusion.
And surely you must want to share this info so that others can see that your views are just, right?
So?
As for the OP, it’s an issue in my area as it is everywhere.
While I am glad that the forces that combine during these big events call attention to this horror, I wish it didn’t melt into the background at other times of the year.
It’s well past time for every state to change their statutes to disallow child brides and for the immigration laws to change to disallow same.
Demand is the problem here. They will never even put dent in human/child trafficking using laws and enforcement...there is SOOO much demand for children and woman for sexual purposes, its supply and demand...someone WILL step up to supply, if they get caught or arrested, another will just take their place.
Its amazing to me, we cannot get past this mentality of using law enforcement, to deal with these kinds of problems, the drug war is similar, everyone says they learned their lesson with alcohol prohibition, but It seems they havent, they are using the same old methods that have failed over and over again?! It makes you start to wonder, if stopping or reducing it is really the goal.
I'll believe the Dems care get they get on board with building good barriers to deter illegal entry into our country for any purpose until then, no. They act like if they don't deter illegal entry 100% they are useless. It's just an excuse for not doing the right thing. Yet they were certainly on board for it in 2006 along with some sell out Republicans today.
