People around the world face inhumane conditions and treatment on a daily basis. “Traffickers use force, fraud or coercion, including techniques such as restraint, beatings, rape, confiscation of documents, debt bondage, false job owners and threats of harm” to to maintain control over their slaves (Potocky, 2010). Sex trafficking is currently a global problem and will increase worldwide if nothing is done to prevent and eliminate it. Sexual slavery is a type of prostitution in which traffickers make more profits by soliciting slaves. The sex trade will continue if nothing is done to prevent it globally. Finally, for sexual slavery to be abolished, international governments will need to act and support the anti-sex trade. If nothing is done to prevent it, there will be a future epidemic of women and children affected by the sex trade. Sexual slavery is the new profitable version of prostitution around the world, with failed prevention acts. Slavery continues to exist because it is a profitable market, it continues to exist and grow, but in new forms involving prostitution and sex. This is a growing epidemic, “globally, human trafficking is considered the third largest source of profits for organized crime” (Wynn, 2012). In the United States, the government and courts lack the motivation to put an end to such problems. Currently, “U.S. attorneys decline to prosecute approximately 60% of trafficking cases” (Potocky, 2010). This does not help prevent sex trafficking or trade. Sexual slavery will continue to exist due to the lack of consequences in terms of punishment for traffickers. Governments must help make the consequences more severe.
