Sunitha Krishnan has dedicated her life to rescuing women and children from sex slavery, a multimilion-dollar global market. In this courageous talk, she tells three powerful stories, as well as her own, and calls for a more humane approach to helping these young victims rebuild their lives.
Is raping children really a 10 Billion Dollar Industry? Oh yes. It is modern day slavery and it’s crazy to hear about but it’s true. It’s oh so true. Sunitha talks about the anger that comes attached to it. It’s one thing for the victims to be angry about what happened to them but what about the general population being angry about what’s going on around them? And for those racists out there, it’s not just the poor kids in Africa and India either, it’s kids in your backyard who are being exploited. It’s kids on the milk cartons. I’m just saying. For anything to be done about it though, people will first of all need to open their minds to the possibility that the rapists are among us, are our friends, doctors, dentists, judges and men and women “protecting” us. Second of all in my opinion we need to be more open sexually, have healthier sex lives and not have sex be such a taboo. As soon as sex is a hush hush topic, it is forced into the basement where it will remain. If sexuality is shunned, frowned upon and talked about as being so dirty and bad, it doesn’t just go away, it becomes perverted, dark and festering and those “perfect” well groomed buttoned-up conservative humans are dirty rotten beasts in the darkness. They are transporting minors for sex (read article) and there are perps on the Internet, in your churches, businesses and schools too. Not to mention the sex slavery happening in homes across America (middle America) where they trade kids, steal kids, rape them, impregnate them and rape their offspring. What? What in the hell are you talking about Angela Shelton? Oh don’t even get me started.
Merry Christmas!
Remember stop raping kids, go F yourselves!
Here’s some good resources for victims, supporters and those who care:
Girls Educational & Mentoring Services (GEMS) is the nation’s largest organization empowering girls and young women, ages 12-21, who have experienced sexual exploitation and domestic trafficking to exit the commercial sex industry and develop to their full potential. GEMS is committed to ending commercial sexual exploitation and domestic trafficking of children by changing individual lives, transforming public perception, and revolutionizing the systems and policies that impact sexually exploited youth. GEMS’ vision is to end the commercial exploitation and trafficking of children. We believe that all young women have great beauty and worth, and the potential for future success. The voices and experiences of youth survivors are integral to the development and implementation of all GEMS’ programming.
