~I read this story about this girl named Tanya. ~
~It’s a good example of what sharedhope.com is all about and there points they make. ~
There is the supply, manufactures, and the demand. On shared hope it talks about the sex industry and how by even watching porn would contribute into the increasing number of victims.
I think they make a real good analogy by saying prostitution is like a business. Of course, businesses only care about money, no matter how they do it, like the sex industry. This is a modern day slavery trade. Real human beings being sold and used to have your few minutes of pleasure. The supply, the humans, like Tanya are victims. The manufactures are the pimps, “boyfriends” (as Tanya had) and other people who lure young people to their business. The demand, something no business can live without. The demand is people who go and have sex with hookers, buy porn, ECT. And just think if there were no demand, there would be no need for supply and no manufactures. I know that it’s natural to want sex and such, but at what price?
Many young girls are arrested because they were prostituting, and go to jail. But if they had the choice, they would not want to hook. Like Tanya, she went to jail at seventeen for hooking. When she went to jail, it only made things worse, because she needed help with the things she had gone through.
The girls should not be the one arrested; they are the ones who need help. Many of them had no choice in hookering.
Tanya was twelve when she met this guy. She only had a mom and she was alcoholic, she was looking for someone who cared about her and this man was there for her. He was the only person she had and when Tanya found out that he was a pimp, he asked her to join. She was a young girl, she did hook. It was horrible, not allowed to talk to anyone but the people in “the family.” The family was the pimp and the other hookers. Every cent went to her pimp, or he would kill her. Often beaten and raped, Tanya’s live was bad.
Many hookers can not leave because the pimps have their information on them. When they get them in “the family”, usually they will have a wallet. The pimps will look at it, and write down they info. So if the hooker turned them in to the police or run, they say “well, I know were you and your family are living and I’ll kill them.”
Many hookers need a pimp because people could abduct them or not give the money.
Tanya got rescued by the shared hope foundation and is doing well. Now finishing up school and helping other girls in same situation.
Society has a common misconception that hookers are dirty and deserve jail, when really they are victims. I know no one would want to do this.
This is one business that should be stopped NOW!
