From The American Anti-Slavery Group

Quote:
Contrary to popular belief, slavery didn’t end with Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Experts estimate that today there are 27 million people enslaved around the world. It’s happening in countries on all six inhabited continents. And yes, that includes the United States. The CIA estimates 14,500 to 17,000 victims are trafficked into the “Land of the Free” every year.

Why hasn’t more been done to end a dehumanizing, universally condemned practice? One challenge is that slavery today takes on myriad, subtler forms than it did during the Atlantic Slave Trade — including sex trafficking, debt bondage, forced domestic or agricultural labor, and chattel slavery — making it tougher to identify and eradicate.


Much more is located on their website. There is more information around the web.

Especially considering a large portion of their clientele in those sex trafficking organizations are incels who clearly went overboard, however those men weren't born monsters, society helped make them monsters. Not condoning rape by any means though. But what I'm saying is that by legalising willing prostitution, it'll take business away from traffickers and the men leave as men, not monsters. Incel is a dangerous phenomenon which causes varying degrees of mental illness, sometimes very extreme... it's part of the training carricilum to condition terrorists to become terrorists. Why do you think theyr promised all those virgins in the afterlife?
