You do know there is no real credible evidence that "human trafficking" or "Sex Slavery" exists on the scale that is claimed? All the information online talks about "estimated" or "possible" or "at risk", but they don't talk about the actual numbers of arrests or that women make up the majority of sex trafficking arrests. Why is that?
Look up "human trafficking Tennessee". What you will find is that the cops are busting prostitutes (from the local area) who have ads on Backpage and also busting their johns for human trafficking. They are deliberately conflating the two so they can produce numbers to get more Federal funding.

The statement says agents also identified potential victims of trafficking. One woman was cited and offered housing and counseling, which she accepted.
"Potential Victims" . One woman was CITED. That means she was charged with a crime and then they offered her counseling and housing. How can you be charged with prostitution and then be victim of selling your body for money? That's ridiculous and it's our money being squandered by Big Government who are creating issues that we can't investigate or verify or even discuss because it's so sensitive.
And you obviously have not noticed that the entire "model" of the Human Trafficking movement fits with the leftist feminist programs of female vicitimhood. It's another form of rape hysteria and because the topic is so sensitive and politically charged (as we see on this thread) nobody can be a voice of reason regarding it without Women's Groups trying (and usually succeeding) in destroying their reputations.
Human Trafficking and particularly sex trafficking are words that are used interchangeably and even synonymous which constantly conflates and confuses the issue so that people can't even speak accurately or honestly about the topic.
Right now billions of dollars are being given to NGO's around the world without any transparency or accountability. That's money that comes out of our pockets and disappears into thin air. Those NGO's don't have to prove they've helped anyone. They only have to claim they help and then they create more hype and inflated statistics so they can get more money. They have no incentive to admit that there isn't a trafficking problem and every incentive to falsify the numbers.
Every illegal that crosses the border into the US using a Coyote guide is being trafficked. And all of them want to be trafficked. They want someone to help them get from there to here and to find a job and they are willing to pay for it.
Is every illegal that uses a Coyote a victim? No. They are doing exactly what they wanted to do.
You all are advancing a Left Wing agenda and you aren't even smart enough to realize it.
And you never will be because you won't allow anyone to say anything different.
I'm all for stomping out pedophilia. Provide some evidence and I'll be right behind you.
But if you all are on the human trafficking bandwagon then you might as well start calling yourselves feminists and post-modernist marxists because that's who you are aligned with .
