This is a Youtube video I produced on the topic of sex trafficking. With the help and support of my friends, I was able to design a video which provided viewers with surprising facts about the issue. In addition, I was able to use this video to promote a 5v5 basketball tournament I created with hopes of inspiring students at my high school to participate and to gain more knowledge on the issue of sex trafficking.

By creating an Instagram account that is dedicated to spreading awareness about sex trafficking; it allowed me to promote a 5v5 basketball tournament I created and to gain participants in a fast and effective way. Although i did not have many followers, we still managed to raise $410 to give to a specific charity, such as Shared Hope International,  where youth can be taught the tactics the traffickers use and how to avoid it.

Toronto police have arrested three people after a woman alleges she was pulled into the sex trade by a man she met on Tinder.

The sex crimes human trafficking enforcement team started an investigation on Dec. 1 after two men had each allegedly attempted to recruit different women into sex work through the dating app.

One 23-year-old man met a woman on Tinder but was rejected. He continued to harass her despite her rejections, police alleged in a news release Friday.

The 19-year-old man did lure a different woman into the sex trade after meeting her on Tinder, police alleged. He brought her to a hotel in Mississauga, took photos of her "in various stages of undress" to advertise her sexual services online and made arrangements for her to see clients, police said.

He allegedly assaulted her and threatened her family.

He then introduced the victim to the other male suspect and another 23-year-old woman. She also allegedly took photos of the victim and advertised her services online.

The suspects forced the victim to hand over her earnings from the sex trade, police said.

"Both men and (the 23-year-old) woman used deception, intimidation and fear to exercise control over the actions and movements of the woman," police said in a news release.

Police arrested two people on Dec. 1.

Joshua Hamblett and Sashauna Wilkins - both 23-year-olds from Brampton - are facing various human trafficking charges, including recruiting a person to provide sexual services for compensation, financial gain from trafficking in persons over 18 years old, and advertising sexual services for another person.

Hamblett is also facing a harassment charge over the first attempt to recruit a woman into the sex trade.

Keagan Prophete, 19, was arrested on Dec. 18, and is facing nine charges in total, involving human trafficking, as well as assault and uttering threats.

All three have appeared in court, but police said they're concerned that there could be more victims.

"We want to make sure that everyone has access to support services and an exit strategy, regardless of their decision to proceed criminally," police said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-7474 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).

The Enditmovement posts regularly about how to stop the problem of sex trafficking by exposing the tactics sex trafficker use to lure their victim into sexual work. Often times, traffickers will target the most vulnerable for example, homeless youth. These children are in situations where they are struggling to provide for themselves which is what the traffickers prey on. By providing information on how to stop this injustice we will become proactive in helping the vulnerable diminishing the nonoccurence of this injustice.

This article discusses sex trafficking as a worldwide issue and stresses the importance of educating oneself on this dilemma.  As stated in the article, "the yearly number of women and children who are trafficked across international borders are 600,000 to 800,000 victims" (Cando, 2018).  News articles such as this are important as they allow for issues to be portrayed towards large audiences worldwide. By posting opinion pieces on news sites, others can be inspired to reply with their own views and hopefully take action in diminish this injustice.

Opinion | We must tackle the problem of sex trafficking

Sex trafficking has emerged as one of the worst and most pervasive forms of human rights violations of women and children.

# data[].attributes.body
Robert Kraft who is a owner of the patriots was recently charged of soliciting prostitution at Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida; this is where he sold individuals by using the six stages of '"grooming" to lure their victims into sexual activities. The first stage of grooming targets individuals who are low income and desperate for money. The second stage is where the trafficker finds the person and provides them with protection, love, adventure, money, and home creating a trustworthy relationship showing the victim genuine love. The third stage makes the victim feel that their life is dependent on the trafficker thus leading to a trusting relationship between trafficker and victim. The fourth stage is isolation. By isolating the victim from the family, it will allow the trafficker to bring the victim to far away places and possibly force her to perform sexual activities. If they refuse they will threaten to leave them in the country or hurt their family members. The fifth stage forces the victim to repay the person generosity by putting them out on the market, if they refuse or go to the police, their family members get harmed.  The last stage is maintaining control, by using threats they will be able to gain profit off of the victim for as long as they want. To stop this from happening we must educate others to expose the methods of traffickers to hopefully eliminate this injustice one life at a time.

Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, was recently charged with two misdemeanors for allegedly soliciting prostitution at Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida. A spokesperson for Mr. Kraft categorically denied the accusations, but police Chief Daniel Kerr claimed to be in possession of video footage of Kraft receiving "paid acts" in the room.

Many expressed surprise at Kraft's alleged transgression-after all, he's a wealthy, powerful man who could probably figure out how to pay for sexual favors more surreptitiously and with higher-end providers, if that's what he wanted. But nobody should have been shocked.

Story Continued Below

I wasn't surprised because Kraft fits the profile: older, educated, affluent and looking for services with women who are unlikely to recognize him, much less speak about the alleged illicit services he received.

And what about the Orchids of Asia Day Spa? To the outside world, the alleged erotic massage parlor appears to provide only legitimate services, being located in the same shopping center as a Publix and Outback Steakhouse restaurant, Orchids of Asia advertised Swedish, Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, Thai, Hot Stone, Reflexology and Hawaiian Lomi-Lomi massages.

However, commercial sex businesses are typically hidden in plain sight.

According to RubMaps.com, a website used by commercial sex consumers to rank and review alleged erotic massage locations, Orchids of Asia Day Spa has been active since 2012. On the website, reviewers claimed to have paid for so-called "ass-play," "handjobs," and "breast-play" at the location. According to the commercial sex consumers, "full service"-a euphemism for sexual intercourse-was not provided.

Commercial sex consumers who reviewed Orchids of Asia Day Spa described it as being located in a "run-of-the-mill" strip mall. The men most frequently described the masseuses as being Chinese and aged between 30-40 years old. They alleged that masseuses would "tweak the nipples" of the consumers or tease them until they produced an erection, after which "extras" would be negotiated. On average, men claimed they paid $75 for the massage and an additional $40 tip in exchange for an erotic hand massage of their genitals.

Reviewers also claimed the Orchids of Asia Day Spa was formally known as Tokyo Spa & Massages, which had the same location and phone number, but simply changed in name. This is a common tactic used by erotic massage parlors. The location and phone number will stay constant, but the registered owner and name will change on paper-known as a straw man business, in order to stifle investigations by law enforcement.

On other commercial sex review websites, such as USASexGuide.nl, commercial sex consumers, who refer to themselves as "Mongers" and "Hobbyists," were confused on how the police in Florida were able to obtain video of Kraft, if he actually did receive commercial sex services, as alleged. Some speculated the video actually came from the business owner's security system as opposed to police, but one "Monger" floated the possibility that "one of the girls flipped on the owners. Police were made aware of a possible sex trafficking 'victim' in this establishment and they got a judge to sign off on the surveillance based on a 'sex trafficking victim.'" This is certainly within the realm of possibility-but police haven't confirmed it.

While most women involved in the commercial sex industry are not victims of sex trafficking, it is often difficult to discern the difference between the two. Erotic massage parlors, in particular, are locations at high risk of sex trafficking, as commercial sex providers are often recent immigrants who were defrauded into providing the illicit services upon arriving in the United States.

The Trump administration has made combating sex trafficking a priority, for example by signing the Abolish Human Trafficking Act, which strengthened programs supporting survivors and resources for combating modern slavery, and by signing the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act, which authorized $430 million to fight sex and labor trafficking. But it's unclear how effective these efforts have been in actually combating this modern scourge. The commercial sex industry is hidden in plain sight, in shopping centers, nail salons and massage parlors that both women and men patronize across the country and evidence suggests that American laws haven't been particularly effective in combating these clandestine crimes by preventing new crimes, protecting victims and prosecuting offenders.

Ultimately, whether or not Kraft is found guilty of soliciting prostitution, men like him will continue to fuel the demand for these services. The commercial sex industry is driven by people the public would least expect: They are our brothers, fathers, husbands, neighbors, teachers and-allegedly-even wealthy owners of major league sports teams. These men must understand that their commercial sex activity can fuel sex trafficking and learn what these victimizations involve. Victims can suffer from serious psychological and physical trauma, which can negatively affect them for years, decades or even a lifetime.

We're never going to snuff out the exchange of money for sex between consenting adults-not for nothing is it described as "the world's oldest profession." However,we can fight sex trafficking by decriminalizing consensual commercial sexual activity (which isn't the same as legalization). Police should be able to use discretion and offer lesser punishments, especially if a source is reporting a sex trafficking victimization. This would help identify more sex trafficking cases-and that's the real battle before us.
