          While young children are being taken advantage of by being drugged, raped and exploited for money, while people are being labored trafficked; we look the other way. We look the other way to what is considered as modern-day slavery because we teach ourselves to think “It can’t be happening here.”

           So if you are one of those people who think that it is not happening here or you are one of those persons who do not know about human trafficking, let me educate you by giving you some numbers from the National human trafficking hotline and Polaris’s BeFree textline. These are resources that provide survivors of human trafficking vital support and a variety of options to get help and stay safe from their abusers. They are the largest available database on human trafficking in the United States.

           If we take a look at a ten-year timeline between 2007 and 2016 there as been 31,659 case of human trafficking that were reported by reaching out to the National human trafficking hotline and Polaris’s BeFree Textline. In 2016, the number is 7,572, which is an increase of 35% compare to 2015.  Out of these 7,572 survivors 5,551 (73%) are victims of sex trafficking, 1,057 (14%) are victims of Labor trafficking, 268 (4%) are victims of both sex and labor trafficking and 696 (9%) did not specified the abused they endured. 

Every year those numbers have risen. How? Why? Because we let them.

I didn't know

TRIGGER WARNING: These stories may contain explicit descriptions of rape, sexual assault, domestic violence, relationship abuse, and other forms of personal violation that may be triggering for survivors of sexual violence.

I didn’t know I was raped. I didn’t know, until years later when age and wisdom opened my eyes to what had happened. I was in a violent and abusive relationship for a while at college. Frequently my partner would force me to have sex with him, I didn’t put up much of a fight because it was a marginally preferable alternative than the physical violence, which would often follow anyway. I didn’t know that it was okay to say ‘no’ even if you were in a relationship, I didn’t know that having sex with your partner even if you didn’t want to was rape, I didn’t know how to say 'no’. It took me years to be able to say that my ex-partner raped me. I could always quite easily say 'my ex was violent’, or 'I experienced domestic violence,’ even 'my ex beat me up’ - it seemed as though this was easier to say than 'I was raped’. Even now, years later, the word sticks in my throat, as though I wasn’t really a victim because I somehow let him do it. I never reported any of it to the police, though my neighbours frequently called them during violent incidents, I would always deny anything had happened. Eventually, I ended the relationship. It wasn’t easy to get away from him, and it took another year after the break up before he finally left me alone for good. Looking back, I just feel angry and disgusted with myself and with him.
