Sex Trafficking

In the talk section of this article, it is clear that this article is not strong and there is a lot of content to add and editing to be done. What I want to focus on is bringing to light the underlying beliefs, values, and attitudes that are necessary for the occurrence of sex trafficking and what this says about how we value women. I also want to focus on the intricate role sex trafficking plays in the economy and why the hierarchical and patriarchal dynamics and structure of the global economy allows for and perpetuates sex trafficking. Sex trafficking points to who is exploitable and this narrative is prevalent when thinking about who is getting "used up" and turned into "waste" in the name of the economy.

I also want to address the legal restrictions which make it difficult to identify and criminalize pimps. I don't have much knowledge on this now, so what I know may be skewed, but from what I know it is difficult due to prostitution laws and laws concerning identify theft that keep these girls and women at more risk legally than the pimps. With the increase in technology as well due to globalization buying and selling girls and women globally becomes easier as well. The article touches on the anti-trafficking efforts which technology enhances, yet doesn't touch on how technology has also increased the issue. The talk section questions the reliability of the sources throughout the article, so I will also take a look at those and verify the information throughout the article.
