Sex Trafficking

I'm going to edit this article and add more information. I decided to narrow it down to the specific continents in which sex trafficking occurs. I will either narrow it down to countries in Europe, or if there is not a whole lot more information, I will talk about countries in other continents as well. I am currently looking for credible sources. In the wiki-page, there is little information about sex trafficking in certain continents and there don't talk a whole lot about the countries in which all of this occurs. Of course they mention some, but there are more to talk about.

Sex Trafficking

Europe Main article: Sex trafficking in Europe Europe has the highest number of sex slaves per capita in the world. In general, countries who are members of the European Union are destinations for individuals to be sex trafficked whereas the Balkans and Eastern Europe are source and transit countries. Transit countries are picked for their geographical location. This is because the locations the traffickers pick usually have a weak border control, the distance from the destination countries, corrupt official, or the organized crime groups are in on the sex trafficking. In 1997 alone as many as 175,000 young women from Russia, as well as the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, were sold as commodities in the sex markets of the developed countries in Europe and the Americas The European Union reported that from 2010–2013 30,146 individuals were identified and registered as human trafficking victims. Of those registered, 69 percent of the victims were sexually exploited and more than 1,000 were children. Although many sex trafficked individuals are from outside of Europe, two-thirds of the 30,146 victims were EU citizens. Despite this high proportion of domestic sex slaves, the most common ethnicities of women who are trafficked to the United Kingdom are Chinese, Brazilian, and Thai.

Moldova is a known country in Europe for women, children and men to be subjected to sex trafficking. Girls from Moldovan become sex slaves starting at the age of 14. On average, they have to sleep with 12 to 15 men. The national Bureau of Statistics in Moldova says that in 2008 there were almost 25,000 victims of trafficking. When the women from Moldova are being trafficked for sex, they are most likely to be sent to countries such as, Russia, Cyprus, Turkey, and other Middle Western and Eastern European countries. This is because in Russia, it is said that the government is well aware about people being sex trafficked and maybe even promote it. 85 percent of the victims leave their country to find a better job to support their family, but they are tricked into becoming a sex slave and are forced to become a prostitute. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) asked victims what country they came from and sixty one percent of the victims came from Moldova, 19 percent came from Romania, and the rest came from Albania, Bulgaria, Russia, and Ukraine. More than 60 percent of the victims had a secondary school education or better, and 21 was the age average. Dannyjimenez11 (talk) 15:29, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Nigerian syndicates dominate sex trades in multiple territories. The syndicates recruit women from South Africa and send them to Europe and Asia, where they are forced into prostitution, drug smuggling, or domestic violence. Law enforcement reported that sex traffickers force drug use to persuade these unwilling women. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dannyjimenez11 (talk • contribs) 21:23, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The 2014 Global Slavery Index (GSI) says that there are about 36 million victims of trafficking in the world, and nearly two-thirds of the people are from Asia. Pakistan, Thailand, China, India, and Bangladesh are in the top 10 for countries with the largest amount of tracking victims around the world. India is at the top of the list with 14 million victims, China comes in second with 3.2 million victims, and Pakistan comes in at third with 2.1 million victims. Cambodia is also a transit, source, and a destination country for trafficking. 36% of trafficked victims in Asia are children, while 64% are adults. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dannyjimenez11 (talk • contribs) 21:50, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dozens of girls from Iran are brought to Pakistan to be sold as sex slaves every day. Most of these women have already been raped within the first 24 hours of their departure. It was also said in the Tehran newspapers that senior figures from the government have been involved in buying, selling, and abusing young women and children. Runaway girls in Iran are sought out for by the traffickers because it is incredibly easy to put them in the sex trafficking market since they have no home. There are about 84,000 women and girls in prostitution in Tehran. Most of them are on the streets, while others are in the 250 brothels. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dannyjimenez11 (talk • contribs) 22:18, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm doing the same topic so I decided to look over yours and see what you came up with! 1. In your second sentence you wrote "are destinations for sex trafficked individuals whereas...." I think it would sound better if you wrote " are destinations for individuals to be sex trafficked....." 2. Right after that you state "Eastern Europe are source and transit countries" I think it would be a good idea if you explained or put in a wiki link explaining what a transit country is when it comes to sex trafficking because not everyone is going to know. 3. You mentioned that fact that more than 1,000 children were sexually exploited maybe you would want to go a little more into detail about child sex trafficking and why it is so common. 4. Why do the majority of traffickers sent their victims to Russia, Cyprus, Turkey? Cheaper transportation? More money? Higher clientele? 5. Lastly, there is a part where you said the IOM asked victims and 61% said.... you should include what the IOM asked them instead of just jumping straight the statistics. Everything else looks good though! Gallagherk104 (talk) 15:11, 28 April 2017 (UTC)Gallagherk104[reply]
