Sex Trafficking In The United States

A Human Rights Problem

Awareness of sex trafficking has grown tenfold in recent decades. But despite its heightened recognition, the number of sex trafficking survivors has not decreased.

Author Hanna Nussair states that combating sex trafficking requires us to shift our perception of what sex trafficking looks like and begin looking at the problem through a human rights lens rather than a criminal justice lens. Some possible reforms include systemic poverty reduction, psychological services and assistance for homeless, and more.
