i've been doing a lot of reading and writing on this topic of sex slavery, as usual i suppose, as i've been able to study its prevalence in different ways all around the world. i've been focused to the minnesota issue due to my location and my interest in the twin cities as i see myself staying here for a while yet. much like this article on the reality of sexual slavery among pakistani poor:
IRIN Asia PAKISTAN: Sold into sex work Asia Pakistan Children Economy Gender Issues Human Rights Urban Risk Feature , girls on average are trafficked sexually between the ages of 12 and 14 in minnesota. people like to think the issue is just "over there" but it's here. and where you are, too, i'm pretty sure i can guarentee to any reader. i hope to continue to be involved with what is happening here to eradicate the influences that keep the market for sex thriving, while i also long to return to asia and do the work there. it's by reading articles like the one linked here along with commiting to work here among impoverished and oppressed adolescents and families that keep me focused on my goals and purpose.
