PROSTITUTES ????  THEY ARE THE VICTIMS..

A total number of 10,176 children which includes 5,777 girls have gone missing from 2011-13 out of which police got to trace only 8,886. Thus, on an average 3,400 children go missing every year. Needless to say, these children are transported to other states either for the labour or child prostitution.

PIMP in many countries, earn a lot from child prostitution simply because, the customers demand for new girls...a PIMP in Atlanta earns around $33,000 every month...just because they have a chain of migrant children who are forced to have sex several time a night. However, the average life of such child is estimated to be 7 years once she is forced in prostitution. Apart from prostitution these kids are also sold as home maids.

Child sex tourism which is another thing related to the child sexual abuse, has Goa being on the checklist of foreigners seeking boy prostitute.Most of the victims are migrants and hence could be easily lured by giving them a good amount. There are also some cases wherein children took a voluntary action and had no problem getting into the act of prostitution where they earn 5 times more than their usual jobs.

What can be worse than Islamic State’s introduction to sex slavery on 3^rd August, 2104 after which 5,270 Yazidis were abducted out of which 3,144 are still being held. The ISIS militants have opened a slave market where these Yazidi women and children are being sold. However, until and unless they are not bought, these girls and women get transferred from place to place. In one of the report for New York Time, Mauricio Lima, wrote about a 11 year old girl, who used to get raped by her buyer, several times a day causing an infection in her private parts. The buyer would complain saying that the body of his slave smells badly...but he even then would not stop having an intercourse with her. Raping a Yazidi girl, would bring him closer to God and that it is allowed to rape an unbeliever according to Islam, said an Islamic State fighter after raping a 12year old Yazidi girl.

Ruchira Gupta, a Delhi based activist says that of 20 million enslaved people in the world , around million are trafficked into prostitution, organ trade, child marriage, etc. 70% of these people are women. Out of 3 million women trapped in prostitution, 1.4 million are girls. Most of these girls belong to the rural areas who are being brought to metropolitan cities with the promise of getting them job or marriage.

So next time you hear any one calling such kids a prostitute...tell them ....they are the victims....just because they didn’t become what they are by their choice...but were forced into it.
