FACTS: PROSTITUTION GLOBALLY
The sex industry relies heavily on
force, fraud, and coercion
to keep its supply of workers
Persons working in the sex trade are
routinely subjected to
violence and rape
, but do not report or have protection from these crimes
Entry age for sex workers is
11-14 years old

You will always discover that their past includes
sexual abuse, brutal violence or acute emotional neglect
.”?
