The paper referred to prostitutes as sisters and Men were usually depicted as the wrongdoers. This was a concept unheard of in Ingraham’s society. Ingaham shed light on the fact that once a woman was violated and abandoned by a man, she became shunned by the community, lost all opportunities to be married to a “good man,” had few job prospects available to her, as well as had no legal recourse. The only job women could hold at the time was as sweat shop employees, where they would be paid extremely low wages, on which survival was difficult, especially if the women had to support her children. Ingraham felt this broken system had been pushing women onto the street and into prostitution.
Children, especially, are victimized by those sexual predators for reasons such as child’s availability, anonymity, physiological sicknesses, and the lack of child-protection laws. Some children aren’t supervised; they get into the hands of sexual criminals and they, children, don’t say what happened to their family. Moreover, prostitution, for both genders, is also a form of violence. Prostitutes live under harsh circumstances that make them have no choice to sell their bodies. The vast majority of prostitutes in Morocco are people that sell their body to foreigners and locals at a very low price, only to survive.
Prostitution Among Immigration Routes Social Structure Theory: Prostitution Among Immigration Routes Prostitution is a terrible reality for many women seeking to escape their current sociocultural situation that often includes poverty, abuse, and other factors that force the individual to make the decision to escape in hope of finding a better life (University of Phoenix, 2013). Although many women are faced to engage in prostitution as a means of repayment to traffickers, there are also those who try to gain illegal entry into another country on their own and are forced to resort to similar means of earning money to survive (University of Phoenix, 2013). According to University of Phoenix Prostitution along immigration routes video (2013) “We know that worldwide there is talk of the feminization of immigration, and 54% of immigrants throughout the world are women.” One of the most common immigration problems in the United States is illegal crossing through the Senora Desert region of Mexico, which contains a 30-mile area notorious for brothels and nightclubs where female immigrants work as prostitutes to pay human traffickers (University of Phoenix, 2013).

She's a whore, and she goes to jail. It's ludicrous." This point is easy to understand, many women who aren’t actually prostitutes engage in similar behavior to that of sex trade workers without making a profit at all.

Sex trafficking is a much more serious crime than people think it is – a business of female empowerment that sell sexual services in exchange for money – when, however, it is an underground market of enslaved women forced into unwilling intercourse. Prostitution starts out at a fairly young age – ages 11-14 – where pimps use social media networks and blogs to befriend vulnerably young women. They’ll use seducing woos and flaunts to lure these girls in, comforting them with protection & care and buying them tangible desires. Seeing the point of view on sex trafficking from a prostitute as a victim – rather than a sex-worker – is one factor that change my view on sex trafficking. In the film, a turned-prostitute provides their life story as a former prostitute and how they were able to escape the slavery of sex trafficking.
Since Cordelia didn’t have the best home life prostitution was a way for her to maybe feel loved and that she was wanted. In the beginning she did it for pleasure and as she got older it was a way for her to make money. As the story goes on Cordelia never really got out of the effects of poverty. The first example that poverty was an underlining cause in Cordelia life was that prostitution was everywhere around her because she lived in a neighborhood where people were very poor and needed money.

The codes also show their views on women. It appears that the Babylonian’s did not have complete disregard for a women. Several of the codes explain that if the husband were to cheat or accuse her of cheating, but she has not been “surprised”, then she is free to go, whereas in other societies, the women was always found guilty and punished in some way. The Babylonian’s also did not tolerate stealing. The punishments were more severe if stolen from a temple or court, but mostly, the person who stole must pay for the property, or be put to death.
The mental feeling that the women get when encountering Gary Ridgway has a major affect on their personal privacy. This leads into the theory of feminism, Ridgway was a feminist that did not value women and felt that males had a strong power than woman. He grew up in an underprivileged neighbourhood and was very poor. He had to work hard for his money and ended up painting trucks for 30 years, during this time he had regular visits with prostitutes. Ridgway growing up around this society developed him into a man who undervalued women and also felt to gain power after living a very broken-childhood, which is why violence upon women was his escape to accomplish a sense of authority.

A common cause of human trafficking and the exploitation of minors, more often, young women are poverty and exclusion. “Many of these unfortunate victims of human trafficking may not be aware that they will be forced into commercial sex” (In a lot of cases trafficked persons have migrated from different countries that already have problems with poverty. If we consider the gender aspects, women and girls have less access to education, jobs, or social service than men. Traffickers benefit from people in situations where they are seeking a better life in a different country but don’t have the capabilities to travel and find work. Men are also victimized into emigrating and selling their labor force.
