LetMeSign.com Auction: Autographed ‘Breaking Dawn’ Book Benefiting @dnafoundation

The following text is from Let Me Sign :

Today, more than twelve million people worldwide are enslaved. An estimated two million children are bought and sold in the global commercial sex trade. The sex slavery industry has become an increasingly important revenue source for organized crime because each young girl can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars each year for her pimp.

While this is a problem in many countries, many Americans don’t realize that it happens here at home as well. Thousands of children are forced into domestic sex slavery each year and that the average age of entry is 13 years old. The majority of American victims of commercial sexual exploitation tend to be runaway youth who live on the street, often who have left homes where they were abused or abandoned. Pimps prey on their vulnerability. These girls are our neighbors, our friends, our sisters and our daughters.

I have heard human trafficking occurs abroad but how common is it in the United States?

Because human trafficking is an illegal practice, tracking actual numbers is difficult. However, it is a growing domestic problem with estimates of 14,500 to 17,500 foreign nationals, primarily women and children, trafficked into the US every year. Far more are trafficked within the US.

How many American children are trafficked in the U.S. every year?

Between 100,000 and 300,000 American children are at risk for commercial sexual exploitation at any time.

This is LMS way of helping out and we hope you join us in their efforts.
