I was looking up some statistics on juvenile detention centers when I came across this chart from the Department of Justice. It lists crime categories, and among other things, what percentage of those arrested for each crime category were female. It also only lists offenses committed by minors. I scrolled through, and noticed that in every category females accounted for less than 50% of arrests, except for one in which females were a whopping 69% of arrests. Which category, you ask? What was the singular category in which females are overrepresented?

Oh, just FUCKING PROSTITUTION.

I was so confused, at first I thought I made a mistake and was looking at adult arrests. Criminalizing and arresting prostituted people of any age is abhorrent, but I figured surely no one with a brain could justify arresting a child for being abused, right? Right?

Wrong. According to this data, in the US in 2019, nearly 300 minors were arrested for the "crime" of being sexually abused. 14% of those arrested were age 14 or younger. I then did some more research and discovered this information, provided by Shared Hope International:

As of the most recent SHI report, only 10 out of 50 US states have comprehensive safe harbor laws for sexually exploited prostituted minors. 28 out of 50 states have fully or partially comprehensive safe harbor laws. That means in 22 states, minors can still be criminalized for experiencing sexual abuse and trafficking. Not to mention the significant lack of states providing affirmative defense, which would help protect victims who harm or kill their abusers and traffickers. These laws and lack of protections are harmful to all victims of child trafficking, but especially target Black girls, who are incredibly vulnerable to childhood sex trafficking.

This information is honestly some of the most disgusting information I've ever learned. I did some more research into what can be done to help change this, this page from Shared Hope International seems like a good place to start. It helps you contact your governor, state legislators, and federal legislators in support of safe harbor laws, as well as other pieces of legislation meant to protect victims. Please, those of you in the US, take a moment out of your day and contact your representatives. Rights4girls also is doing some incredible work in this area, so check them out and maybe donate if you can. If anyone knows of any other charities that address this, especially ones outside of the US, please share them too. No child should EVER be arrested for being abused.

Prostitution and the sex industry as a whole is a direct reflection of how males view women - as sex toys, fleshlights to be fucked, disposed off and kept at the bottom of society. In a patriarchal society, prostitutes will never gain any respect and they are looked down upon for a reason.

Girls from foster care may be overrepresented among sex trafficking victims due to vulnerabilities such as lack of stable support systems, history of abuse, and a desire for belonging. Grooming involves manipulative tactics to establish trust and control, making individuals more susceptible to exploitation.

Similarly, girls from foster care may be overrepresented in homeless statistics due to factors like aging out of the system without adequate support, experiencing abuse within foster care, and lacking family resources.

Referring to sex trafficking victims as "sex workers" is inappropriate, especially when underage, because it inaccurately implies a choice and ignores the coercion, force, or manipulation involved. Many victims, especially those with histories in the child welfare system, enter the sex industry involuntarily.

The term "sex work" can be deceptive as it implies a voluntary choice, while victims of sex trafficking often face circumstances beyond their control. Recognizing the coercion and exploitation involved is crucial to addressing the issue appropriately.

Sex Trade. NOT “Sex work”.

The woman who coined the term ‘‘sex work’’ is an anti-communist, bourgeoise, white, liberal & privileged woman who opposed her parents’ socialist beliefs. She described sex trade as ‘empowering’, ‘thrilling’ and ‘exciting’. “But is sex trade not a job like any other?!” While I do believe in supporting its workers, the abuse, rape, robbery, trafficking & murder in the sex industry cannot be compared to any other job.
