Sex Slavery

Intro:
Although we may not be directly faced with it everday, sex slavery is all around us and is taking the lives of young women and men everywhere. It leads to not only sexual exploitation, but the spread of disease, violence, and drug use. Through these aspects it is obvious that sex slavery has a destructing effect on society and is hurting both those directly and indirectly involved. Many have stated that sex slavery is a choice and that these women knowingly put themselves in these situations, however, many innocent young women are forced into sex slavery against their will and although there are those that participate in it for their own pleasure, too many of the innocent are effected to let it continue. Something must be done to stop this, whether it is through education, or penalization to those involved, we as a people can take a stand and help the innocent.

Body:
I plan to use my first few paragraphs to explain the different effects that sex slavery has: For one, many other crimes are directly connected with sex slavery. (Drugs, violence, stealing, etc) Each of these need to be addressed in order to help the reader understand how this is effecting society. I also want to explain how oblivious we are as a society, and how many of these things are going on right under our own nose. I have many facts and details to explain where these things are happening, who is using these services, and how many young girls are effected (ages and such). I believe that this will help to support my thesis by stating direct facts and helping the reader to see the bigger picture of how this is effecting society as a whole. (I have many statistics, but to include them all would take up a lot of room. I will provide statistics on how old many of these girls are, the social environments that they come from, why they are affected, the people who are involved ( a.k.a pimps, johns) and what social environment they come from... I have statistics for all of these things. :) )

In my following paragraphs I plan to use real accounts from girls that have been forced (both in outside and inside the U.S) to be sex slaves. I have watched many episodes and different documentaries on women who have been effected and I know that it has helped educate me about this issue and I believe that this will also help to educate my reader. It gives details as to what these women went through, and the different criminal acts that they were forced to be apart of.

I also want to provide information about what this is doing to the girls themselves, and the destruction that they endure both physically and mentally. This is important to understand because these women have survived a significant distrubing event and many times they have been so damaged that they take their own lives or participate in criminal behavior because they have no way out. This supports my thesis because it shows that many times these women cannot be a functional part of society because they have been so disturbed, and need at least to be counseled to help them through this terrible event.

Conclusion:
In my conclusion I plan to provide ways how that this can be stopped. (E.x education, punishment for those involved, punsihing those who are found accountable for hurting these young women, punish the johns, etc.) I would also like to give a few more facts and finally to adress that if we become educated and take a stand to help these women, we can make a difference to both those directly involved, and our entire society.
