This poem is part of the series on the Global Exploitation of women.
Sex trafficking is human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation, including sexual slavery. Sex trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery in which individuals perform commercial sex through the use of force, fraud, or coercion.Minors under the age of 18 engaging in commercial sex are considered to be victims of Child Sex Trafficking.
Sex trafficking is an industry making an estimated $99 billion a year.
- At least 20.9 million adults and children are bought and sold worldwide into commercial sexual servitude, forced labor, and bonded labor.
- About 2 million children are exploited every year in the global commercial sex trade.
She was snatched from the
warm embrace of her mother
joy rides from her father
from her cradle of innocence
naked
she stands now
stripped of her emotions
Baring her
broken and shattered soul
at every lecherous eye
and fornicated look
she is a grown up
woman
too early too soon
Her pretty little dolls have
scratches on her face
and stained with the
memories of the
dark moon
Her pure soul
is still denying the
blisters on her body
she still can’t believe her ears
when people call her whore
Licking her wounds every day
and dolled up for the night
she is got pretty good
at hiding her sores
The dream of that
fairytale prince and
the first time
rapturous kiss
has been shattered
so many time
more
She still has the faint memories
of the sun
drenching her face
jumps in the puddle
to scare away those frogs
But no matter how much she
screams and screeches
her reality is slowly
turning into the
a living nightmare
she abhors.
