And it's, it's heartbreaking to see these healthy young girls now end up where they are being sold and abused and raped.

And I wish people would recognize it.

We call them prostitutes.

We call them escorts.

They're rape victims.

They're being forced to have sex with men against their will.

And I think another piece that people don't recognize and understand is what that lever is that the traffickers use is something of high value, relational value to that other girl.

So a pimp will have a stable of five to six girls.

That's by design.

It diversifies his product so he can have different girls, size, shapes, colors, whatever, do different things.

He can control it.

It's enough of his locus of control, five or six girls.

But most importantly, he builds a family with these girls.

He builds a relationship.

They call each other sister wives.

They call him daddy.

So he builds this relationship where they're codependent on each other.

You're the sister I never had.

You're the daddy I never had, however it works.

So now when one of these girls is compelled to go out and conduct a sex act with a buyer, if she doesn't do what the trafficker wants her to do, he can beat one of those other girls.
