Human Trafficking

After reading this article I was shocked that such things still happen in the world today. I knew that slavery still existed in parts of the world and knew very little about the sex trade, but after reading in detail the experience of the young girls from Vietnam, it saddens me that these girls are being tricked into the sex trade. What shocks me more is that some families are willing to give over their daughters to the sex trade for money. I could see there families being poor but that doesn't mean they have to solve their problems in a difficult and in a hard way, where they have to sacrifice their children. I see it as torture and sadness for their lives.
