Language and Perceptions about Domestic Sex Trafficking Pt. 2. Missed Part 1? Read “What Do You Really Think?”
Traffickers aren’t the only culpable ones. Let’s not play the scapegoating game, because that lulls us into a false sense of innocence. Last year, I discovered that I had unknowingly supported the slave trade: my coffee selection and favorite shirt were the offenders.
Introspection is one of the keys to ending trafficking. Don’t just rage against pimps without checking your own tendencies. Examine whether your habits may be contributing to the problem, ranging from what you purchase to consumption of pornography. If they are, don’t wallow in guilt; make the needed changes and tell others about it!
Being an anti-trafficking advocate doesn’t mean just avoiding derogatory words or memorizing statistics. Those are important, but I’m learning that it is so much more than mere lip service. It requires a full buy-in, prompting us to question our motives, expectations, and perceptions because we care so deeply for those affected.
