The Meaning of Black (Women's & Girl's) History Month

#LynnsWarriors #BlackHistoryMonth #Adultification

It is reported that 40% of sex trafficking victims in the U.S. are Black, 63% of labor trafficking victims are Hispanic and 17% of trafficking victims are Asian. These significant statistics point to a disturbing trend of racial discrimination in human trafficking.

This racial significance in human trafficking is, in part, due to the society that we live in and the history that we have on this continent; specifically, regarding the Black slave trade. Since the beginning of colonization, human trafficking has existed and been profitable in North America. As our society has developed from this dark period in our history, it is easy to believe that slavery, and human trafficking are no longer an issue, and that our history does not influence our treatment of Black communities. However, this is not the case. While there is an overwhelming general rejection of slavery and sex trafficking, the history and false beliefs surrounding racial minorities continue to influence the modern sex trade.
