Before I took Communication 230, I had no idea that I was
going to be involved in a project against sex trafficking in Seattle; I didn’t even
recognize it as a major world-wide issue.
While we were at the phase of forming a group for our final
project, the idea came up from two girls, Monica Vega and Molly Stephens. We
were going to raise awareness to the domestic minor sex trafficking in SeaTac,
and help find supplies for the victims who are in shelters. To be honest, I was
a little hesitant about becoming a member for this group project; because the
name “Sex Trafficking” sounded somewhat unpleasant. However, those early
feelings have been replaced with content. Knowing that I may be of any help to
these victims will make me more than happy. Thanks Monica and Molly!
As I am aware of the problem now, any news about DMST and
its victims catch my attention all the time, unlike before when I had no
recognition of it whatsoever. We select to perceive the information we need and
are interested in, but ignore others that we have no concern with. However, the
future of a young generation should be of everybody’s concern. One of these
victims could have been a family member, a friend or even us! If measures are
not taken there is always likelihood that someone we know may end up in such
situation. These victims don’t choose to be there but are forced into the
business. Many of them want to get out and they can’t do it alone. They need
our help.
Let’s don’t ignore it! Let’s talk about it! Help us raise awareness,
and help us help them!
