Description

When you see a woman who fits your idea of a prostitute walking down the street, what do you think? Do you put blinders on and not think about it all? Do you think, “She’s doing what she has to do to support herself.” Or do you think, like most people, that she’s out there selling sex simply to support drug habit? Do you ever consider another possibility? That maybe she’s out there on that street corner because someone is forcing her to sell sex? Did you know that 90% of women who sell sex on the street are sex trafficking victims or survivors? That they either started selling sex as teenagers or have been forced to sell sex by someone else? Today we are going to talk with one such sex trafficking survivor, who lives in a rundown hotel along the famous Route 66 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. On the street she is called “Vicious.” With her long straight hair and petite build she looks anything but. Yet she would be the first to tell you that as a woman on the street, you have more than a little vicious to survive. MUSIC Loveless1017, "Dangerous World"
