I believe it is a combination of both. I have worked with a few girls who say they get dropped off by their pimp in the morning and then at the end of the day they are walking out and handing their money over. When we look at strip joints, these are designed to sell sex, which people are going in and buying, and paying for this. I mean, if you have a strip joint that says “new girls every day”, that's not where someone says, “I have a job working 40 hours a week, and I'm going in there because it's my choice”. Those are people being trafficked through different organizations. One young lady said, “I had a choice: I could be a dancer or I could be an escort. I chose to be an escort because of the people who would call to purchase the escorting. A lot of times, my friends—you know, just the boys—could be showing up at a strip joint, and I would be there, dancing in front of them. It would be more public, for them to know.”
So we know there is a combination of both that is happening, but when I look at victims in general, or people who are being trafficked, if they don't know the services that are out there, how do we legislate? In every organization you own or work for, you have to have health and safety. You have to have posters everywhere about violence against women and domestic violence. Maybe it's time to look at our legislation that way and how we are going to hit every organization. Whether they are in a hotel, in a hospital, or working for the government, being trafficked in the evenings, they would at least have this in front of them so that they know.
