The Truth About Human Trafficking on Planet Earth (statistics gathered by EnergeticSynthesis.com)

As a seasoned psychotherapist, I have heard the horrors of child sexual abuse and ritual abuse, but I had a wake-up call in 2020 to the bigger horror of Child and Human Trafficking. This is a world-wide multi-billion dollar business, and along with the sale of drugs and weapons. I believe that our awareness and resolve to end Human and Child Trafficking is a central issue to humanity’s liberation. Keep in mind that this issue has been minimally covered by the mainstream narrative, and goes deeper and wider than we could ever imagine. Understanding this topic will allow you to traverse the upcoming shift with less shock, more presence, and make you more available to assist others who will have difficulties with the truths that are now emerging into our awareness.

More Facts about Human Trafficking

  • Researchers note that sex trafficking plays a major role in the spread of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases.
  • There are an estimated 27 million adults and 13 million children around the world who are victims of human trafficking.
  • Human traffickers often use a Sudanese phrase “use a slave to catch slaves,” meaning traffickers send “broken-in girls” to recruit younger girls into the sex trade. Sex traffickers often train girls themselves, raping them and teaching them sex acts.
  • Human trafficking not only involves sex and labor, but people are also trafficked for organ harvesting.

  • A human trafficker can earn 20 times what he or she paid for a girl. Provided the girl was not physically brutalized to the point of ruining her beauty, the pimp could sell her again for a greater price because he had trained her and broken her spirit, which saves future buyers the hassle. A 2003 study in the Netherlands found that, on average, a single sex slave earned her pimp at least $250,000 a year.
  • Although human trafficking is often a hidden crime and accurate statistics are difficult to obtain, researchers estimate that more than 80% of trafficking victims are female. Over 50% of human trafficking victims are children.

  • Most human trafficking in the United States occurs in New York, California and Florida.
  • Human traffickers often target young victims via the Internet, digital apps and cell phones.

For example, a 10-year-old named Gita was sold into a brothel by her aunt. The now 22-year-old recalls that when she refused to work, the older girls held her down and stuck a piece of cloth in her mouth so no one would hear her scream as she was raped by a customer. She would later contract HIV.

  • Many times, if a sex slave is arrested, she is imprisoned while her trafficker is able to buy his way out of trouble.
