Redemption in Sin City



Statistics of Prositution

The sex industry is a sad world, full of broken dreams, battered, shattered, sexually abused women, men and children. It is destroying our families, it is causing alarming divorce rates, teen pregnancies, STDs-AIDS, drug usage, not to mention altered views of what sex really means!

Buckle your seatbelts, here below are the stats on prostitution in the United States.

AGE FACTORS

* Average age of entry: 14-16 yrs
* Average mean age: 31
* Average years in prostitution: 11
* Percent younger than age 18 at entry: 42 percent


VIOLENCE IN PROSTITUTION

Traumatized individuals tend to minimize or deny their experiences, especially when they are in the midst of ongoing trauma, such as war combat or prostitution. This leads to a decreased rate of reporting violent crimes. Please understand these girls are afraid of their pimps, and if they told everything that is actually going on behind closed doors, they fear violent retaliation from the pimp or death. I can personally relate to this myself!

* Threatened with a weapon: 78 percent
* Physically assaulted: 82 percent
* Raped: 82 percent

Many women in this business are confused of the definition of rape. If rape is as unwanted sex act or coerced, then the statistic would be a much higher percentage. Some women in prostitution assume there is no difference between prostitution and rape, and they only call it rape if they were not paid, regardless of the violence of the act—asking them is like asking someone in a combat zone if they are under fire. A significant percentage of women currently prostituting deny rape and other violence because it would be too stressful to acknowledge the extreme danger posed by johns and pimps!

* Raped more than five times: 73 percent
* Current or past homelessness: 84 percent
* As a child, was hit or beaten by a caregiver until injured or bruised: 49 percent
* Sexually abused as a child: 65-95 percent
