New bill on sex trafficking misses the mark

Delilah Gray April 3, 2018

"In the United States alone, 8,524 sex trafficking cases and 26,557 calls to the National Human Trafficking Hotline were reported in 2017, nearly doubling in the last five years. The government has recently been putting an effort to end sex trafficking, with the newest bill called the “Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act,” or FOSTA. But like anything our government does, controversy ensues more than any progress. In my opinion, while it’s fantastic that they’re trying to abolish sex slavery, this bill isn’t going to solve the main problems."
