Pornography is big business in many parts of the world today, mostly patronized by youths who desperately need an "opium" for their
lack of sex. In countries like Japan and U.S.A we have pornography
industries worth billions of dollars but they would not tell you that
these billions are made at the expense of people’s lives and future.
The following are quotes from Ark of Hope for children on child
trafficking and how pornography aids it.
"When a child has been recruited,
transported, harbored, or received
and some commercial element is
introduced in the production of child
pornography, then that individual
has also engaged in child trafficking.
Whether they work in strip clubs or
sweatshops, these boys and girls are
victims of human trafficking.
"The Trafficking Victims Protection
Act (TVPA) defines “severe forms of
trafficking in persons” as: sex
trafficking in which a commercial sex
act is induced by force, fraud, or
coercion, or in which the person
induced to perform such an act has
not attained 18 years of age.
"The economic reality is that
human trafficking is driven by profits.
If nobody paid for sex, sex trafficking
would not exist."
The truth is that as we watch porn, we create traffic on porn sites
thus generating more money for these people to continue female
trafficking and assault. Many of these people are forced to have
unprotected sex while acting porn and in the process contact STDs. Just
by visiting these porn sites, we are paying for people to have STDs.
But of course nobody cares because it is good for business.
Also the exponential increase in leaked videos has become a growing
sore as it leads people to sell their friends', classmates’, neighbors',
nude photos to porn sites just to earn money. And what could be the
outcome of this? The person who has her nudes exposed would become extremely
depressed and in some cases commit suicide just like the case of
Tovonna Holtan from Florida, Benedicta Yeboah from Ghana, Nahnah
Abynah from Ghana, etc.
So the sequence is simple: we watch porn, help them generate traffic,
they earn money and destroy the lives of several women just to earn
more money. Say no to pornography.
