SEX SLAVES???? William Joseph Lyons
Why would you want to spend money on a false narrative? The majority of individuals who go online and defend these anti-trafficking organizations who claim to “Rescue” individuals, particularly young girls and children, have never been inside of these so called establishments of exploitation.
So, I ask you, why the defense of these organizations, when you are only hearing their side of the story? Let me be clear, we are not speaking about morality, and we are not speaking about the Christian Faith. These are two very important issues, however, they are separate from the topic at hand. Once again, many anti-trafficking organizations are claiming to rescue young girls and children from establishments where they are being held as sex slaves against their will. This is just NOT TRUE. Human Trafficking happens around the world, let’s begin to fight the real issue, and let’s begin to spend money towards helping individuals who desperately need rescued from their situation.
The reason for the false rhetoric and the distorted narrative is because the Christian Church will give millions to anti-trafficking organizations who will fight for the young girl who are being sexually trafficked. These organizations show pictures, and sexual graphics that make a young girl look like a sex slave. The problem with this is that they are in another country, they come from a different culture, and they do not adhere to so Christian Morality. You see, when an organization attempts to raise millions of dollars by perpetrating a false narrative it does harm to the entire fight against the real issue of Human Trafficking.
If a faith-based organization would use the rhetoric that they are trying to convert these individuals into the Christian Faith, this would be an honest approach. But, if you call these girls who are working in beer bars, sex slaves, this is disingenuous. It does more harm than good. Because, the girl doesn’t want to leave the bar, because she is not enslaved. She is making more money than the average individual in her country, and basically, she enjoys her job. If you have never been in these establishments, you should not defend the false rhetoric of individuals such as, Matt and Laura Parker, of the Exodus Road.
In conclusion, I believe that children are being sexually abused and exploited around the world. I believe Human Trafficking is a scourge upon society. I believe that we must keep up the fight, and the Church has an opportunity and a responsibility to lead the way. But, let’s not fall for the false rhetoric of these Charlton leaders who are making profit, and living a life of luxury. Let’s begin to get deep into the reason these young girls are in the bar in the first place. That reason is to make money. So, if you want to help, invest in economic and educational programs into their hometowns. If you want to go to the bar to convert them, or to explain that they can live a life dignity and worth, by your definition, then by all means do so, however, do not call them sex slaves and do not call the owners of the establishment’s traffickers. These are false narratives and is doing nothing to help women, children and young girls. It is only helping the fake heroes, such as, Matt and Laura Parker.
