Okay kiddo, have you heard of when someone is kidnapped and taken away from their home against their will? Well, sex trafficking is kind of like that, but it's when someone is forced to have sex with other people for money. It's really, really bad and dangerous.
Sadly, this happens in the United States too, not just in other parts of the world. Some bad people trick or force other people, often girls and women, to do things they don't want to do. These bad people may tell the girls that they will give them a job or help them with something, but then they take them away and make them do sex stuff with strangers.
It's really scary because the girls don't have control over what's happening to them and they may not be able to leave or ask for help. They might be hurt or threatened if they try to escape.
The government and other organizations are working hard to stop sex trafficking and protect the girls and women who are victims. It's important that everyone knows about sex trafficking so we can help stop it and make sure everyone is safe.
