*Real advocates will help you and get you to safey. False advocates don't give you SAFE results. So be sure that your advocate is giving results that has you SAFE & the atmosphere your being placed in will be SAFE also.
Please know when reporting any of these behaviors you can remain anoymous. Remember it's not just one persons job but it involves the community and that means if you know, see or hear a person being abused or is trafficked. It's your Duty to report it the victims are depending on Y.O.U.
In the world someone is being abused every minute. Many of the victims are abused by their partners. Many are women but men are also ending up being victims as well.
What is domestic abuse? This can be a disruptive behavior that includes physically harming another person, shouting or yelling at a person to the point they're in fear of you. With holding money, or isolating a person.
Being manipulative and controlling a person. Holding a person hostage, preventing them to call for help or leaving all these are domestic abusive behaviors.
Let's take a look at some known abusive behaviors
*Emotional Abuse-
Isolating one from friends & their loved ones.
Criticizing everything one does and belittling using obscenities & profanities.
Damaging one from a relationship with their kids.
Monitoring a person in where they go & how often or how long one should be gone.
Whenever you leave your abuser expects you to ask permission, being jealous and pretty much controlling you or your life are all emotional abusive behaviors.
*Psychological Abuse
Mind games
Intimidation using bully tactics over the victime. Acting muncho and tough guy to scare the victim.
Threatening to do harm or destroy property the victim has. Threatening to harm their loved ones if the victim tells about the abuse to someone.
Isolating one from friends & their loved ones
*Economic or Financial abuse
Keeping the victim from money or means to leave the abusive relationship.
Not allowing one to work to make money to leave or achieve goals or attend church or school.
*Physical Abuse-
Hitting, shoving and pushing the victim. Punching, kicking and keeping one from seeking proper medical care. Damaging telephones to stop one from commuicating or any ways of communication.
Any force to the victim is physical abuse.
So I’m in a domestic abusive relationship. How do I get out?
Getting out of a domestic abusive relationship isn’t easy especially if the person is the one who has the fianancial say in the relationship or marriage. It can be hard but let me tell you it’s no reason to remain in that relationship.
From experience you can leave and to leave you have to make the decision that you're not accepting the abuse anymore. There is HELP and there are advocates who can help see that you're somewhere safe. You won’t need money right away, get yourself safe and once you're safe. You can get the help to gain back your independance the numbers provided in this episode is a start.
Because everyday someone is losing their life to domestic violence it’s real and you have to get out.
Abusers see only one way and that is to abuse even if your being sexually abused it’s wrong.
Human trafficking is wrong your abuser deserves prison time and will do prison time for the abuse that is caused. It’s wrong and no one deserves to be held in bondage to abuse or sexually abused.
What is Human Trafficking?
Recruiting, or Transporting one forcefully to perform some type of sexual act. Including holding one hostage against their will forcefully engaging them to do some type of sexual act in exchange for money.
If someone is having you sell or trade your body for items or money, to pay off debts or use you to make them money. It's wrong and it’s against the law to do that to any woman, Man or Child. If a person isn’t selling themselves or placing themselves in that situation then they are breaking the law by placing another person in that position. It’s against the law!!
And it’s wrong for every street pimp, every fitness gym or spa or nail salon, including restaurants to harbor victims of labor trafficking, ( working in places without getting paid, mainly those from foreign countries) just a few known businesses to harbor trafficking activity of Innocent Young Men & Young Women.
When will it stop?
When will a mother stop crying because her son or daughter isn’t coming home because of being held hostage to a trafficker or pimp??
It’s wrong and not enough is being done. If you see a young man walking into a fitness gym in girl’s short shorts what do you think he is going in there for? Or young lady? Not to work out, for those within the community open your eyes These are someones kids. Our kids, Could be your son or daughter or mother, brother.
In the United States Alone there are 15,000 to 50,000 women & children forced into sexual slavary every year and unknowinly of the young men forced.
There have been 176 HUMAN TRAFFICKING cases in the state I reside in, seems low compared to that of California, Texas & Florida. But that's just from cases reported in the beginning of 2022.
End the statistics resulting in no new cases and It starts not only with authorities to resolve this issue but it starts with the Community. Lets end Abuse In both Domestic, Labor & Human trafficking.
Yes it’s all abuse and it’s wrong.
IT is not right to sell or make money off children or any one?
It’s against the law and it’s a felony…….
If you're in an abusive relationship or are being trafficked you're not the one doing the wrong. It’s your abuser who is in the wrong. They know better but greed is what they're running after.
It’s not your fault and you're not doing anything wrong. Please know what their doing to you is wrong and know there are people who are fighting not just for you but with you.
It's time we fight for our youths for their future and for them to know their bodies are sacred, no one should violate it in any way. No means No and that includes Adults.
