The voiceless victims of sex

                                                              The Voiceless Victims of Sexism 

Today Im going to talk about a sex trafficking victim named Jasmine Marina-Fiandaca . Jasmine was miss lead by a 'very 

seductive, very promising' man , it went from wanting to be her boyfriend to beating and intimidating her into slavery for 

the next seven years.Jasmine Marino-Fiandaca was 18 years old and part of a big working-class family in Revere, 

Mass., when she says she was targeted by a man whom she thought was her boyfriend.It wasn't before long, however, that 

manipulation turned into enslavement.She was beaten, intimidated, and ultimately forced to do things she never would have 

dreamed of doing.Her first job — she says she remembers like it was yesterday — was working 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. shifts at a 

massage parlor in Connecticut, every day.The work was admittedly appalling but its quick pay, she said, was exhilarating for 

someone being just 18 years old.That was until her shift ended and that money she made was taken from her.No longer was 

this man caring for her, but controlling her, she realized. This young woman was voiceless , not only was she voiceless she 

was beaten and betrayed but she is not the only one that has been through this . she is a lucky woman because many victims 

of this act are not identified. according tohttp://www.caseact.org/ the Percentage of victims identified: 0.4% (not 

even 1%).  sex trafficking is a global problem and should not be ignored . Her purpose is to tell her 

story so other girls so the same thing will not happen to them . She then had a voice when she shared 

her story.
