In the Canadian Bill of Rights it states “The Parliament of Canada, affirming that the Canadian Nation is founded upon principles that acknowledge the supremacy of God, the dignity and worth of the human person and the position of the family in a society of free men and free institutions”.
As a society, we must make it clear that our Children and Women are sacred, and not commodities that can be purchased.
The Pornographic Industry is an activity that degrades, dehumanizes, enslaves abuses, silences and kills women and children. This has no place in a democratic country that starts it’s Bill of Rights and Freedoms talking about the dignity and worth of the human person.
Pornography and Human Trafficking - The Money
The availability of pornography on the Internet has boosted the industry to extraordinary financial heights. On Joni Lamb's Porn Series, the host stated that $3,000 is spent every second on porn in the U.S. alone. Thirty thousand people are viewing porn every second. Every 30 minutes a new porn movie is made. Internet search on the word "porn" returns 200 million sites.
The porn industry is a $93 billion a year business. Time Warner, CBS, Verizon, Comcast, and other telecommunication and media corporations earn over $1 billion a year from pornography through services, like video on demand. Human trafficking is a $10 billion a year business and most of that money comes from forced sexual activity.
The Relationship Between Pornography and Human Trafficking - The Bottom Line. Minors can be dressed to look like they are 18 years of age. Being dressed to look older doesn't make them older. A movie caption that says, “ all performers are over the age of 18”, doesn't make it true. Adult women who have smiles and sparkling eyes as a sweaty stranger is between her legs, are not enjoying what he's doing; this is called acting. Don't be deceived by the false image that porn actresses are forced to portray. Human trafficking victims are trained to look and act a certain way while posing for photographs, performing on camera, or servicing customers in a private setting.
No matter what the circumstances are, pornography hurts innocent people. Pornography makes Human Trafficking a supply and demand business. Viewers demand to watch sex and human traffickers supply it.
