Imagine being a young lady with a world of possibilities at your feet. Imagine, with the security of a loving family, entertaining thoughts of one day getting married, having a career, perhaps even making the difference in the lives of others.
And imagine that suddenly you are violently snatched from everything you’ve ever known to be put to work as a sex slave. You are drugged and beaten until you comply. And if you don’t comply, the beatings continue.
Everything you’ve ever known about life is now changed forever. Your innocence gone, any scrap of dignity gone, and all that lay before you is a life of servitude. You accept that, or you are beaten. If you are one of the lucky ones you’ll die during the experience.
Days, months, years blur into a drug affected haze as you accept that no-one is coming, no-one cares. The media dismisses your fate as some whacko conspiracy theory. And those who you’d once thought were there to protect you, well some of those are being paid to look the other way.
In reality this story plays out every day. Some, as you’d suspect, in troubled places on the globe. However, sometimes it’s just down the street from where you live. Sex trafficking, and trafficking in general is currently in epidemic proportions and there’s little being done to combat it.
We here are Liz Schmitt Solutions strive to devote significant resources to the rehabilitation of sex slaves. Those, fortunate enough to be rescued. However being rescued is but part of the solution.
Most rescued sex slaves carry some pretty deep rooted insecurities. Trust issues. Minimal self confidence. And a host more. But, when you think of it, who can blame them? Who’d willingly want to trade places with them? Who’d be able to go through what these girls have been through without walking away with at least some degree of psychological damage?
Sadly, there’s very little in the way of targeted resources for women in this position.
Here at Liz Schmitt Solutions we devote resources to helping some women in need, toward a path of perhaps total rehabilitation and the confidence to eventually return to a somewhat normal life. And a portion of monies spent on this site may be contributed toward this goal.
