‘’Are we meant to be protected or exploited’’
How are you meant to feel safe if the people that are meant to protects us decides to get involved in sexual exploitation?

Yes people we are talking about the horrors of sexual exploitation! It has been reported that hundreds of police officers were accused for using their position to sexually exploit people including the victims of crime. What has the world come to? It gives me cold shivers when I think about it.
Many would say that we are basically letting ourselves for this to occur and say that we were foolish, drunk, prostitutes and trouble makers. What about vulnerable, confused and scared?
What about taking a moment and thinking that no one deserves to go through this as it could hurt one’s feelings and this could actually leave a deep scar inside them. Is there justice to this?
Sexual demands are often made to women and they are treated like objects, This should end as men are taking advantage of a women just to satisfy their 2 minute pleasure but what about stopping for a moment and thinking that women shouldn't be treated like a toy but to think that they are also humans and that they also have feelings.
The damage that is caused to those who are sexually exploited can be a life long trauma. There is also many who went through some difficulties trying to process what had happened to them and not everyone's takes it well they ended up harming themselves with drugs and alcohol and even committing suicide.
I believe that our society is completely ignoring the fact of how many women in the world that is going through sexual exploitation in their daily lives. As a women I believe that the society to encourage women to come out and to share their experience with everyone and to support them throughout as not many women comes out of their closet and they try to keep it as a secret.
I have a friend she went through something that no girl would ever imagine. She was around 13 then and she was going home after school. She was in the public transport and she was alone at the top of the bus. A old man came and sat right next to her and said that she looked beautiful. she found it weird and she decided to get off a stop before her usual get off point and the old man got off too.
He was holding a piece of paper and he asked her if she could help him with the direction and she looked over the paper and he grabbed her breasts and tried to kiss her. She struggled and she got off him and she was shouting for help but no one bothered to stop and ask her.
Ever since then she went through some tough times and she didn't tell anyone about it until she met me. This is a story of a 13 year old who had no idea that this would have happened to her and she’s been living with this bad memory until the present moment.
WHY IS PEOPLE IGNORING WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS HELP ?
What has the world come to! What would you do if this is your daughter, your sister or even a friend? If a random stranger can get away with this what about the police?
TAKE A MOMENT AND THINK BECAUSE YOU CAN MAKE A CHANGE.
