Expert: Child traffickers target runaways,

Police say Shaniya Davis, 5, was sold into prostitution by
her mother.

Who killed
5-year-old Shaniya Davis? Her mother is charged with human trafficking, and
many questions remain about what happened. Watch "Nancy Grace" as she
digs deeper, tonight at 8 on HLN.
(CNN) -- It sounds like the plot of a crime drama or the scourge of a
developing country, but human trafficking is a serious problem in the
The case of Antoinette Nicole Davis, a
Polaris Project, a nonprofit organization that studies human trafficking,
has more frequently seen cases in which children were sold by family members
"out of desperation in developing countries" such as Cambodia or
sub-Saharan African nations, said executive director and CEO Mark Lagon.
"But it happens sometimes here," he said.
More common in the
"The trafficker plays the role of a father or loverboy who is offering
care to the child, who is vulnerable," he said, explaining that what
begins as flattery and attention often turns to suggestions of prostitution.
The child, typically homeless and in need of
food and shelter, can be manipulated into "survival sex," Lagon said.
In other instances, the trafficker or pimp will get the child hooked on drugs
and use their addiction as leverage.
Named for the North Star that guided slaves along the Underground Railroad,
Polaris Project works to stamp out the global trade in humans.
Lagon, formerly the State Department's director of the Office to Monitor and
Combat Trafficking in Persons, said it's a tough fight because there is a
dearth of "good statistics" on human trafficking and it's not a crime
in which victims readily come forward.
But the news is replete with reports on major rings being busted. The FBI
did not return messages to discuss human trafficking, but news releases from
the agency's Innocence Lost initiative show that in the past 18 months, four
stings -- dubbed Operations Cross Country I, II, III and IV -- have yielded
about 2,300 arrests and the recovery of about 170 children.
"We may not be able to return their innocence, but we can remove them
from this cycle of abuse and violence," FBI Director Robert Mueller said
in a statement after a February bust.
Specific examples also abound. In August, two bar owners and a manager in
Long Island, New York, were charged with sex trafficking and alien harboring
with victims as young as 17. A few days later, a husband and wife in
In September, a U.S. Army private and three other men were indicted on
charges of running a sex-trafficking businesses from a Millersville,
No pleas have been entered in the
While prostitution is a common impetus for trafficking children, Lagon said
there are numerous examples of young men and women being forced into domestic
servitude. Many times, he said, those victims are sexually abused as well.
This is something that deserves
decades in prison.
--Mark Lagon, Polaris Project executive director and CEO
Though statistics on the depth of domestic trafficking are difficult to
ascertain, the
The average age of a female victim's first involvement in prostitution,
according to the study, was between 12 and 14.
"That, shockingly, means a number get in when they're incredibly young,
and that's all the more horrifying," Lagon said.
Lagon said he was impressed with federal initiatives and believes "it's
great the FBI has more and more focused on trying to save prostituted children
as sex trafficking victims."
The only caveat to his praise, he said, is a concern that adults swept up in
raids are sometimes charged as prostitutes when they, too, may have been
subjected to coercion or pulled into the trade as minors.
The onus is on society and government to stop the trafficking of American
children, he said. Citizens should pay attention to signals that something is
amiss with a child and be careful not to "sneer or stigmatize" when
they see a prostituted teen.
Government, meanwhile, should toughen its punishments for child trafficking
and more actively target the "johns" and pimps who make the trade
possible, according to Lagon.
"That person has to be punished like they've committed
a crime akin to slavery. This is something that deserves decades in
prison," he said.

The following is a
letter to send to your congressman to support the International Violence
Against Women Act.
Dear Congress,
We call on you to support the International Violence Against
Women Act (I-VAWA), a groundbreaking piece of legislation that would
incorporate and make consistent efforts to reduce violence against women and
girls in
Violence against women is a cause of poverty and a huge
barrier to women's economic opportunity - it can keep women from getting an
education, working, and earning the income they need to lift their families out
of poverty. Moreover, research has shown that giving women in poor countries
economic opportunity empowers them to escape and prevent violent situations. In
By promoting women's economic opportunity, addressing
violence against girls in school, encouraging legal reform, working to change
public attitudes, and supporting health programs and survivor services,
especially in crisis situations, the I-VAWA could have a huge impact on
improving the effectiveness of our foreign assistance programs and reducing
poverty.
Women in poor countries already face enough barriers to
lifting their families out of poverty. Violence should not be one of them.
Please join us in supporting women's opportunity worldwide by supporting the
International Violence Against Women Act.
Sincerely,

was going on, more people came to see, and some actually participated,"
Gagan said.
"We have checked Facebook and YouTube to try to find any revealing
evidence," he said. "We're looking in particular to see if anyone
posted any video of the incident."
The victim was found unconscious and "brutally assaulted" under a
bench shortly before midnight Saturday, after police received a call from
someone in the area who had overheard people at the assault scene
"reminiscing about the incident," Gagan said.
"This just gets worse and worse the more you dig into

Grace Ushang’s Death and the Indecent Dressing Bill
by Asma’u Joda & Iheoma Obibi
Grace Ushang was a young Nigerian woman who had every right to expect a bright future. Now she is dead merely because she was female.
On the day that Nigeria celebrated its 49th Independence Anniversary on 1 October 2009, NEXT Newspaper reported that Ms. Ushang from Obudu in Cross River State, a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) serving in Maiduguri, Borno State, was raped to death by some men still at large, who, according to the story, “took offence because she was wearing her Khaki trousers – the official uniform of the youth corpers.”

Ignored by
society, Afghan dancing boys suffer centuries-old tradition
By Atia Abawi, CNN
October 26, 2009 7:43 p.m. EDT
The bells on his feet chime away, mimicking the entertainment and sexual
appeal of female dancers. But there is no mistaking his pubescent body and face
as he concentrates, focusing on every step in order to please his master and
his master's guests.
The boy is but one youth among many throughout the country forced into an
age-old underground tradition known as "bacha bazi," or "boy
play," in which young boys are taken from their families, made to dance
and used as sex slaves by powerful men. The number of boys involved is unknown
-- the practice has been going on for centuries, in a country where such
practices are overshadowed by conflict and war.
It is widely known among the population that, most of the time it is commanders,
high-ranking officials and their friends who partake in the abuse of the boys.
In Afghan society the victims of rape and assault --- both male and female
--- are often persecuted and punished rather than the perpetrator. The shame
forces boys to continue in leading such lifestyles, even when they have the
chance to break away.
One boy said that he was taken from a party by four police officers one
night and almost gang raped at the station Before their commander walked in and
stopped the assault. But then, "He said if I wanted to be set free I
should give him my money and my mobile," he said. "I had no real
choice, so I gave him my money and mobile."

A tiny girl moans in agony. Her body is a patchwork of raw sores. Six year old

Accidents happen on a regular basis. But with over 80% of Guatemalans living on

Afghan Women Hiding For Their
Lives
By Atia Abawi 9/24/09

Nearly 90 percent of Afghan
women suffer from domestic abuse, according to the U.N.
Still traumatized, she
recounts the events that led her to a safe house in
She was raped and nearly
stabbed to death by her husband just seven days before we met her.
Her lips are quivering and
her eyes full of fear.
"He forced himself on
me," she said. "All I could do was scream."
She was married off 15 years
ago when she was a teenager.
Throughout those years she
was tortured and abused, suffering daily beatings with an electrical wire or
the metal end of a hammer.
This was her normal life.
"He chased after me with
a hammer. He said if I made any noise he would put holes through me,"
Shameen said.
Shameen and her husband could
not conceive a child. And in Afghan society, it seems, the blame always falls
on the woman.
After one severe beating, she
ran from her home and to the police station. Her husband promised the police he
would not attack her anymore, so she gave in and agreed to go back home with
him.
Days later, Shameen's husband
took her on a trip to visit her sister's grave -- a 15-year-old sister who was
burned to death for displeasing her husband.
Shameen says her younger
sister was 11 years old when she was forced to marry an older man. He would
beat and abuse her until one day he killed her.
As Shameen walked along the
graveyard with her husband he took her near a shrine where he forced her to the
ground, lifted her burqa and raped her. He then threatened her with a knife and
asked her who was going to help her now. She was screaming as he slashed her
throat and body.
A passerby saved her.

Rape is painful, humiliating, soul destroying
event. It is devastating for a grown woman; an adult who has had previous
sex. It is deplorable beyond words to think that a child suffers the
savage rape when their tiny bodies are not yet grown. What is the
answer? What is the question? Where do we begin as more and more of
our precious children and women are defiled?
This site was created to honor the precious
creation of women and children. It is not to say that men are not equally
as precious, because for the most part, they are. I encourage a man of courage
to stand up for the good caring men of the world. But one can not give
due diligence to the subject if a focus is not created. And our focus is
women and children.
We need to replace the horrible darkness of
abuse with light! The stories will be told to cleanse the wound, to allow
the virulent pus to drain so that the body, mind, and spirit can be healed.
We want to create a safe haven for the
children - it is their birthright - their mother's obligation, either through
personal care or adopting them out to a loving home. There is no reason
for the abuse of our children. There is no reason for abuse of
women. We have but once to walk through the earth in this body - make it
the best for yourself, your loved ones and for all you touch.
This site is designed to be a voice for
women, offering understanding, hope and healing, not just for ourselves but for
our children,our husbands, our mothers, our sisters...anyone who has been touched
by the anger and hate toward this beautiful, gentle resource that God blessed
the earth with.

even realizing you have done it. I hope you've learned a lesson from this and
