Did you know that more than 20 million people are trafficked throughout the world, for both commercial sex and labor?

Human Trafficking is a reality and affects us all!

As an escort you must pay extra-attention when choosing the escort agency you are going to work with and also when screening your clients if you are working as an independent escort.

Also, you must know the differences between working as an escort and offering your services as a sex traffic victim.

What Sex Trafficking Is:

Sex trafficking is the recruitment, harboring, transportation of a person for the purpose of forced commercial sex.

Don’t forget that human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery! The victims of sex traffic are subjected to sexual exploitation through force, fraud and coercion. Those victims are physical, emotional and psychological abused.

Be informed and don’t let yourself be impressed by the false dreams of a great life and easy money that some, so called agents, will try to sell to you!

So dear escorts, remember our advice when choosing an escort agency you want to work with:

1. Do your homework and search all the references on every escort agency on the market. Go on forums and read all the reviews from both the clients and the escorts. The reviews are subjective but can still make you form an opinion on the matter.

2. Go for  the agencies that spend their advertising budgets trying to attract new clients, not for the agencies that are marketing to escorts.

In the escort business in rare occasions the escort demand is higher than the offer.

The reality is usually the opposite – the agencies have their selected escorts and are in constant search for new clients.

3.  Call the agency in advance to see if they are still in business. Keep in mind that most agencies conduct face to face interviews, rather than just asking for pictures via e-mail.

Also, when going to an interview you can see the place and the people – where it’s located, how it looks inside, how are those working there. In this way you can avoid having to deal with dubious agencies.

4. Don’t fall in the “easy money” dream that many shady escort agencies like to sell in order to attract credulous, young ladies. Escorting it’s a business and one day you can make a lot of money while the next day you can have zero clients.

5.  Also, read all you can about what being an escort means, in order to know if you are really meant for this or not. If you know what escorting is, you are less prone to fall into the scam of human trafficking.

Advise for independent escorts

• If you go to an outcall it is better not to drink from an open bottle; accept only sealed drinks.
• Also you should text a friend the address, hour and name of the client, so that if you run late someone knows where you went.
• Another advice for escorts that accept outcalls is to always run a background check of the client, by looking into the escort blacklists that exists on the Internet.
• You are also advised to complete the blacklists with info, when you run into a bad client.

4.     The “Top Girl” Pressure

The Peer Pressure consists in recruiting young girls with the help of a “bottom bitch” – the top girl of a trafficker. This top girl lures the young girl into trafficking by picturing a fake, ideal scenario where the “daddy” pays for clothes, hair and nails. Then the young girl is introduced to the trafficker.

The Escort Industry vs. The Sex Trafficking Business

Although those are two different activities, often the media and the public opinion tend to mix them together.

But, while the sex trafficking industry is violent and exploitative towards its victims, the escort industry is formed from women that pursue escorting as a profession, a career that they choose to have.

The victims of human sex trafficking don’t get to make their own choices, instead they are threatened with violence, drugs and emotional tactics to perform a sexual act. They are taken from their homes and stripped of their identification and money.
Vs.
The people involved in the escort business get to choose to have this career. The decision is conscious and deliberate.    

    The victims of sex trafficking are inexperienced and sometimes taken at a very fragile age. They can’t take care of themselves and perform the sexual activity under threat and for little money.

Vs.

The escorts are sophisticated ladies, able to offer both companionship and sexual delights. They work with and escort agency or as independent escorts, and they can turn down clients that are aggressive or disrespectful.

3.    

        The sex trafficking victims are forced to accept every client that is given to them, without any screening at all.

Vs.

For the high class escorts the screening process is very important, in order to find out if the client does not raise a security concern.

The new client is checked by his full name, employment and address and only after the security check is clean the escort goes and meets the client.

Here is a list of the most common trafficking terms used by those practicing this illegal business:

Automatic – the victim’s routine when the pimp is out of town or in jail.

Bottom – the female appointed by the trafficker to supervise the others and to report rule violations. The Bottom is the right hand of a pimp and can instruct victims, book hotel rooms, post ads and collect money.

Branding – a tattoo on a victim that indicates ownership by a trafficker.

Caught a Case – a term that refers to the fact that a pimp has been arrested.

Romeo Pimp/Finesse Pimp – a pimp that offers affection and gifts to its victims, although the threat of violence is always present.

Gorilla Pimp – a pimp who controls his victims entirely through physical violence.

Lot Lizard – the name of a person that is being prostituted at a truck stop.

Out of Pocket – a victim working on a pimp-controlled track, but is not under the control of a pimp.

Reckless Eyeballing – the act of looking around instead of keeping your eyes on the ground. If the victim is making eye contact with another pimp during the process of deciding the ownership of a victim, she is choosing him to be her pimp.

Squaring Up – the attempt to escape prostitution.

Stable – the group of victims who are under the control of one pimp.

Stay safe, be prudent and don’t let yourself be mesmerized by the big words of richness and fame of some shady characters.

You must screen and double screen the persons you are working with and trust your instinct! If something sounds too good to be true…it probably is.
