I was watching @MHPshow when I saw @fairgirlstalking about Sex Trafficking and a young lady was strong advocate had escaped #swunited -
What was amazing is that she is earning a BSW as well as a Bachelors in Political Sci #swunited

It really goes to show that #socialwork is the profession of hope. #swunited

Feel free to chime in and give your opinion #swunited

@Andrew_Ellery @PatrickStrud Andrew we are having a Twitter debate…will you use #swunited so everyone can see your response. I did RT
-
Last night…I took a poll question on my knowledge and perceptions of Sex Trafficking. #swunited
-
In your minds..How does sex trafficking and prostitution differ? #swunited
-
@swhelpercom so sorry. Must sleep now though. Would love to join debate. Will catch up on it another time. Good night all #swunited x -

@Alta_LMSW glad to see you in the stream #swunited
-
@Andrew_Ellery No problem maybe another time#swunited
-
Until the cost of Sex Trafficking exceeds profit…I fear it will only increase #swunited
-
@swhelpercom definitely another time, no maybe about it :-) #swunited. Very interesting topic tonight. Enjoy everyone.
-
@swhelpercom sex trafficking is involuntary. I know that’s one stark difference #swunited -
RT @swhelpercom: RT @swhelpercom: @SJSworks I actually agree…This is big business especially with the advent of technology. #swunited
-
How many prostitutes enjoy benefits, retirement package, raises….Do they not suffer the same abuse?#swunited
-
@Relando_T Thanks for joining #swunited

-
RT @swhelpercom: RT @swhelpercom: How many prostitutes enjoy benefits, retirement package, raises….Do they not suffer the same abuse? #swunited
-
@swhelpercom yes sorry I’m late, just getting back home #swunited
-
Well…it’s a touchy topic I think. Prostitution has been glamorized through tv and Sex victims are often pictured as overseas #swunited
-
children and women brought to the US from other countries #swunited
-
As social workers are we prepared/informed to identify and treat these victims #swunited
-
@swhelpercom different abuse I think. Prostitution forces Self destruction. Same in terms of vulnerability being exploited. #swunited
-
@swhelpercom meanwhile many suffer in silence here at home #swunited
-
@Relando_T @swhelpercom Including talking about sex trafficking. -
@swhelpercom impact of abuse should be measured according to circumstances… if anything this helps aid recovery from trauma #swunited
-
@Andrew_Ellery Let’s explore that perspective, Do we think of Prostitutes as being self-employed therefore not a victim? #swunited
-
If we do not challenge the perception of sex victim vs prostitute, is age the only distinction? #swunited
-
How do we identify the difference in our practice?#swunited
-
@Relando_T @swhelpercom Not all prostitution is sex trafficking, but ALL sex trafficking prostitution.
-
@swhelpercom they definitely are a victim, don’t get me wrong. However they can lose control… leading to substance misuse, crime, increase
-
@Relando_T @swhelpercom If we want to address sex trafficking in the States then we need to be working with prostituted women in our cities
-
@RootedinBeing @Relando_T How do we identify, treat, and prevent sliding someone in one category or the other #swunited
-
@swhelpercom vulnerability which in turn leads to less ability to understand their lifestyle as them being exploited #swunited

-
@RootedinBeing @Relando_T goo.gl/GQhGA Here is an article about Sex trafficking in the States. #SWunited
-
@swhelpercom NO! COERCION is the distinction! There are plenty of grown women being sex trafficked in the States!
-
@swhelpercom And they are called “prostitutes.”
-
@RootedinBeing dont forget to use #SWunited in your tweets so everyone can see.
-
@swhelpercom @Relando_T By talking with the women who are in prostitution. Doing outreach, getting to know them and who their pimps are.
-
@swhelpercom @Relando_T Building trust, being a consistent presence, offering services. And listening.
-
@swhelpercom @Relando_T Victims aren’t going to say “I’m being trafficked.”
-
If you haven’t read the article on Asia Graves in USA Today goo.gl/GQhGA Please read it’s powerful#swunited
-
Recap former sex slave is earning a BSW and Bachelors in Political Sci. #swunited
-
She was trafficked in early age and suffered sex abuse in early age, but did not escape until she was older.#swunited
-
@swhelpercom and extreme porn on net has perhaps led to people viewing sex as a ‘do as you please’ act. Overlooking whether someone wants it
-
In her case…how would a professional distinguish between sex slave and prostitution ring #swunited
-
I lean towards they are the same thing. Despite it being legal in Nevada #swunited
-
@RootedinBeing has made several great points#SWunited. Don’t forget to add to response so everyone can view #swunited
-
@Andrew_Ellery UK time…it’s pretty late #SWunited
-
@swhelpercom I would agree although some key differences I would say.
-
@swhelpercom I think we need to address the hierarchy within the sex industry, and abolish the mass amounts of people exploited by it.
-
This is one resource that I found as I feel that I need more education in this area. It’s not really covered in our training #swunited
-
@swhelpercom 1:45am! Would rather be tired tomorrow than miss out on brief learning on a topic I am very unfamiliar with :) #swunited

polarisproject.org/human-tr… This seems to be a good resource to help us recognize the signs of this vulnerable population #swunited
-
@RootedinBeing @swhelpercom actually the preferred term seems to be “sex worker” at least in Canada -

@MarcLaferriere @RootedinBeing In your opinion does Canada make a distinction between sex workers and prostitution #SWunited
-
-
-
@swhelpercom @anntieup does environment and circumstances covertly force people into prostitution. Traffickers know what they intend to do

@swhelpercom @rootedinbeing for those who willingly and empowering lay pursue that work its “sex work” which is legal in CND w restrictions.
-
@Andrew_Ellery @anntieup I think so…prior abuse and poverty makes vulnerable to be trafficked. #SWunited

Is anyone aware of any studies with prostitutes? Just wondering how much abuse is a factor. #swunited
-
@MarcLaferriere @swhelpercom There is a hierarchy in the sex industry. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT
-
@swhelpercom @rootedinbeing the restrictions however put many women in danger when communicating around sex.
-
@swhelpercom @rootedinbeing Some court cases may change things tho and provide more safety. #LetsHope
-
