After receiving my interview back from 'Captive Daughters' I was overjoyed with their responses. It pertained to my thesis greatly. The woman who responded, Sandra Hunnicutt, answered my questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. Some of the most beneficial things Mrs. Hunnicutt said are as follows:
"At that time Human Rights Watch came out with a book, Rape for Profit, which detailed the Nepali to Indian sex trafficking. I called the author up and asked what I could do. She said if you do nothing more than public education, that’s enough."
The best way to stop human trafficking is to "increase overall public education, beginning in the 7th grade."
The largest thing holding back the end to sex trafficking is "educating girls so they have more value in their homes/countries which reduces parental interest in selling them to traffickers. Girls education is very powerful in the long run."
Do you suppose that an average American is fully aware about the gravity of this problem? "Not at all. We’ve been at this for 13 years and its unbelievable how many people write and say they had no idea."
Knowing this information I can now research this book, Rape for Profit, and possibly call the author (as Mrs. Hunnicutt did) and ask her a few questions! Sandra also expressed her own beliefs about the little knowledge our world has on sex trafficking and how it is hurting our society.
Taking in all this information, and much more, this interview was exceptionally beneficial. Thank you 'Captive Daughters'!
