Stop Trafficking in Texas


Stop Trafficking in Texas
The Issue
Texas has one of the worst types of trafficking in the world. Each year fundamentalists living in Texas, force their daughters as young as 14 years old, into marriage with older men. It wouldn't be as bad if it was just a kidnapping that force the young girls into sex acts, but it is their own families that force the young girls into marriage and relationships with older men before they are ready, causing deep emotional scares, hard to comprehend.
We the concerned citizens of the United States of America would like to urge Texas to update their trafficking laws to protect the young adults and children from forced marriages.
