(1) Thread: There's a ready made hashtag that IMO is perfect for this moment in American history:
#EndTrafficking.
The trafficking of persons includes but is not limited to sexual assault, let alone prostitution. It's broader than that.
A number of #LawAndOrder issues...

(2) Human trafficking includes the exploitation of peoples' labor, or the violation of their rights wrt crossing international borders and even their right to occupy a home or vehicle in peace.
Child sexual assault is human trafficking, bc they can't consent.

(3) Any sexual activity with a minor is unlawful. They are legally unable to consent. I don't want the age of consent lowered, either.
Some child sexual assault involves only the offender and the victim.
Some of it is part of organized crime, often internationally.

(4) When we have completed the project to #BuildTheWall, that will help address a lot of organized and other crime. It's not enough on it's own, of course. The whole suite of border-securing policies of the Trump administration are needed along with it. He needs Congress.
(5) So many policy and law changes since 1/20/17 have saved lives, and there is much work still to do.
Foreign policy matters a lot, too. The more respected the US is, the more lives can be saved around the world. In 2020 we are part way through this process.

(6) Here's one definition. I used to think trafficking was mainly abusers/pimps abducting kids or exploiting illegal immigrants to be prostitutes. It includes that, but so much more.
It's any kind of forced labor for $ OR other benefit.

(7) American conservatives, Republicans, and Christians have always worked to abolish slavery. It seems that in our time, the second big push to free the slaves is underway.
I always find that looking at the big picture helps me "process" an enraging/sad news story. #MAGA
