Since we generally think that street girls chose to be there, we just gave the sex traffickers a great cover to hide behind. Women victims of trafficking are silent victims. Their pimp physically and mentally abused them on a daily basis, continually manipulating them into believing that they are unable to decide what to do and that they cannot survive without their pimp. These poor victims live in constant fear and refuse to talk about what really happens behind the scenes, because if they did, they would be brutally attacked and possibly killed by their pimp. Every day the victims are given a quota of about two thousand dollars to meet every night and, if it is not reached, they are beaten and sent back to reach this amount. Some rescued victims confessed that, despite the desire to leave or escape, they cannot because they are always watched and do not know how to live without their presence.
