>> Annie: Everyday thousands of women and girls are coerced into prostitution.
After they are purchased, they are held captive in appalling conditions.
Virtually, all women in the sex trade are victims of violence.
80% of them give the money they make to someone else.
The average entry of Chicago girls into the sex trade is 12 years old.
Backpage.com is an online classified advertising site.
It’s the largest site where women and girls are trafficked in the sex trade,
enabling pimps to pedal women and girls and subject them to horrific violence.
Please join us in urging Village Voice and the owners of Backpage.com to remove their
adult services page from their website in order prevent pimps from selling women and girls online.
