Senate Resolution 81 was recently passed through senate with no amendment needed.  This bill is entitled "A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that children trafficked for sex in the United States should not be treated or regarded as child prostitutes because there is no such thing as a 'child prostitute,' only children who are victims or survivors of rape and sex trafficking."The bill is split into to two sections.  The first requires that all federal entities should treat children trafficked for sex as victims/survivors of sex trafficking.  The second requires that lawmakers, law enforcers and media should frame children as if they are victims of an act of violence against children.  This bill relies on the definition of consent - in which children under 18 cannot give consent for sex because they are not of age.  It is momentous because it will decrease the criminalization rate of victims/survivors of human trafficking.  It will protect all children in sex trafficking industry and will allow these victims/survivors the chance to recover without the worry about being persecuted under federal/state law.  For more information, please click here.
