Commercial sexual exploitation has devastated our society for centuries and the demand for immediate sexual gratification fuels its burning fire, which is void of humanity as it swallows up true economic equality and individual self-worth. The adult industry is a platform being used today that tells our culture it is acceptable to view our sons and daughters as products rather than persons of real value. The normalization of systems of prostitution as empowerment blinds us from the truth, and society must shift its narrative to recognize this as gender-based violence if we are to see any real change.
