Still think people need to stop refering to sex slavery as trafficked women. Trafficking is the verb, but the buying and selling of women and children is slavery. I notice the media calls it slavery when men are held captive and worked by gypsies, but women and children held captive and worked are called trafficked. It is a lessening of the language used to describe the victim by gender or age.
