Exploitation in Washington Sate
Sex trafficking doesn't always look like the movie or media stereotypes. Exploitation can be as simple as trading sex for money, clothing, or a place to stay. If a person is being forced or coerced in any way, if they feel like they don't have any other options, it's exploitative.
