Change the legal term from sex trafficking to rape trafficking, victims of trafficking cannot consent to sex while being trafficked. It is rape.

Great framing.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
