By Duke Omara<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the grand scheme of things, it was a small victory but for impoverished neighborhoods like Chicago\u2019s Englewood, it was a triumph.<\/p>\n

After a protracted and sometimes acrimonious City Council battle in March, a bill to allow city strip clubs to sell liquor on their premises was shelved after its sponsor admitted she wasn\u2019t fully aware of the bill’s contents.<\/p>\n

Under current law, there is a ban on strip clubs selling<\/a> alcohol if those clubs feature nude dancers. The law also states that dancers in these clubs must wear \u201chot pants\u201d and cover their chests.<\/p>\n

Communities like Englewood, which fear a proliferation of strip clubs, are standing up to fight back against abuses they see as threats to their very foundations.<\/p>\n

The sponsor of the rejected bill, Alderman Emma Mitts of the 37th Ward, withdrew<\/a> the ordinance proposal after meeting stiff opposition from community leaders who saw a lifting of the liquor ban as likely to contribute to the growth of sex and human trafficking in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cA drunk man is even worse than guys coming in just to see a strip because it causes more violence against women. I won\u2019t support any of it. It became so heated so quick, they actually pulled back the legislation,\u201d explained Alderman Toni Foulkes of the 16th Ward, and one of the ordinances most vocal opponents.<\/p>\n

For local leaders like Foulkes, the kerfuffle over liquor licenses in strip clubs is something she considers a matter of communal survival.<\/p>\n

Her fears are not unfounded.<\/p>\n

According<\/a> to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, strip clubs are often fronts for traffickers and their clients.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrip clubs are designed to provide the space and environment in which buyers may purchase commercial sex.\u00a0Victims of sex trafficking in strip clubs must adhere to extensive, predetermined schedules and are frequently moved between multiple clubs,\u201d says the organization on its website.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou listen to the stories of some of these actual young girls that got into it at 11 years-old, it will break your heart,” said Foulkes at a recent community meeting in Englewood that was called to draw attention to the issue.<\/p>\n

The city, she said, has tens of thousands of sex trafficking cases, and those numbers don\u2019t include \u201canything that is coming across the border from Indiana or from Wisconsin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, Chicago is now considered<\/a> one of the country\u2019s top hubs for human trafficking and the numbers that accompany this dubious distinction are troubling.<\/p>\n

Human trafficking has been called modern day slavery, and the revenue<\/a> it generates is astounding.<\/p>\n

Worldwide, the business is worth<\/a> about $150 billion, which is roughly the same amount of annual profits the top five most profitable companies in the world made in 2015. Combined<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The number of people trapped in the trade totaled<\/a> more than 20 million in 2012, according to the International Labor Organization (ILO), a U.N. agency tasked with developing and setting universal labor standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlobally, two thirds of the profits from forced labor were generated by forced sexual exploitation, amounting to an estimated US$ 99 billion per year,\u201d said a 2014 ILO report.<\/p>\n

The law as it stands<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2000, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA<\/a>) became the first comprehensive federal law to address trafficking in persons.<\/p>\n

The law, which has been reauthorized multiple times, called for a three-pronged approach to the problem that includes prevention, protection, and prosecution. The law defined \u201csevere forms of trafficking in persons\u201d to include both sex and labor trafficking. Unlike previous acts, it specifically includes provisions that don\u2019t require transportation across state lines to prove trafficking. Minors do not need proof of force, fraud or coercion to show they have been victims.<\/p>\n

Many states have since followed suit, passing laws that build on TVPA and affording more protections to victims.<\/p>\n

In 2011, Illinois enacted<\/a> a law giving anyone who had been convicted of prostitution a chance to clear their names if their arrest \u201cwas a result of having been a trafficking victim under the Criminal Code of 1961 or a victim of a severe form of trafficking under the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVictims of human trafficking are often forced into prostitution and other crimes against their own will, and too many of them are being prosecuted as criminals,\u201d Rep. Karen Yarbrough (D-Maywood) and one of the bill\u2019s sponsor\u2019s said<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we have evidence that involuntary human trafficking was the cause of the crime, even though the victim may not have had the ability or representation to prove it during trial, we must do the right thing and reverse their conviction so they can move on with repairing their lives,\u201d Yarborough added.<\/p>\n

The problem has been exacerbated by social media which has made recruitment of potential victims easier, according to Caleb Probst, the education manager of the Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation (CAASE<\/a>), an organization that seeks to end all forms of social exploitation.<\/p>\n

\"Modern

Probst said the internet had shattered old images and stereotypes about pimps and traffickers being flashy and flamboyant individuals who, often, were not afraid to show the world their true identities.<\/p>\n

\u201cA pimp today is nowhere near the corner. He is up on the internet, he is on a smart phone, he\u2019s got his stable being advertised on sex sites, using social media as a way of setting up dates with customers, and also using social media as a means of grooming and attracting new victims,\u201d said Probst.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, this same technology can be used to bring down traffickers while spreading awareness because it is monitored by law enforcement officers to gather information and evidence, he said.<\/p>\n

Many top technology companies, including the software maker, Microsoft, have also joined the fight. Their PhotoDNA <\/a>application, for example, is used to identify images of children who are exploited online, and is available free to qualifying organizations. The Spotlight<\/a> tool is also available to authorities and is used to aggregate numbers from online commercial sex advertisements. Agencies using this tool have seen a reduction in investigation time that is as high as 60 percent.<\/p>\n

Probst said the Cook County Sheriff\u2019s office has been a national leader in using the internet to crackdown<\/a> on those using online marketplaces to engage in the vice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sheriff managed to get the credit card companies for certain sites to stop using their credit cards to buy ad space for trafficking,\u201d said Probst.<\/p>\n

Although these may seem like small victories, their impact is very real and the issue is attracting those, like Englewood resident Kristin Boyckert, who say they are willing and inspired to dedicate their professional lives combating the scourge.<\/p>\n

\u201cFighting against human trafficking is my passion. I am going to Vanderbilt University law school next year to be an anti-trafficking lawyer. When I found out that human trafficking and slavery still exist here in our backyards, I knew fighting it was what I wanted to do,\u201d said Boyckert.<\/p>\n
