Human Sex Trafficking Solutionality for the USA and the entire World

Many people in the USA and World are not very familiar with human sex trafficking.
Unfortunately, it exists.
It happens in different ways. Many girls and boys in poverty or desperate situations are told they will be getting a job, and then they end up in slavery to prostitution network. This happens in the USA. This happens around the entire world. Truck stops and industrial zones like mining areas are prime targets for prostitution.
They could then end up with STDs and all sorts of diseases and traumas. It is awful. Disgusting.
It breaks my heart. However, I feel I need to write about it, because I know about it, and I have some ideas for solutions.
In America, solutionality:
Put the girls/boys/ladies in houses. Separate the genders. Have them have a supportive environment.
Social emotional learning, which you can read about here.
Schooling, education, different experiences to get them on a good track in life.
Here is one organization working to help these girls: Refuge for Women
Refuge for Women is the Nation's Largest Recovery Program for Victims of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation
In Industrial Zones in the USA and the World:
Put an organic community sustainable farm next to the industrial zone, the mine, or whatever it is. You can read about that here.
That way the men can go into the community for social interaction and not be all alone.
Prostitution appears when there is just a bunch of dudes and no community around. I’m from South Dakota and so I’ve heard about North Dakota, where men go to for weeks or months and there’s just men around. That’s a setup for prostitution.
This happens in Africa as well, if there is no community close by, and other countries as well.

A solution for California, the USA, and the entire World
If you are a victim or likely to be one, what you can try to do:
Find a safe house to go to. They exist. Reach out to Refuge for Women.
Go to a church and ask for help. They could perhaps have some of their members house you and help you.
Bus to a different town right away if you feel like they are coming after you. Ask friends and family for a little money. Get out quickly. Then go to a church or a safe house.
Homeless shelters may have solutions for you too.
What you reading this article can do to help:
Share this article with a local news source. Have them write an article for your citizenry to bring more awareness and solutionality to this issue.
Donate to Refuge for Women.
Talk to your local government about starting an organic sustainable farm community next to a mining/industrial zone.
Thank you for your help! This is a very serious situation that is not often talked about, probably because it is so egregious. America is in desperate poverty. Homelessness is rampant. We need more Christian, caring values of helping those in need.
I pray the churches and safe houses can help.
