Turned on by this? Well, the girl is pretty and well dressed, but the distant gaze in her eyes shows that she is not looking forward for what awaits to happen to her. Looks similar to anything? Maybe like an international crime...?
The previous image reflects that victims experience. Victims of HUMAN SEX TRAFFICKING! Shackled, abused, exploited, then repeat with multiple men against their will, without any consent to say at the least. These victims are used to fullfill the fanasties of their "owners," pimps.
"What is the impact of sex trafficking?
Trafficking has a harrowing effect on the mental, emotional and physical well being of the women and girls ensnared in its web. Beyond the physical abuse, trafficked women suffer extreme emotional stress, including shame, grief, fear, distrust and suicidal thoughts. Victims often experience post-traumatic stress disorder, and with that, acute anxiety, depression and insomnia. Many victims turn to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain.

Sex trafficking promotes societal breakdown by removing women and girls from their families and communities. Trafficking fuels organized crime groups that usually participate in many other illegal activities, including drug and weapons trafficking and money laundering. It negatively impacts local and national labor markets, due to the loss of human resources. Sex trafficking burdens public health systems. And trafficking erodes government authority, encourages widespread corruption, and threatens the security of vulnerable populations." (http://www.soroptimist.org/trafficking/faq.html)
