A Research On Friends Of Maiti Nepal

As extensive humans being have been on earth, there has been some method of awfulness present. Have you ever felt alone with nobody there to help you? Have you ever felt the pressure to preform or face getting beat or threatened to be killed? This is a life that people all around the world have to face because of human trafficking. Different types of human cruelty include parental and spousal abuse, genocide, racial discrimination, and bullying. These are all techniques of mistreatment that stand out in one’s mind. However, there is one type of mistreatment that people may forget is human trafficking. Human trafficking is a horrible association where victims are controlled and abused by others. This type of growing business of trafficking has become a difficulty that concerns practically each country in the world. Some countries are making changes though it has seen small to no achievement. The craving for people to kidnap innocent people and put them in exertion for their own revenue needs to be put to end. Human trafficking is problematic because of the manner it destroys innocent people and the demand for such trafficking to be a force it produces a huge problem that needs to become a top priority for governments around the world. Trafficking innocent people is a criminal industry that revenues from enslaving people for sexual servitude and forced labor. There is absence of resources towards this matter that makes defined statistics almost difficult to gather. Human trafficking has a massive absence of awareness. Without funding for human trafficking makes working towards a solution very difficult. Without correct funds to place an end towards human trafficking. This demonstrate that there are many methods to get into the trafficking business and that people should be conscious that there are individuals out there that will take a harmless person.

Human trafficking has received increasing global attention over the past decade. Trafficking of women and girls for forced sex work and, to a lesser extent, domestic servitude, were the sole focus of advocacy and assistance. There is recognition in today’s society that women, children, and men are trafficked into many different forms of labour, and for sexual exploitation. In her article, “Understanding and Addressing Violence Against Women”, Cathy Zimmerman and Heidi Stockl focus on the commonality of human trafficking and how evident it is in everyday life. They bring in the health effects and possible solutions to human trafficking to help validate their opinion and argument. In the solutions they offer, Zimmerman and Stockl shine a light on policy-makers/decision-makers, health-care providers, and researchers/funders and what each of these groups of people can do to help combat the issue of human trafficking. In a quote from their article, Stockl and Zimmerman say: “Health care providers and organizations involved with trafficked persons should increase their capacity to identify and refer people in trafficking situations and provide sensitive and safe services to people post-trafficking”. This quote shows how Zimmerman and Stockl believe human trafficking should be combated by caring and talking to those affected by the issue but how they also believe awareness should be made about human trafficking so as to allow people surrounding the issue to identify and help victims of this issue. Zimmerman and Stockl’s view on the ways human trafficking should be combatted relate to those of Soroptimist due to the fact that the two groups of people are focused mainly on helping women and girls who have been trafficked and trying to get them to a better life after getting out of the trafficking situation. Both groups focus on helping men as well, providing options to help them such as raising money and awareness, and getting educated on being able to identify victims of human trafficking.

Governments are aware of trafficking, however there isn’t prevention of it. In Children for Sale, it highlights poverty in Cambodia and how it led to girls being tricked into trafficking with the promise of money (Doc C). These girls are placed into situations, where they’re willing to do anything in order to put food on the

According to the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime, Bangladesh is a source, transit, and destination for human trafficking involving women, men, and children (1). Bangladeshi men and women are lured into work under false pretenses within their own country or into neighboring countries (2). A large proportion of cross- border trafficking in Bangladesh is due to migration in search of employment. Most are subjected to forced labor or forced prostitution (3).

Officials are bringing awareness to people who are already in the age of involvement of domestic minor sex trafficking. This is good, although, it is not very efficient. Siddharth Kara, is on the board of directors of Free the Slaves, states that the fate of a domestic minor sex trafficking victim only increases after being trafficked once (16). It is very hard to identify a victim who is involved in domestic minor sex trafficking. Gail Hornor, a certified pediatric nurse practitioner, says that a bond is formed between the victim and the pimp that cause a hesitation because of fear (90). They are afraid of what there pimp will do to them and/or their families. Therefore, we need to educate

Although men are also victims of trafficking, women and children are most likely to be exploited and coerced. The International Labor Organization (as cited in Cecchet & Thoburn, 2014) estimates that 98% of the victims of sex trafficking are women and children. For the purpose of this assignment, I chose to focus on women and children and review the different ways to advocate for them.

Slavery may have been abolished more than 100 years ago, but it still exists all around the world. Slavery defined is the subjection of a person to another person; being forced into work. Through the years, countless of battles have been fought and many lives lost to eliminate slavery, yet it still exists in the form of human trafficking. Human trafficking is the trade of humans, most commonly for the purpose of sexual slavery, forced labor or for the extraction of organs or tissues, including surrogacy. Nearly every country in the world is affected by human trafficking. According to the United Nations, over 130 countries are origin, transit or destination

In India, there are roughly 200,000 children reportedly trafficked each year and forced into domestic servitude. Even though the Government is relatively involved in the monitoring of offenders and the investigating of human trafficking cases, the laws are not fully enforced. One of the reasons is because it is difficult for universal laws to work and be enforced in countries as large and regionally diverse as India.

They also concluded that sex trafficking is hard to identify and it is hidden very well from the public and law enforcement. There was also findings how political agendas play a part into trafficking of individuals. The authors also mentioned how victims of human trafficking are scared to report or get any type of medical treatment because the fear pimps and traffickers use to deter them from telling authorities. They mention how these people of power threaten them or their family if they report what has happened to them to officials. The authors also found that lack of economic opportunities, inadequate education and childhood factors have an increase in sex trafficking. However, they also state that cultural norms and society plays a huge role in sex trafficking. If a child is out of their cultural norm then they have a heightened risk of being coerced into sex trafficking. In Kolkata, Rio and Salvador findings suggested that there is a higher chance of individuals being darker skin to be trafficked than lighter skin individuals. With this being said, there is even a higher risk of these individuals being forced into trafficking if they are from a poor community and the United States can use this data to lower this type of crime (Konstantopoulos, et al.,

When Nick, one of the authors, asked a police officer why pirating DVDs was a more important matter to address than human trafficking, he replied by stating that prostitution is inevitable, and that it keeps the "good girls" in India safe. The authors then stated that if western countries were to overtly show their disapproval of slavery as they do for the distribution of pirated DVDs, then India would consequently dispatch people to halt traffickers. While measures are being taken by members of congress, it seems as though the parties are working separately, even though unifying the efforts would make them more effective. It seems as though the most favorable approach to ending sex trafficking is by cracking down, but also by providing job training and drug rehabilitation in order to decrease the chances that a freed woman would return voluntarily, due to being stigmatized or an addict searching for the drug they desire. To prove this, an example was given of Sweden and the Netherlands, both countries with different approaches to limiting sex trafficking and AIDS. The Netherlands legalized and regulated prostitution while Sweden cracked down and treated prostitutes more as victims than criminals. Ten years after the methods were put into place, Sweden reported having a 41% decrease in prostitutes, while the Netherlands showed almost no change. While preventing sex trafficking has proven to be a challenging yet important task, it is also important to take into account the effort required to rescue a girl from a brothel. Two girls, Srey Neth and Srey Momm were prostitutes from separate brothels, and were rescued and returned to their families. Although they had fairly similar experiences, Momm returned to her brothel due to her addiction to meth. Even though she hated the brothel, her “owners” had an insurance policy in

Human trafficking is still lingering in South-East Asia as of today, and we do not expect to leave any time soon in the near future. The reality is that South-East Asian countries are mainly “affected by domestic trafficking or trafficking from the neighboring countries” (UNODC, 2014). There is an approximate “12 to 27 million people enslaved and exploited by human trafficking”, which this crime network brings in approximately “$30 billion dollars annually” (Collins, 2014). It is detected that today we see that (1) South-East Asia is still the origin area for victims of human trafficking around the world, (2) the vast majority of victims are females (either adults or underage girls) and children, (3) what’s surprising is that forced labor is well known among victims than sex exploitation, and (4) offenders are usually within the region (UNODC, 2014).

However, recent studies and articles provide enough evidence of this racket and also mention the need of governments and normal civilians to act and be more conscious on it before its too late. After much observation, ECPAT International and Body Shop International revealed that sex trafficking is one of the major reasons behind human trafficking and the greater parts of the casualties are women. What do you think only women are affected? That is a very wrong conception. This BILLION-dollar industry is putting millions of lives at stake. They didn’t spare the young people neither the poor ones. And it is very clear that without the help of the government body and the realization of the citizen, this industry cannot be shut down. This is growing gradually and

Human trafficking is prevalent throughout the world, especially in Asia and more specifically in China but the government and non-governmental organizations (NGO) are taking measures to put an end to it. Human trafficking involves exploitation of human beings; either sexually or by coercing them to work in unfavourable conditions for little pay or nothing at all. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) defines human trafficking as “the acquisition of people by improper means such as force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them.” Women and children, especially girls between the ages of fourteen and twenty constitute the majority of victims of human trafficking. “China is a source, transit and destination country

The small country of Cambodia has become a transit, source, and destination for child trafficking victims. There are many children going through Cambodia from Vietnam and Thailand as a result of child trafficking (“Human Trafficking” 2). In 2006 Cambodia was one of the busiest spots in the world for child trafficking, with many of those victims being delivered into the sex trade in Thailand, Malaysia, Macao and Taiwan (“Global Crime Case: The Modern Slave Trade” 1). Child trafficking is happening all over the country but t one place notorious is Svay Pak, a run-down village on the outskirts of Phnom Penh (“Children for Sale” 4). As tourists in Svay Pak you are bombarded by many young children assuming you are there for sex. Throughout the village there are many girls as young as nine who are for sale. As stated by the reporter Bob Mosier, “You have an 8-year old or 9-year-old little girl you know just looking at you smiling, realizing that you’re going to in just a few

According to the HDI of India gender inequality is still an issue (except in the more southern areas of India). Boys are favored over girls; girls are seen as an economic burden because in order to be married the family has to provide a dowry. Instead of paying for the dowry some families sell daughters into slavery; approximately 12% of individuals were given to human traffickers by relatives (Silverman et al. 2007). More than half of the individuals caught in human trafficking are illiterate/uneducated, therefore unlikely to report their situation to anyone who could help. Low education levels and gender inequity are serious culprits holding back the improvement of this condition. Overall, historical influence, surging population, intents poverty, limited education, and high gender inequity have all exacerbated the human trafficking issue in India.
