Captive Girls In Nigeria Case Study

After the released from abduction, it is almost as hard to re-inter the world as it was being a victim. Survivors are faced with the media, the excess freedom and the added stress of “getting back to normal”. Families need to give emotional support,

“Journey of trafficked girls never ends: many Nigerian girls grew up with this reality and feel it to be true. Ben Taub wrote “The Desperate Journey of a Trafficked Girl”, published in 2017 in The New Yorker, in which he points out that “girls from Benin City who set out voluntarily, like Blessing, can become caught in a network of forced labor and sex work” (Taub). Taub begins building his prospect with his personal facts that he gathers while visiting Nigeria and some reputable sources, citing convincing facts and data, and successfully employing emotional appeals; toward the end of the article, his attempts to appeal to readers’ emotions strengthens his validity and ultimately, his argument.

Recalling the first time hearing about human trafficking, I remember sitting with my mother during the church service. As the pastor explained the brutality of human trafficking, an image began to form in my head of a young prepubescent girl forced into compromising positions. Then, the pastor stated something that broke my heart, the majority of these girls were not captured, but sold. They were sold by their fathers, or other members of their families.

Following along with the ticking time bomb scenario or any other future terrorist attack, many opponents of torture like to argue, how do the investigators really know the person they have in custody is for sure the terrorist who knows where the location of the bomb is or any other information that is needed. What if that isn’t the right person and the one who is in custody is being tortured but is completely innocent. The way that technology is improving and advancing from day to day, the idea of being wrong is very rare (Torture). Before investigators and researchers take the time to arrest the terrorist and get them in custody, they do precise investigations to make sure they are right. They will not take into custody and torture the person

The six principles of the life course paradigm are Historical Time and Place, Situational Imperatives, Linked Lives, Agency, Life Stage, and Accentuation. Historical Time and Place is the life courses structured differently through history and across geopolitical units. Situational Imperatives is social demands of new situations constrain roles-related behavior. Linked Lives is the effects of social change depends on one’s relationships with other people. Agency has to do with people striving to maintain sense of control over their setting and their biography. Life Stage effects of social change depends on the age of the person experiencing it. Accentuation is behavioral patterns before transition are magnified with social change. (Shanaham and Macmillan, 2008, 55)

Sex Trafficking has been a key component in “ degradation of human and women's rights” because they believe that these people are only good for sex (Deshpande Para 1). Often victims who come back, if they ever can, have a hard time adjusting back to normal life. These girls have trust issues towards men, and sometimes even women. They also could have numerous health problems ranging from STD’s to unplanned pregnancy or even worse “ broken bones, concussions, bruises and burns” can all be found on these victims of sexual assault. These girls could also have mental issues, such as anxiety toward older men and women, fear of going outside ever again and social issues. The saddest thing about this is not only are these victims going through a horrible amount of sexual abuse, they also have been ripped away from what they know and may love. Some people believe that women and some men are just objects and they are the ones that are often pimps in the sex trafficking, but this is a completely skewed way of thinking of people.

1). Ms. Greenlee is one of the most identifiable survivors of this type of tragedy. Greenlee told Ms. Martin (2013), “ she was forced to go through anywhere from 25 to 50 men a day or she would receive unimaginable punishments,” (para. 3). Greenlee told Martin (2013), “punishments were beyond severe, if she was not able to go through the number of customers they told her to she would pay with beatings, multiple rapes by multiple men, or even worse they would force her to watch as they tortured one of the other women they had kidnapped as her punishment,” (para. 6). Martin (2013) reports that, “Greenlee, who was kidnapped at age 12, was part of about eight girls who were kidnapped by a group of men who injected them with heroin and sometimes handcuffed them to the bed,” (para. 4). The tortures that Ms. Greenlee faced are unimaginable. She is one of the few women who have been able to escape from that world and talk about it openly.

This articles tells a story about a guardian who held a girl and her brother captive for six years. This relates to my story because the girl was taken away from her home in a foreign country. They were originally from South Korea and would regularly miss school or come to school with bruises. They did work but their guardian would take the money they earned. They slept in small closet and on the floor. Shamiya also would have to spend time in a closet. Also they both had to do hard labor and stay up late working by cleaning the house. Many people can still get away with this because they come up with clever stories like they are a foreign exchange student or they are just

This is a terrifying and frightening topic that no one wants to be a part of being a victim. That can be dramatically horrifying being in that kind of situations. Being followed is way too terrifying about everything; also they feel like they are worthless in the world. There is no one they could go to, or they cannot trust anyone to go get help or talk to. Another feeling that they may feel like they cannot say anything because they may get shame from their family and friends. Sometimes it feels like they cannot do anything wrong because it could be a strike against them; with no one to go to they just have to remember that they are not alone in this fight for freedom, there may be a time where they get free from that

These children have been forced to see things no child should have to. In a magazine, the author informs us, “Girls are often pressed into duty as cooks or messengers. Many are subjected to sexual abuse, including rape (Gettleman 6).” Child soldiers should not be punished, because most of them were forced against their own will. In a summative essay on child soldiers, the author states, “... and over ten million children have been diagnosed with a psychological trauma (“Child Soldiers -- Summative Essay”).” This is over the last ten years, which means that one million are diagnosed every year. In an article, the author met doctors who worked with the traumatized patients. “One doctor described treating a boy between ten and twelve years old whose job it was to whip prisoners held in an ISIS detention facility, according to the adult fighter who brought him (Ashawi).” No child should have to witness anything like that, much less be a part of it. Mr. Beah again explains, “...people think as healing from this kind of thing as forgetting, I will never be able to forget anything that happened to me…(Stroumboulopoulos). ” Most people do not realize from this kind of trauma, the patients do not usually fully

Girls who are victims of sex trafficking don’t often see that they have been branded as a mark of slavery. They see it as they belong to somebody and they are important to that person. They feel they have finally been claimed. That mentality has been a problem with convincing girls to seek

For this research I would like to read books such as Stolen Life: A Memoir by Jaycee Dugard, My Story by Amy Smart, and The Lost Girls by John Glatt. These books talk about the different stories of girls who were kidnapped as children and how they lived their lives everyday in captivity. Through the books I hope to learn how being kidnapped affected them psychologically and how they’ve learned to cope with it now. Their kidnapping cases were wildly broadcasted in the media when they were found and are stories many people think of when they hear children emerging from kidnapping. All these women are white but what about

Leonardo was not of one the first persons to quantify facial proportions, yet his obsession with perfections led him to write more than eight hundred words to describe the proportionality of the face [1]. Individuals seek aesthetic perfection of the human face and in the eyes of the beholder this can be achieved by applying geometric constructions to depict beauty. Geometric constructions utilizing the golden ratio are not limited to facial esthetics. In fact, the ratio is used in other paintings and in architecture.
