What is Sex Trafficking? What are NGO`s for? When we hear that question, we think of so many things.To start off, Human Trafficking is a bad industry it's a population filled with prostitutes, a crime that affects every innocent people; it's a global issue that goes around the world and it's hard to stop. Most of the victims in this case are to be known as people in need of protection however; targets are to be abused, harassed in every way which is not right.The law should handle this situation very delicately since there won't be any identical image of them outside the world. Traffickers are in pain, and we don't understand what they are going through until we don't know the reality. It's really sad to hear how females especially are to be

Do you ever wonder why the victims don’t run away? Or try to escape? They don’t run away because their being controlled by their trafficker. The trafficker threatens the victim by saying that they will harm their family, and they will make their victims use drugs to control them, so they don’t escape. The victim is absolutely controlled by the trafficker so they are often afraid to even try to escape. Women who are victims of human trafficking might also face legal consequences. When victims of trafficking come to the attention of local authorities, they are deported for immigration violation.

Women trafficking: Also known as white slavery is an illicit activity consistent in kidnapping women and forcing them into prostitution and slavery for the benefit of others.

The global aspects of human trafficking as a form of sex trade are important to understand the modern definitions of European terms for these criminal markets. In many ways, the globalization of human trafficking often defines the various forms of “slavery” that have become identified in the modern era. In this manner, the connection between prostitution and the sex trade are often defined through a broader globalized terminology, which defines these issues through the context of capitalist exploitation as a new form of slavery:

Human trafficking is such a neglected topic in this world. Many of us avoid this issue because we do not want to think about this happening to us or any of our close ones or simply because it has never happened to you or anyone you know you do not find the necessity to get informed. Let's start by defining human trafficking, according to the homeland security website, “Human trafficking is modern-day slavery and involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act.” This tells us there is many ways someone can trick or force another person to do something they do not want to do, being held against their will. My goal is to get more people to help out and spread the word on this neglected issue. Get

"From one minute to the next, my life was never to be the same again," recalls a Girl

“When I was 15, a woman who initially helped me sent me to England. On the first day in England, a man came, raped me and beat me. I was terrified, He forced me to have sex with lots of men he brought to his house” (“What is Human Trafficking?”). Over the last decade, thousands of kids from all over the world have been smuggled into Europe to do dirty work, girls are trafficked for the sex industry, boys work as prostitutes or for dirty crime, and chinese children are trafficked to work in Europe sweatshops or on the streets (Almond 28).

While human trafficking is a terrible practice, it also violates several of our human rights. For example article four of the Universal Declaration Of Human Rights states that, “ No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms”.

What is Prostitution or Human Trafficking? Human Trafficking is often described as the fastest-growing criminal enterprise. (Source D. 5) Prostitution is where women and men sell their bodies for fun, to get beaten or even killed. I've always wondered what those young ladies leaning on the side of a bar wall were doing. Prostitution is very risky for woman. Everyday women and even children get beaten and even killed from selling themselves to someone like a “pimp” for money. The prostitution of sexuality is a culmination of nearly two decades of my scholarly research and feminist activism. (Source C.1) In the U.S, prostitution was best at being controlled until federal Mann Act (1910) prohibited interstate transportation of women for “Immoral

The League of Nations acted immediately, although trafficking was not one of it’s original plans. Starting in 1921, the League of Nations started to send out questionnaire’s to countries asking about what they were doing to prevent women and children from being trafficked and being forced to work in the job market. After having an immediate and huge response from the nations, the League of Nations created some procedures and plans that would help them to combat this problem . In 1921, The International Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Women and Children (1921), was held with attendance from around thirty-four countries. During this convention, the International Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Women and Children

The key to understanding human trafficking and the consequences associated with this category of trafficking is understanding what the term means. Parreñas, et. al., (2012) states that human trafficking is “[i]n short, the defining traits of trafficking are, first, the transportation of a person; second, force, fraud, or coercion; and, finally, exploitation (p.1).” Human traffickers do not only target women, but men and children of all ages for exploitation for a variety of services. Further, this type of service typically includes forceful labor or sexual labor to obtain money, items of monetary value, and illegal substances. Human trafficking is a significant problem within the United States of America and other foreign countries because of the illegal activity that creates psychological damage for each victim involved.

Citizens of countries around the globe would like to believe that slavery has been banished from the modern world. This could not be farther from the truth. Governments refuse to acknowledge the fact that slavery exists within their borders. Slavery in its most heinous form lurks in the dark corners of every society. Human trafficking is without a doubt one of the most monstrous offenses against human rights that occur today. It is imperative for a more substantial effort to be put forth in order to combat the growing number of human trafficking cases. This effort must not be merely centered on individual countries fighting local cases; to see true results, countries must work together globally to punish offenders from each nation. This issue should be of great concern to people worldwide and the initiative must be taken to raise global awareness on this topic. In order to create a more secure and free world, a global partnership must be created and harsher measures must be taken to put an end to human trafficking in all of its forms.

Vietnam has a huge problem with human trafficking, they are the highest ranking country for trafficking. Most of the people who are trafficked are women and children. There are some cases of males, however, males are not as likely to be trafficked. Trafficking is not an easy crime to trace, however, there are many ways of prevention. Vietnamese men, women, and children are trafficked internationally for many reasons. Some do not know they were tricked into becoming a domestic slave, and they will be forced to live a life in slavery. The people who are trafficked in Vietnam are looking for solutions and a way out, the only way to stop is crime to to find outsiders who are willing to provide protections and find solutions for the problem.

Human tracking a powerful word with a lot of meaning. I had a mindset when I walked into that conference I went to this conference to learn and get some insight what was human trafficking and how the state is dealing with this problem and how I can help. It was a eye opening exercise that gave me goosebumps and an urge to help. To the introduction from Jeremy Norwood, hearing from the state Represent and attending three workshops lectures from Dave Manville, Matt osborne and Deja Williams. Also it was interesting hearing from A survivor Joyce Haskett.
