Throughout the 21st century, the number of human beings being capture and put into sex trafficking and prostitution has risen. In 2013, about 270,000 young boys, girls, and women were forced into human trafficking in the United States alone and estimated 20.9 million in the world. The UN has also estimated that nearly 4,000,000 are trafficked each year. UNICEF has estimated that as many as 50% of all trafficking victims worldwide are minors and that as many as two thirds of those adolescents are at some point forced into the sex trade. This is a 52 billion dollar industry. Two kids are sold every minute, 120 per hour. In other cases mothers of these children would sell them off for money due to financial reason, which

Victims, both men, and women, are being forced to work 10-12 hour days, 6-7 days per week with little or no breaks in between. Victims are also trafficked into garment industry jobs such as sewing, assembling, pressing, and more. Some of these companies are brands that we use every day such as Nike, Apple, Walmart, and more. Some others may be forced into food processing operations, and more. Industries all around the world are all affected by the growing problem of human trafficking, specifically forced labor, but also the idea of human sex trafficking.

Images of foreign lands usually conjure up when the thoughts of human sex trafficking come to one 's mind. The United States of America is not immune to this type of horrific behavior. America is the land of the free and yet something as awful as human sex trafficking occurs in our very own backyard each and everyday. According to the Department of Homeland Security the definition of human trafficking is “modern day slavery that involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act” (“What Is Human Trafficking?”).

A challenge that I took interest in is the horrifying problem that women and young girls face as victims of human trafficking and sex slavery. Women and young girls make up 98% of victims of trafficking for exploitation. Human trafficking and sex slavery is a form of modern slavery, in which traffickers profit from the control and exploitation of others. It is a multi-billion industry. Traffickers use control of others for the purpose of engaging in sexual activities and or forcing others to provide labor services against their will. Traffickers use many manipulative tactics to trap their victims in horrific situations such as using violence, threats, deception, and bondage.

Forced Labor and Labor Exploitation is one of the main faces of human trafficking. Most individual trafficked or smuggled are for the purposes of forced labor and labor exploitation. Even though several undocumented employees hired or recruited by United States employers agree to position with poor living conditions, long hours, poor working conditions, and unlawful wages. The enormous

Through the years Human Trafficking- Domestic Servitude have become a more prevalent issue as travel improves as well as technology, causing more children to be taken from their homes and forced into labor every day. Georgia realizes it plays a part in this problem as it serves as a connector to the middle east and eastern Europe. Georgia also realizes that ethnic conflicts, and the problems that they create, help to not only tear nations apart but also families as well. We also recognize the cost of ethnic wars to the world as civilians are displaced and billions of dollars are lost worldwide each year. To combat these two topics we as a nation have come up with the solutions of heavier consequences for both topics as well as education

human trafficking is one of the fastest illegal trade in the world especially in countries such as China. Human trafficking is more of a modernized type of slavery that involves fraud, force, or having the trafficker persuade their victims to do something by using force or threats. Many victims of human trafficking victims fall prey to this type of crime by being sold by family, abducted, tricked, or lured in by false jobs advertisement, and many more. Human trafficking is a booming illegal business where the criminals can exploit women and child for services that involve labor or sex which can also be accessed on the internet. When these victims become involved in human trafficking, they become high risk to abuse, drug use, and sexually transmitted diseases. A lot of these sex trafficking victims are forced to work in places such via online ads or escort services, fake massage parlors, residential brothels, on the streets, hotels and motels, and sweatshops.

According to Aguilar-Millan, “behind drugs and guns, human trafficking is the third largest illicit global trade and reportedly the fastest growing” (Aguilar-Millan, 2008). Because of its accelerated growth rate, hubs and hot spots are continuing to pop up all over the country. The main victims of trafficking are immigrants and due to this fact, the crime thrives in the states with large immigrant populations such as Florida, Texas, New York, and California. “More than 90% of all forced labor occurs in five major areas of the U.S. economy: (a) the prostitution and sex sector (46%), (b) the domestic service professions (27%), (c) agricultural professions (10%), (d) sweatshop or factory settings (5%), and (e) restaurant and hotel settings (4%). Across these five major areas, traffickers commonly use force, fraud, and coercion to exploit their victims (Free the Slaves & Human Rights Center, 2004)” (Stotts Jr., 2009). Below is a pie chart that represents the

A lack of strong labor protections is just some of the vulnerabilities that can lead to labor trafficking. In addition, victims of labor trafficking are affected by this due to different reasons like perhaps being promised a higher paying job or new and exciting opportunities. Labor trafficking includes but are not limited to: people forced to working in homes as domestic servants, farmworkers coerced through violence as they harvest crops, or factory workers held in inhumane conditions. Additionally, in construction work, health and beauty services, door-to-door sales crew, and carnivals. Although the current information being presented is discussing only about what occurs in America, globally there are 14.2 million people trapped in forced labor in industries including agriculture, construction, domestic work, and manufacturing, according to the International Labor

Sex trafficking occurs when someone uses force, fraud to cause a commercial sex act with an adult or causes a minor to commit a commercial sex act. A sex commercial includes prostitution, pornography and sexual performance done in exchange for any item item of value, such as money, drugs, shelter, food or clothes. Sex trafficking is the modern day slavery and must be recognized internationally this crime needs to be weeded out. Victims from sex trafficking can be from the U.S. , foreign nationals, women, men, and children.Traffickers target most Runaway, and Homeless youth.

While sexual exploitation is the main form of trafficking in Europe and Central Asia, in East Asia and the Pacific it is forced labor. This variety of human trafficking has increased steadily in recent years; around 40% of the victims between 2010 and 2012 were trafficked for this purpose. Immigrants are particularly vulnerable on forced labor, the demand of cheap labor contributes to the illegal trade of humans, just to reduce costs of production. This is the fault of companies who look for low-price labor, without caring about the safety, human, and health conditions of their workers.

From July 4, 1776, the United States has always prided itself on the copious freedoms granted to its citizens. Freedom of speech, the press, and to bear arms are just a small testament to how well the U.S. has maintained its liberties for over two centuries. Noted internationally as a socially progressive nation that sets unmarked precedents in breaking social barriers and razing oppression, the U.S. unfortunately falls short in protecting ones right to rule over their own body. Prostitution, the exchanging of sexual services for payment, has been specifically outlawed by the State of New York. This direct targeting of the sex trade within New York leaves many people unprotected under the law, both in consensual prostitution and nonconsensual human sex trafficking, while greatly eliminating the potential tax revenue that would be generated. Prostitution, when involving consenting adults, is a victimless crime and when criminalized, it forces a specific set of morals on everyone within that jurisdiction no matter of their personal beliefs.

Forced Labor is a form of labor trafficking that is often referred to as modern-day slavery. It can be defined as “labour [sic] performed involuntarily and under duress, usually by relatively large groups of people” (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica). Labor traffickers accomplish this with the use “of violence, threats, lies, and other forms of coercion to force people to work against their will” (National Human Trafficking Hotline). Forced labor in Thailand is an especially big issue with an estimate of 425,500 people being forced to work with little to no pay and in working conditions that include physical and verbal abuse, forced overtime, lack of holiday time off, and dangerous working conditions.
