The problem with sex trafficking is that it is not only illegal, but the lasting effects it has on the victim are detrimental. Sex trafficking has been shown to increase the chance of sexually transmitted infections, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, unsafe abortions, malnutrition, and sexual violence (Konstantopoulos et al., 2013). There is an estimated 4.5 million people that become victims of sex trafficking; 98% of those are women and young girls (Konstantopoulos et al., 2013).

Sex trafficking is a problem that is happening and occurring all over the world. Many families and individuals suffer due to sex trafficking. Many people are not even aware of what it really is. Sex trafficking is when young girls, as young as five or six, get kidnapped and are used for the sexual pleasure of others with a profit, or are sold as sex slaves to other people. The official definition is, “Human sex trafficking is a form of slavery and involuntary servitude resulting in grave human rights violations. Sex trafficking involves individuals profiting from the sexual exploitation of others and has severe physical and psychological consequences for its victims.” (The

Mexico is a Tier 2 source, transit, and destination country. It’s primary forms of trafficking are sexual exploitation and forced labor. Men, women, and children are trafficked, but the most vulnerable populations are indigenous peoples, migrants, mentally and physically disables, and LGBT individuals. Victims are forced into labor in the agriculture, domestic, manufacturing, food processing, construction, begging, and street vending services. Many victims are lured by fraudulent recruiters, possibility of romantic relationships, extortion, debt bondage, and the possibility of harm to family members. Women’s shelters and rehabilitation facilities become agencies for traffickers into forced labor and sexual exploitation. Child sex tourism flourishes and tourists come from the United States, Canada, and Western Europe. Many Mexican citizens and families exploit children into the commercial sex trade. Organized crime is actively involved and make men, women, and children engage in illicit activities, become assassins, aid as lookouts, and help in the production, transport, and sale of drugs. Government officials at every level either actively participate of are complicit in human trafficking. Many law enforcement, judges, immigration officials extort bribes, partake in sexual services from women and children, falsify documents, facilitate movement across borders, threaten victims if they choose to file a formal complaint, operate and patronize brothels, and refuse to respond

f the world. It is the largest source of sex slaves sent to the U.S. Young girls and women are kidnapped by men who trick, threaten and seduce them into working in the sex trade. The Pimps most of the time threatens to kill their families and/or children. Pimps seduce and make these young girls fall in love, then those boyfriends or fiancés pretend they are taking these girls to meet the parents then just kidnap them. Women get tricked the most by promising a good paying job maybe in a different city or even in a different country. With them wanting a better paying job or future they agree on taking the job not knowing they will be forced to prostitution. Some women are forced to see 30 to 60 men a day, some clients being police men. With clients being police men, the women believe they have no one to run to for help. They feel trapped thinking of the danger they can put their families in and knowing they can’t trust anyone to help them. Only 17 of the 3,000 to 5,000 pimps in Tenancingo were convicted in Mexico between 2010-2013. There are an estimated 20,000 trafficking victims in Mexico every year.

This question is one that The BBC does well in answering. It is also successful in breaking down the motives of the crime along with the mindsets and areas that are most susceptible to human trafficking. It is shown that sex trafficking is often an occupation that those who live in places with limited opportunities for education and employment are. Areas where women are viewed as inferior and disposable also fall prey to higher rates of trafficking crimes. This source not only accurately informed us of the technicalities of the  occupation such as popular routes and abduction tactics. All of which should be taken into account when assessing its validity as a source, and if done we see that this truly is a reliable source.  “Human Trafficking: The Lives Bought and Sold.” BBC News, BBC, 28 July

Sex Trafficking in the U.S. is an article by Rachel Chinapen found inside the textbook Women’s Voices Feminist Vision. In this article the the author discusses the reality of sex trafficking in the United States still going on today. According to one of her sources, Love 146, More than 100,000 U.S children are forced to engage in prostitution or pornography in combination to $32 billion being spent worldwide on trafficking.

Human trafficking is the second largest criminal industry. Men, women and children are exploited against their will with the use of violence. There are many different types of trafficking such as forced prostitution, forced labor, forced begging, forced criminality, domestic servitude, forced marriage and forced organ removal. Traffickers target vulnerable people that are struggling with basic human needs, people trying to escape ethnic discrimination or government corruption, it could be the reason why Mexico is one of the main locations where human trafficking happens. Some other factors traffickers consider are age, poverty, gender, unemployment, sexual abuse, mental health problems or sexual identity issues. There’s not an exact or accurate statistics because many trafficked people are never identified but according to the U.S state department between 600,00 and 820,00 men, women and children are trafficked and 50% are minors ("Human Trafficking." Global Issues in Context Online Collection).

Is the increasing globalization of business good or bad for the United States? If you are from a different country, what effect do you think globalization is having or will have on your country? Is globalization resulting in unequal gains for different countries?

Human trafficking has become a lucrative business the use of women and children, as means of profit is now common practice. Mexico is synonymous with exploiting women into a life of prostitution. The cause of the growth in the human trafficking industry has grown substantially due to the reusability of the women being exploited. Meaning that the trafficked women can be put into play over and over, which will continue generating monies from the service provided. Even the trafficking of children is based on the demand of the people around the world requesting it. This increase in human trafficking is especially linked to impoverished and war conflict regions. The sale and trafficking of humans is the new modern day slavery.

Others believe that globalization began under Genghis Khan’s rule. The Mongolian warrior-ruler created an empire that had trade integrated into it. There are also some experts that believe that the rise of globalization was linked to 1492, the year Christopher Columbus made his first trip to the New World.

The trafficking of women and girls for the purpose of prostitution is big business. It has been and still is one of the biggest industries worldwide. These unfortunate women and girls do not lead normal lives, but rather they are bought and sold as commodities. They also usually have no control over their lives and live in conditions of extreme poverty and abuse.

United States feminists as well as many nongovernmental organizations acknowledge that this is a huge problem that needs to be tackled with greater proportions. We
