Halting Human Trafficking

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.

Many organizations have formed to establish several resolutions for combating the issue of human trafficking , both locally and nationally. I chose to investigate two existing social awareness campaigns located in Ohio. The reasons I decided to explore these two organizations is because of the obvious, that my classmates and I are in the state of Ohio but overall, it is due to the fact that this state rank's number five in the nation for human trafficking. There are explanations behind the ranking of Ohio for this issue. The first explanation is due to the inner city centers and country counties, which included a big immigrant population. The second explanation is due to five main highways located throughout Ohio. These highways make it convenient for human traffickers (Ohio State Bar Association, 2014).

You turn on the news and see another story about trafficking in a third world country. You’re not surprised. One day, you see a story about trafficking in the United States. You’re surprised. Human trafficking happens all around the world, yet it’s a taboo subject. Over 20 million people are trafficked around the world. They’re usually forced into labor or prostitution. There are government efforts towards combating this problem. Despite these efforts, the government is not doing enough because in preventing and regulating it.

the United States is using the tools at our disposal to deter, expose, apprehend, and prosecute those who seek to profit by trafficking in their fellow human beings. Modern slavery doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It’s connected to a host of 21st century challenges, including the persistence of extreme poverty, discrimination against women and minorities, corruption and other failures of governance, the abuse of social media, and the power and reach of transnational organized crime. That is why the United States is working with our international partners at every level to attack the root causes of trafficking, warn potential victims, put perpetrators behind bars, and empower survivors as they rebuild their lives. One thing is clear: No nation can

Policies and regulations to combat human trafficking are motivated by diverse concerns; the concern for the humanity of those who are exploited and the concern for the United States’ economy as it participates in the importation of goods from countries who are knowingly active in the various forms of exploitive work. The following policies have been staples in the movement to combat not just a national but a global issue.

The U.S. Department of State reported there’s an estimate of 20.9 million victims of human trafficking. Human trafficking is many occurrences that happen unnoticed anywhere, anytime causing undescribed and inhuman events to the victims. Victims of human trafficking are unable to escape from the life of being raped, beaten, and violated constantly; however, with the support of the government and people around the world, we can help stop it.

"We must show new energy in fighting back an old evil. Nearly two centuries after the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, and more than a century after slavery was officially ended in its last strongholds, the trade in human beings for any purpose must not be allowed to thrive in our time" (George Bush, 2003). Human Trafficking, and other associated evils, have existed since the dawn of time. Today 's human trafficking has become a way of life, a criminal underworld upon whose existence stands crime rings, governments, government agencies and even some businesses. It has grown to a trade of immense dimensions with fingers throughout the entire realm of organized crime. Every aspect can be touched by the it, and it would seem as though there is nothing that can be done that is truly effective. This paper will attempt to analyze what has been done to stop human trafficking and discuss the attempts to stop it.

No nation is immune from human trafficking. Even the most powerful nations are not immune from modern day slavery.The main contributors to human trafficking are governmental corruption, economic and social crisis within each nation's borders.Globalization is the development of an increasingly integration marked especially by free trade that transcends nation-state boundaries. Human trafficking represents a highly and interconnected world because as the world evolves and people become more connected, the transfer of people both voluntarily and coerced is becoming more prevalent. Human trafficking is a very lucrative business that extends beyond nation-state boundaries Human trafficking represents a highly and interconnected world because it is tightly connected to the worlds economy, and ironically is caused by the gap of the wealthy and poor even though it has been present for centuries the government is just beginning to address this common problem.. Globalization seems to have played a major role in the rise of sex slavery and the sex trade but has also played major roles in efforts to stop it.

“Human trafficking deprives people of their human rights and freedoms, it is a global health risk, and it fuels the growth of organized crime. The impact of human trafficking goes beyond individual victims; it undermines the safety and security of all nations it touches (The United States Attorney 's Office Northern District of Iowa, 2015)”.

Governmental actors such as elected legislator and executives should implement strict policies on human trafficking. Traffickers should be held accountable for their actions and should receive tough punishment. The approaches we examined in class that I believe is the most appropriate is the Trafficking Victim Protection Act. It’s the first legislation to defined human trafficking and greatly enhanced criminal sanction. Through the Trafficking Victim Protection Act, a T-Visa is award to victims who have been transported to the U.S. illegally. It allows victims to remain in the U.S. to assist in the prosecution of their perpetrator. In addition, I recommend another way to address this matter is through unity. I believe together the world must

The use of human labor has always been a necessity. Forcing this work has also been continuing since any recorded history. The use of Africans as a work force from the Europeans in the 1400's sparked a new industry in the world. So what is human trafficking? Dr. Alexander Garza (Chief Medical Officer for the Department of Homeland Security) states "human trafficking is a crime involving the illegal trade of human beings for the purpose of exploitation." If we all this plague to continue to effect our communities it will slowly grow. One way to bring about the end to this is by advocating for the problem as it often begins in teenage years. Teachers are a underestimated group that spend an excess amount of time with these kids and can be used

We live in a world where millions of people are sold into human trafficking for the purpose of exploitation. Millions of lives are destroyed every year by smugglers trying to make a profit out human being. According to the U.S. Department of States, an estimated 20.9 million men, women and children are trafficked for commercial sex or forced labor around the world. Human trafficking relinquish people’s freedom and makes them susceptible to modern slavery.

Human sex trafficking is a problem that has been ongoing since the 1990s. As the years go on, the problem seems to get worst and extend throughout the world. Horrible people are kidnapping men, children, and women and turning them into prostitutes to gain money for themselves. The root of trafficking started in Albania around the 1990s which is the country that I will be focusing on in this journal. (On Speedboats, Albanian Sex Trade Could Flare) It is unfortunate that innocent people would fall into the trap of these evil people.

In recent times, the number of human trafficking cases has skyrocketed through the roof. So, what exactly is human trafficking? Human trafficking is defined as a criminal activity, in which people are recruited, harboured, transported, bought or kidnapped for the purposes of exploitation. These exploitations include forced labour, child soldiery, sexual slavery, forced marriages and so on. Statistics show that the main victims of human trafficking consist of women and young girls while children come in a close third (Appendix A). Over the years, human trafficking has become rampant worldwide as the demand for human labour and sex slaves drastically multiplies due to the Internet.
