Human trafficking has been a controversial issue for many years. There are different types of trafficking, which helps makes it a widely diverse issue. In Thailand, traffickers rely on the poor desperate people of other countries as well as their own to fulfill their needs financially, physically, and emotionally. Thailand has various reasons why they use human trafficking; sex exploitation, forced labor, and obtaining their organs for an organ transplant. Sex exploitation has been used by mainly men for a long time. They choose both women and children to violate, sometimes even men. The prettier the woman is the more she is worth. All men, woman, and children could be forced into labor. This varies from what the owner wants from them. People can also choose to go and work for them because they think this is their only way of making money, but they usually do not see much of it. Finally, others purchase them just for their organs. There are very long waiting lists on some organs, by the time one comes about the person in need of the organ has already passed away. There are a number of steps and reasons that are involved in human trafficking. With all of these issues of; sex exploitations, and forced labor, and organ trafficking, the trafficked can become physically and mentally injured.

Everyday millions of people are enslaved, used, and abused in one of the greatest civil rights violations in human history. Modern slavery; better known as human trafficking, is currently spanning the globe and affecting millions of people in hundreds of countries but is widely ignored by society. According to a reporter for National Geographic Magazine, “There are more slaves today than were seized from Africa in four centuries of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The modern commerce in humans rivals illegal drug trafficking in its global reach and the destruction of lives” (Cockburn). This epidemic is sorely in need of becoming a priority for 1st world governments which will only happen with pressure from ordinary citizens. Similar to the civil rights movement in 1960’s America, people are being abused, hurt, and denied their fundamental rights. What’s true now just as it was then is that it is the responsibility of every person to come together to create change.

In today’s day and age human trafficking is a serious problem that is only getting worse as we become more technologically advanced. It is easy to transport human beings across the border, on ships, and into foreign countries. Women, children, and even men are the victims of these individuals. These poor souls stolen for the sex trade or for physical labor as a slave in modern world. As our enemies become more sophisticated in their evil craft, so must our law enforcement and investigation agencies. In order to stay up to par with the enemy these organizations make sure they stay up to date with the most advanced programs, tools, and systems in order to not only catch those responsible for mayhem, but to give a sense of justice to those who were wronged in the first place.

Human trafficking is one of the biggest human rights issues facing our world today. This practice makes much money for those who traffic humans, and destroys the lives of its victims. Brothels have been legal in Germany since 2002, and it is no coincidence that Germany 's largest brothel is just a few miles drive from the French border. Prostitution is illegal in France, and due to the Schengen Agreement, French citizens can travel freely to patronize the brothel. Prostitution is a huge business in Germany, which has experienced a boom in sex tourism and now has at least 400,000 prostitutes working within its borders. Germany 's Federal Statistics Office estimates that the country 's sex trade is responsible for €15 billion in economic activity each year. Because of the amount of patrons and money coming in to the industry, traffickers can make a lot of money trafficking victims in for small amounts of money, that lead to huge payoffs. However, it is now a crime to buy sex from someone who has been trafficked. Germany believes that this horrible practice is a very pressing issue, and one that, as the United Nations Human Rights Council, we must solve immediately.

Human trafficking is viewed as modern day slave exchange. It is a genuine crime under both global and national legal systems. It opens casualties to economic exploitation with a significant number of them being women and children less than 18 years old years. It is essential to know the way that human trafficking has raised critical human rights issues, particularly concerning women and children as stakeholders are beginning to reexamine their way to deal with this societal issue. Human trafficking has emerged as the third greatest criminal industry by drug trafficking and illicit arms. The human trafficking industry has helped in the expansion of different crimes, such as child abuse, prostitution and violence against women.

In today’s society, human trafficking is a war that is fought all over the world. This form of modern day slavery affects people of all genders, specifically women and children. This is a global issue that is known throughout the world. For purpose of this paper research was done and, human trafficking will be addressed by the social impact and statistics in the United States, the Victims Protection Act of 2000, the human facts for human trafficking, as well as the overall importance of mental health services after dealing with such a traumatic ordeal. Women and children are recruited by pimps and peers appearing to be friends in malls, schools, at bus stops or as runaways on the street. Once victims are befriended, they take the

Human Trafficking is a horrendous crime that takes advantage of people through the illegal trading of human beings for purposes of forced labor, and commercial sexual/child exploitation. Traffickers tend to prey on the vulnerable, those who want a better life, have little or no employment opportunities, very unstable, and have a history of sexual abuse. With this being popular in society, anyone can easily become a victim. By being an undocumented immigrant, runaway and homeless youth, and a victim of trauma and abuse, you have already put a target on your back. The most popular victims are the undocumented immigrants due to the lack of legal status, language barriers, limited employment options, and social isolation. ("The Victims.")

Sierra Leone has seen a lot of human rights infringement for the past several decades. As a result of both the export of conflict diamonds and the ongoing civil war that they fund, women both young and old have been subject to terrible mistreatment as part of their daily life. Large social and economic costs have wreaked havoc on Sierra Leone and its citizens as a direct result of the diamond trade. Women in Sierra Leone, and young girls in particular, are born into the world already disadvantaged. They are routinely disrespected and mistreated, with little hope for positive change. Society prevents them from pursuing education, employment, opportunities for personal growth and even basic human rights.

Human trafficking is the modern day equivalent of slavery and must be recognized as such by the international community. The problem cannot be solved unless the whole world takes action and collaborates. A good solution may be to create a force commissioned to combat and eradicate trafficking. Also, the security in border patrol can increase its efficiency allowing the checking of everyone coming in and going out. Another solution could be the education of people about it. Beginning in schools and educating children can be a huge benefit so that they become aware of the situation. It's time to take action over this problem and reduce what can be named one of the world's worst

Slavery is a modern, pervasive problem. Human trafficking has been found in every state in America (humantrafficking.org). It seems that most Americans likely live within a comfortable drive of someone who is being exploited through human trafficking.

More specifically then human trafficking, there is child trafficking. Child trafficking is today’s version of slavery that involves transferring a child for the purpose of abuse or illegal activities. According to the U.S. Department of State, “Child/Human Trafficking is one of the fastest growing crimes in the world and is the world’s second largest criminal enterprise, after drugs. Child trafficking happens in every single country, including the United States. When people think of trafficking of people, most think of women, but children are also being sold as slaves all across the world. Children who are most likely to become victims are those who come from low income homes, have limited access to education and are
