Human Trafficking : A Big Problem

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.

27 million people all over the world are currently being forced into human trafficking or modern day slavery, 161 countries including the US will be affected by human trafficking. 1 million children will be exploited by the commercial sex trade each year. Sex trafficking began in the 1700s in the United States. It hasn’t been stopped because it continues to increase over the years. Even though the law enforcement and people around the world could be strong enough to stop human trafficking, I believe this situation needs to be more focused on and stopped as soon as possible. Because Human Trafficking is increasing rapidly and Oklahoma is a cross-way for sex trafficking due to the interstates such as I-35, I-40 and I-44.

Imagine being taken from the comfort of your house and family. Then envision that you are forced to either inject or ingest as drugs to give sexual pleasure to one person while the other reaps financial benefits. You are experiencing such atrocity at the same moment in which your loved ones are mourn your loss. Eventually, you are unrecognizable and affected by traumatizing experiences. The effects that you frequently feel are numb and now you are suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. This is the reality that many endure on daily basis. It is caused by the constant practice of human trafficking.

Human trafficking is a worldwide problem that needs to be stopped before it gets out of hand. People all around the world are being abused physically and emotionally. There are many types of human trafficking, but two most known are sex trafficking and “human slavery”. Human trafficking is an issue that affects a wide range of people and the MN legislature should create harsher laws that make consequences for these actions by the time of 2019. Due to the issues of human trafficking it has become a problem that needs to be solved.

There is a wide misconception among Americans that support the idea that human trafficking is something that only occurs overseas and not something that takes place in the United States. As a country that puts a huge value on freedom of choice, many U.S. citizens naively wish to believe that such an inhumane offense could never occur on our own free soil. Unfortunately, this notion is not true at all and domestic trafficking is an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed within our own borders. In addition to this disturbing crime occurring in our country, it is apparent that female immigrants are the most at risk of being victims of this crime. A better understanding of why this crime occurs would be beneficial in all aspects of the law and would aid in preventing domestic trafficking from reoccurring and in helping those more at risk to become safer. From a policing standpoint it is clear that only through a more comprehensive and in-depth look into what provokes criminals to become involved in domestic trafficking, by utilizing different criminological theories, can there be any real changes. The key is not only to stop one specific instance of domestic trafficking in the U.S. but to also aid in preventing it from reoccurring. It is also important to utilize different criminal theories when considering what makes immigrant women more vulnerable when it comes to this specific crime. If more officers of the law become more educated regarding the different

Ever since human trafficking has become an epidemic, police have been struggling to stop it. Human trafficking is "the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt that profits from enslaving people for sexual servitude and forced labor" (35). Traffickers are members of highly sophisticated networks of organized crime. Human trafficking occurs all around the world today leaving no discrimination towards anyone. Not everyone is aware of it being an issue in the United States, as opposed to many foreign countries. In the United States alone, traffickers earn up to 9.5 billion dollars yearly. Not only does human trafficking includes sex and labor, but also smuggling, which makes it the

Human trafficking needs to be stopped because it is a problem around the world and affects all kinds of people. People are being sold for labor and sex. A motive for the people selling other humans is that they make millions of dollars. This is so wrong since they are held against their will to be forced to do things they do not want to. More laws against human trafficking should be made by Matt Dean and Roger Chamberlain by 2019.

There are many problems in the world that people don’t acknowledge enough. People don’t feel safe in their own environment because women and children are being taken from their families and their homes to be sold to the highest bidder. If I could solve one problem in the world, it would be to put an end to human trafficking because there is no awareness of this problem and because human beings should be treated as people, not objects.

Human Trafficking is something that goes around all over the world. In this essay I will discuss what human trafficking is, how it is done and give three countries who are mainly known for this kind of inhuman act. The three countries are countries that are vey much known and are known as Bangladesh, Brazil and Ghana. All three countries are known for tourism so human trafficking is expected to be in act, especially if its over populated and having different people from different countries coming in and out. Human Trafficking is not something that should be promoted or celebrated and should be put to a stop. It is not fair for people to be taken against their will from their families and friends. Men, women, and even kids are being taken, so a person should never just think they’re special if not caught they are blessed instead. Human trafficking is sickening and a disgrace to every nation and country possible.

During the past 10 years’ human trafficking has recognized as major illegal and problematic activity within the criminal justice system throughout the United States and a majority of the world. Although much attention has been paid to the worldwide aspect of human trafficking it is important to realize its domestic prevalence. According to ------------------ and estimated 200,0000 to 300,000 immigrants are trafficked illegally within the United States from impoverished countries. The topic of human trafficking has proved to be the point of interest amongst advocates of human rights as well as the media as it violates basic human rights at its core. Shared Hope International, a nonprofit organization, has found that most of the identified victims in Texas cities are racial minorities and come from households with vulnerable socioeconomic status. Although human trafficking has gained prevalence in the past years and it’s a relatively new phenomenon it has gained the attention of policy makers to adjust laws to protect those who may become involved or become victims of this trend. This essay will serve to discuss the prevalence of human trafficking, especially within the illegal immigrant community, there are several keys which make this particular population susceptible to his type of illicit and illegal activity

Human Trafficking occurs in every country in the world. It is a global issue driven by poverty. The most common countries to which victims are exported are in Western Europe, Western Africa, Asia, Arab Nations and North America. The highest destination countries are Belgium, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Thailand, Turkey and the U.S. The main countries of origin of victims are Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern European countries, former Eastern bloc and Soviet Union countries, Latin America and the Caribbean.

The African Slave Trade began long ago in the 15th Century, after the Portuguese started exploring the coast of West Africa. It is now six centuries later and we as a human race still cannot say that slavery has ended. Since the onset of African slave trading, trafficking of women and children has since developed and atrociously branched into the trafficking of human organs as well as sex. It wasn 't until several hundreds of years later that the Emancipation Proclamation would be created and signed. President Abraham Lincoln ordered and issued the Emancipation Proclamation as a war measure for the sole purpose of abolishing slavery in the United States during the Civil War. As time passes on, it seems to have been nothing as

Villages in South China are drained of people. Young men are absent in some parts of Mexico. Northern Thailand has communities where there are no women between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. Thousands of women have disappeared due to sexual labor and trafficking in Moldova, Ukraine, and Russia. There are people around the world suffering from psychological damage, PTSD, anxiety, flashbacks, fear, insomnia, depression, sleep disorders, panic attacks, self-blame, and suicidal thoughts. Men and women are locked in factories at night to prevent escape. Traffickers use their patterns of travel to move terrorists. The profits made from human trafficking are part of the funding power for conflict and corruption in countries; the money made by traffickers is being used to bribe government officials into compliance and fund political parties and their campaigns (Shelley, 2010). Human trafficking is used to provide manpower and wealth to illegal trade of drugs and weapons (Neumann, 2015). When women are rescued from brothels they are not given protection unless they claim complete innocence and ignorance, even if they had been coerced or deceived into accepting the work (Bastia, 2006). Human trafficking arrests sustainable development, propels corruption and crime, and even may feed terrorism. Public health risks increase with the rise of trafficking. Human trafficking is illegal everywhere, but nearly every country is affected by it. “The U.S. State Department estimates that

We lived in the world where our environments have been contaminated by some series of behaviors which affects the society in different norms such as poverty, discrimination, homelessness and others. It is true that climatic change has a possibility of making and leading large numbers of individuals to experience severe strains, but most strains are blamed on other people or individuals. We can see this situation mostly in the environment and areas where there is poverty and when people are unable to find relief either because they cannot count on the government for help. As Agnew and Kaufman (2010) suggested, “that these type of conditions are conducive to the development of beliefs and values favorable to crime.”

Everyday men, women and children are trafficked in and out of Moldova; some are transported willingly, others are tricked, and some are kidnapped. Hundreds are daily losing their freedom and becoming slaves to the will of their exploiters. While the trafficking of persons can be for forced labor, a study from 2000 reports that one fourth of global trafficking is for sexual purposes. Sadly, in Moldova trafficking for the purpose of sex constitutes 80% of the total trafficking in the country and a 10% of the Moldovan population has been trafficked. Today in Moldova a human being can be purchased for as little as $150 (US dollars). This is a true crisis of human rights. What is the cause of this crisis? According to Kligman and
