Human Trafficking : A Controversial Issue For Many Years

Before going too deep into this issue, everyone should understand what human trafficking is. Human trafficking is the illegal movement of people, typically for the purposes of forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation.This may include providing a spouse in a forced marriage or the extraction of organs or tissues. Yuri Fedotov, the head of the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime, said,“At any one time, 2.4 million people suffer the misery of this humiliating and degrading crime.” It is estimated that only one out of 100 victims of trafficking are ever rescued.

Human trafficking is defined as a recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, of receipt of persons, by means of coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, or abuse of power of a position of vulnerability for the purpose of exploitation (Human Trafficking Information). Today human trafficking, also known as modern-day slavery, has been one of the controversial issues in the United States and nationwide. In fact, it is now considered as the fastest growing multi-billion-dollar business form of organized crime. Also, Human trafficking is affecting the lives of millions around the globe and robbing the victims of their pride. As a matter of fact, Traffickers deceive men, women, and young children from around the world to force them into unspeakable

Human Trafficking and Slavery universally happens in the world when individuals are placed or maintained in and exploitive situation for economic gain. Women, men and children are trafficked for a range of different purposes; forced and exploitative labour in factories, farms and private households, sexual exploitation, and forced marriage. Trafficking can happen to all people if the circumstances are right.

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.

There is estimated almost twenty-one million trafficked humans throughout the world. Sixty-eight percent of the trafficked humans are held captive and forced to work. In North and South America, there is more women trafficked than men, human trafficking is one the most traumatizing things in the world, people in this world are more worried about money, then being humane.

As I looked at facts and myths of human trafficking I realized there are some things I thought I knew about this subject that were completely wrong. Though many think that the only form of trafficking is sex trafficking, there are two forms. Sex trafficking is the most prevalent and forced labour comes in at a close second. There are other reasons that the victims are kidnapped, one of them being to sell their organs on the black market. This of course is not as common as the other two reasons but it does still happen. Another myth is that trafficking has to include

Human trafficking takes two forms, sex trafficking and labor trafficking. Not one is worse than the other, and sometimes victims may be forced into both. While the two

In conclusion I think that human trafficking is a topic that is not talked about a lot and it need to because is very important its a huge topic back then in the slavery year it was a big topic now all you see in the new is touristy attack or global warming which are very important topics but their not the only topics that are important and need to be heard by the public people need to know that slavery still exists.So what would you do if you were being stripped of your freedom and you were practically a slave what would you think knowing your family or your close friend were a victim and still is a

Human trafficking has been around for many years, from Greeks to the Roman to medieval times, and even until to today. It is a worldwide issue. People have been exposed to many forms of oppression. The Richmond Justice Initiative told the Holly Austin Smith story. “When Holly Austin Smith was Fourteen years old, she ran away from home with a man. Holly often suffered from depression, but still had dreams of being a singer. Holly exchanged numbers with a man. Then, the man had called her. He asked her questions like, what were her dream? He also got to know her. What she thought was freedom turned into out to be an inexorable clutches of sex trafficking” (“Survival Story”). Trafficking is a dangerous act that can get young people

Human trafficking is the trade of humans, most commonly for the purpose of sexual \slavery, and forced labor. Forms of human trafficking dates back to at least to the 1400’s. In the 1400s through the 1600s the first signs of human trafficking were seen. The African slave trade is an example of a form of human trafficking. During the slave trade Africans were captured and sold

Human trafficking is one of the most popular ways to get a lot of cash. Money is one of the most important things in a person's everyday life, people do a lot of things to get that money. Most women prostitute to make some money, others do life threatening jobs, but many young girls that want money do stupid things like getting involved with trafficking. Many people would say “oh, that is not in our country nor our neighborhood, it can’t be.” But it is. Everyone should have that fear that they could be in danger. Most of the captors or the human trafficker find their prey or the ones getting trafficked in places with low education and have destruction ( hurricane destruction, tornado destruction,floods, etc. )areas where people have barely any money to provide for themselves.

Human trafficking has been a long standing issue, but in recent years it has grown rapidly. The prevalent problem in the United States surrounding human trafficking is that most assume it is only happening in other countries. Dale Archer, a board-certified Psychiatrist, acknowledges that human trafficking is formally explained by the UNODC, or the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime to be the taking of people by fraud, force or deception, with a goal of exploiting the person. There are several different parts to human trafficking such as forced labor, sex trafficking, servitude, slavery, and forced organ donation. It accumulates over 32 million dollars a year, which makes it one of the largest illegal activities in the world. Surprisingly,

Human trafficking is very inhuman and violates a persons human rights. Human trafficking can be defined as recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of persons, by threat and the use of force and other forms of coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, abuse of power or position of vulnerability, giving or receiving payments, benefits to achieve the consent of a person, having control over another human being, and

Human trafficking is one of the most dangerous crimes touching humanity. Because it violates the basic human rights to life and liberty of a significant proportion of the world’s population, of whom are socially, economically and politically vulnerable. It makes the processes of recruiting, transporting, hiding and holding, and finally receiving a person through a use of force, coercion, false promise, and monies for the purpose of exploiting them. In the article human trafficking: preventing, protecting prosecuting by Susie Johnson on page 3 there is a fact that states “through out the world 27 million people are trafficked”. These victims are used for a number of different purposing including, but not limited to prostitution, pornography,
