The paper offers a few proposals with regards to the most ideal route concerning managing the issue of the current slave trade.
Human trafficking dates back to the 1600 and earlier but for this paper it will start with the enslavement of Africans from their home lands. With the Spanish being big in the slave trade they started abducting Africans from their county and taking them to foreign places where language and the environment were strange to them. These smugglers found a very lucrative business in the shipment of slaves. As slaves, once purchased the owner could do what they pleased with them. According to Lightner, one could not just deal in common field hands, but also in pricier goods like house servants, skilled tradesmen, and what the speculators called fancies, by which they meant attractive mulatto women who were sold for purposes of sexual exploitation”
Imagine for a moment you are a normal man or woman. You have lots of friends, a spouse who you love, maybe children and pets too. You have a new co-worker at your job. This person has invited you to come to a party in the less safe part of town, but you accept anyways because you want to become friends with this person. The next thing you remember is waking up in a strange place, surrounded by strange people, they tell you you are to do everything they say or your family and friends will die. You will now be forced to perform sex acts, or forced to work for little to no money, and you won't be allowed to see your family ever again, with no way out unless someone from one of many organizations rescues you. People who are trafficked are used in many ways and for many reasons. Human trafficking victims can go to one of the many organizations for help.

Human trafficking of U.S. citizens and foreign nations persist and thrive for various reasons, one is the low risk involved. This is when the community is unaware of this issue, when the government/community institutions aren’t properly trained to respond, and the biggest reason yet is when law enforcement does not investigate and prosecute the crime, human traffickers perceive little risk or deterrence to affect their criminal operations. The next reason why human trafficking is so successful is because the high profits; when individuals are willing to buy commercial sex, they create a market and make it profitable for the traffickers to sexually exploit children and adults. (“Why”)
There are several factors to why human trafficking exists: poverty, governmental instability, natural disasters, addiction, and organized crime are just a few. Although there certainly are men victimized into trafficking (particularly forced labor), women and children are the most vulnerable to trafficking. Generally, those who become prey to traffickers are poor, weak, ill-educated, or isolated woman (3). Some recruiters befriend teens and adults with the intent of exploiting them.
