Human Trafficking Impact

There are several physical and mental consequences for trafficking victims. Some of those consequences are sleeping and eating disorders, fear and anxiety, depression and mood changes, guilt and shame, and posttraumatic stress

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.

There are many kind of effects occur from the human trafficking cases. They can be divided by psychological effects, health effects, and social effects. Most traffickers recruit their victims between ages of 6 to 24, because a young

friends and family. They may have a good job and are looking toward the future that they may have. That person has no idea that someone is watching their every move and studying them to catch on to their habits. In a blink of an eye sometimes their life will be turned upside down and they will never be the same again. During the time of the trafficking, while being put through either prostitution or slavery, they have a sense of self demoral and a feeling that life will never be the same. They have to do what is told of them in order to live or even to make it to the next day. The after effects are not very well known only because women usually do not make it through this process and are killed in order to cover up any wrong doing on the part of the people or organization in charge. You have to remember as well it is never just one person in charge; it is usually a larger group that is telling others what is expectant of them.

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 impacts people of all backgrounds. Men and boys are trafficked into hard labor jobs, and labor positions in textile, agriculture and fishing industries. Women and girls are trafficked into the commercial sex industry, prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation and even drugs. These cultures of immigrants have molded our world in so many ways. The cultures of America has shaped the world as well. When you are born in this country, you have to learn to be tough and strong and learn to survive no matter the cost. Even through a heinous act like human trafficking. No place ever stays the same as it was and the only way to survive in America is to be able to adapt to cultural growth. America, in many ways has set an example

The people that are taken are victimized in ways that are unimaginable. “ A trafficking victims experience includes severe exploitation, such as abduction, rape, sexual enslavement, forced prostitution, beatings, and starvation” (Squillante 224). This happens to the majority of women that are in the human trafficking trade, as none are taken care of properly and treated worse than if they were animals. Sex trafficking creates “a special evil” which exploit innocent and vulnerable victims predominantly consisting of women (Squillante 224). Women that are depressed

For example, victims cannot freely leave or return to their living or working environments, is unpaid or paid little or only through tips, works excessively long hours or at around unusual hours, is not not allowed breaks or suffers strange restrictions at work, owes a significantly large amount of debt and cannot pay it off, was recruited underneath a guise of false promises, and obscene amounts of security measures exist at his or her working or living environments, like boarded or barred windows, barbed wires, or security cameras (National Human Trafficking Hotline). In addition, many victims possess poor mental health or display abnormal behavior, like constant fear, anxiety, paranoia, and submissiveness, even continuously avoiding eye contact (National Human Trafficking Hotline). In like manner, many victims get suspicious or anxious after hearing mentions of law enforcement, even in just normal day to day conversations (National Human Trafficking Hotline). For this reason, many victims similarly lack medical care or are denied medical attention, appear malnourished, show serious signs of physical or sexual abuse, and show signs of physical restraint or confinement (National Human Trafficking Hotline). Lastly, many victims lack control of their own possessions, like financial records, bank accounts, passport, ID, or money (National Human Trafficking Hotline). If these trait in victims are not broken, many victims almost always return to their trafficker. It is a sad reality, but it happens nevertheless. This is why rescue is just not enough, especially when trafficker not only physically damage victims, but also mentally. They need places to safely heal, without fearing that their traffickers might find them again, but shelters just cannot take in extra victims. It is not because they do not want to, but because of

Those who have been trafficked may suffer from serious physical and mental abuse, physical exhaustion and starvation that may occur out of the whole process. Trafficking victims often suffer from serious physical abuse and. Typical injuries can include broken bones, concussion, bruising or burns, as well as other injuries consistent with assault. Some of these serious injuries can cause lasting health problems and may require long-term treatment as trafficked women are prone to multiple abuses over a broad period of time, similar to those who suffer health consequences of prolonged torment. Secondly, the women who are addicted to illicit drugs are more likely to be pushed into prostitution and human trafficking (Goldstein, 1979). The Bill did not clearly mention any health consequences that service providers may face during their operation. Service providers who work with victims should be aware of the severe and interrelated health consequences that result from

Trafficking has a major impact on the emotions of the females being trafficked. Many of these women turn to drugs to cope with this emotional stress. This emotional stress can consist of shame, grief, distress, and suicidal thoughts. The trafficked also sometimes experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PSD), insomnia, depression, and anxiety.

Human Trafficking is one of my biggest concerns for global issues and its effect on the world. The impact of human trafficking on its victims, the families, and economic standing of countries is vast and growing. It’s ability to survive in even the most poverty-stricken countries and in fact thrive from that environment makes it an especially hard issue to resolve. Awareness has been the main fight against human trafficking for several years and has increased knowledge of this issue within our own borders and worldwide. However, raising awareness is only as good as the proposed solutions to the problem and the country’s willingness to fight it. Denial is the most common response I receive when I begin talking about human trafficking and how

Not to mention human trafficking victims also suffer from a variety of physical and psychological health problems. Especially, women who are vulnerable in gender specific health problems to their reproductive system because in human trafficking settings there is minimal to no access to reproductive health care. Furthermore, the trafficking victims have no access to birth control, so they face persistent rapes, involuntary abortions and forced drug use to deliberate prevention of impregnation. Not only do they suffer from health care but also these women lack of regular mammograms and Pap smears, and other health needs they may require. More importantly women in human trafficking are more likely to be raped and physically abused, whereas women

The effect human trafficking has on world today. Human trafficking is victims have been the most disrespect and terrified people in the world. They are sold to slavery either for sex or labor services. The sad part about human trafficking happens right under our noises. I think in some cases of the Unite States some of larger companies that are outsourcing human trafficking in order to keep their business standards by keeping customers happy. Most underage girls from ages 12-18 are used for human trafficking. Some of those girls are runways, or drug addictive and kidnapping from their parent. Human trafficking is the most profitable slavery around the world. Most of majority of human trafficking victims are very vulnerable such as, selling of small children, young underage women and sometimes elderly adults. I really think if someone who condemns this kind of brutal act toward anyone should be sent straight to electric chamber to die. Human trafficking victims has been caught and sold to higher bid for sex or slavery. Human trafficking most target the poor, and disaster area was people lives.in June of 2014, there a new law called JCMST in which it were stated bring down the danger of human trafficking of any kind .also, human trafficking has become a way for child mobilization , and teenage marriage is forced through

Human trafficking has been a major issue that has affected countries all around the world. It is the action of illegally transporting people from one area to another for reasons such as forced labour, sexual exploitation or organ donors. Human trafficking is a matter difficult to tackle and has been addressed in many different ways but there is no one solution. Human trafficking happens a lot in Algeria, because sub-Saharan africans enter Algeria illegally, with the help of smugglers to get to Europe. Victims are then forced to pay off their debts with forced labour, or to join prostitution chains.

In addition, these victims also have higher chances of obtaining serious health risks such as Drug and alcohol addiction, Sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV/AIDS. They can also suffer from menstrual pains, miscarriages, and forced abortions, among other complications. The psychological impact of human trafficking is also very horrifying. Trafficked victims can suffer mental illnesses such as Anxiety, Depression, Fear, Panic disorders and even social ostracism.
