Human Trafficking
One of the most serious crimes worldwide, human trafficking is the buying, selling, and transportation of people for the use of sexual exploitation, forced labor, or organ removal. “Human trafficking is modern-day slavery and involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act.” (What is human trafficking Homeland) It happens in the United States and foreign countries. Many people do not see it happening, but in fact it is happening all around the world. It happens in the most unlikely places, for example forced labor could be a hotel maid. “Victims may sometimes be kept behind locked doors, they are often hidden right

Human trafficking includes forced labor, domestic servitude, and commercial sex trafficking.”( Human Trafficking Involuntary)
Worldwide human trafficking affects 1,000,000 people each year and between 20,000 and 50,00 just in the United States. According to data victim 's are 80% female and half are children.”Many victims are runaway girls who were sexually abused as children.”(11 facts) . The United States is considered one of the main locations for victims for trade in the sex-trafficking industry. In countries such as Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and sub-Saharan Africa victims seek options for a better life via the internet, employment agencies or even local residents. Many victims are unaware of the conditions to which they are being recruited for nor do they understand the consequences of human trafficking. The ‘lover boy’ effect is when a girl is approached by a man and the man acts as the girl’s boyfriend and gains her trust by buying things. Then the ‘lover boy’; the recruiter, would ask the girl to meet his ‘friend’; which is the trafficker. “They look for people who are susceptible for a variety of reasons, including psychological or emotional vulnerability, economic hardship, lack of a social safety net, natural disasters, or political instability.”(What is Human Trafficking Homeland)

Working with corporate, personal, and commercial customers they established about 25 retail branches mainly in Ontario and provide many financial services such as general banking, trust, insurance and wealth management.

By 2008, Nipissing was struggling to maintain their clients using their current marketing tools. Their manager of administrative services, McKenzie Scott, is making an attempt to improve these efforts and has a few options with which to

Ugly, disturbing, lucrative; these are the words that come to mind when I hear human trafficking. However, human trafficking is much more complex than these three simple words. Yes, it is an ugly, disturbing, and lucrative business but there are many nuances and intricacies within this system. Although I’m aware of these convolutions, I do not know the specifics, the ramifications and multiplicities. Truthfully, I’ve only scratched the surface of the horrors of the human trafficking network. What I do know is that human trafficking can consist of forced prostitution, sexual activity, labor, and organ harvesting. Human trafficking is often referred to as modern day slavery, using another for free profit.
The typical modern-day American is as busy as a bee and has thousands of things running through his or her mind every day. However, some men and women do not get to spend their days worrying about work, family and friends. Sex trafficking is a form of modern slavery that affects 20.9 million victims worldwide. Sex trafficking victims’ basic human rights are violated every day they are exploited. Traffickers, the men or women who sell their victims for personal gain, recruit and trick their victims into believing the two share a genuine relationship to create vulnerability in their victim. When the trafficker gains his or her victim’s trust, they reveal their true intentions, sometimes by blackmailing and torturing their target until the victim

Around the world human trafficking happens around us without us noticing or realising what is happening. Modern-day slavery exists around the world and it is known today as human trafficking or trafficking in persons.
Human trafficking is the present-day form of slavery that exploits individuals who are either coerced or forced for the purpose of commercial sex or labor exploitation.
Human trafficking, a form of modern-day slavery, is the third largest money making venture in the world; 2.5 million out of 8.1 million of forced labor are sex trafficked and 1.7 million of women and girls are in commercial sexual exploitation (Stone 320). When it comes to human trafficking, it can happen to anyone and anywhere. Many female victims are sexually exploited because women and girls under the age of 18 are lured and misled by promises of employment, leaving their home and consideration that they will have a better life and finding themselves in sexual slavery and fear (“What Is”). Most sex-trafficked victims are unable to escape, but when they do, they use their voices to share their horrid experiences and how it has affected them.
Human Trafficking is a global problem. No one country can stop or even deter it alone. It is far too big of a “business” for that. It is a $150 billion dollar a year industry (Human Rights First, 2014). Of all the ranked crime in the world human trafficking is one of the most diverse in the scope of the crime, as well as the victim. Victims can be subjected to sexual exploitation, hard manual labor, forced private servitude and anything imaginable in between. They can range from small children to adults and may stay in their home country’s or be taken somewhere else. It is an
Human trafficking is an issue that cannot be solved overnight and is growing every minute. While many people believe that human trafficking is non-existent in their state, city, or neighborhood, it is happening all around the world. People may choose to block out the news and stories of human trafficking, but this issue cannot stay hidden. Human trafficking is an issue that severely affects many cultures in today’s
Throughout the entire world certain individuals are being abducted by manipulation, force and physical violence due to modern day slavery also known as human trafficking. Human trafficking has become a global issue and is one of the world’s most unethical crimes. It affects millions of people by forcefully taking their civil rights, dignity and freedom. The acts of human trafficking consist of recruiting, transporting and to selling a person for the purpose of exploitation. The exploitation of modern day slavery deals with sex and forced labor trafficking. Currently, in our society, over 20.9 million people worldwide and over 161 countries are affected by human trafficking (“International” 1). The majority of human trafficking occurs in poverty
Human trafficking is the modern day form of slavery. They are young children, teenagers, men and women that are victims; from all over the world, including the United States. Human trafficking is an organized criminal activity where human beings are treated as possessions to be controlled and exploited; like by being forced into prostitution or forced labor.
Globally, about 20 to 30 million people are involved in the human trafficking system, and of those, 14,500 to 17,500 people are trafficked in the United States every year. Human trafficking is more prevalent today then ever before. It is the third largest crime internationally. People are abused and taken advantage of. According to the article, “11 Facts About Human Trafficking,” on average, a person is forced into the system around age 9, and the majority of victims are women and girls, with a small percentage of men and boys. In addition, the human trafficking system is a $32 billion dollar industry.

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.")
