Human Trafficking Research Paper

Nothing drives emotions out the window more than hearing about innocent children being used for sex. In Cambodia, sex trafficking has grown into a troublesome issue. Sex trafficking has become one of the fastest growing crimes occurring internationally. It is the third largest crime-business in the world, after drugs and arms trafficking. Women, girls, and even men and boys are victims of the billion-dollar sex trafficking industry. Sex trafficking occurs everywhere, and it is not culturally specific, but a gender specific issue. There are numerous cases of sex trafficking within Cambodia, however child sex trafficking is extremely captivating and distressing to learn about.

This research is exploratory because the researchers attempt to point out social trends that play a role in becoming a human trafficking victim. It goes beyond the mere description of human trafficking its causes and effects, the information that the researcher provide might be able to prevent the crime. Or at very least, educate potential victims. This is pure research because the researchers want to expand the body of knowledge of human trafficking. There has been substantial research in regards to victims of human trafficking, this particular study lists a few previous research components.

Each year, “600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders;” half of those people are children (“11 Facts”). Human trafficking is a criminal act and violates human rights; it is especially devastating to children. Countless innocent children and families are impacted by Child Trafficking

This question is one that The BBC does well in answering. It is also successful in breaking down the motives of the crime along with the mindsets and areas that are most susceptible to human trafficking. It is shown that sex trafficking is often an occupation that those who live in places with limited opportunities for education and employment are. Areas where women are viewed as inferior and disposable also fall prey to higher rates of trafficking crimes. This source not only accurately informed us of the technicalities of the  occupation such as popular routes and abduction tactics. All of which should be taken into account when assessing its validity as a source, and if done we see that this truly is a reliable source.  “Human Trafficking: The Lives Bought and Sold.” BBC News, BBC, 28 July

There is many problems in this world today. One of those problems was unknown to me until I read a report from CNN’s reporter Sarah Sidner who is doing a five-part series on Sex Trafficking called the Freedom Report. In her first installment, she addresses that victims of this heinous crime are getting marked by their traffickers.

Are cyber-attacks on national institutions a threat to our country? Yes, While I believe it is important, it does not even begin to register on the same scale as cyber-crime directed against individuals. Human trafficking is modern day slavery, and all too often directed toward luring children who will later be sold for sex. These children are our family; nieces and nephews, sons and daughters, the people we hold near and dear to our hearts. Protecting specifically the innocence of children should be of the utmost concern of our country, and the United States is not doing enough in the fight against cyber-crimes.

I'm going to start this presentation off with a story. This story is about a girl named Karla. You see Karla didn't live an ideal life. Karla had been sexually abused by a relative since she was just five years old. When Karla was about twelve years old, she was waiting around a subway station for her friends. An older man approached her and began connecting with her, telling her that he had also been abused as a child. Shortly after, Karla agreed to take a trip with the man. They planned on going to a nearby town, and little did Karla know, she would be making the worst mistake of her life. This amazing man had soon become her worst enemy. As a twelve year old, this man had forced her to have sex with up to thirty men a day, seven days a week, for four years straight. For those of you who didn't do the math, yes, she was essentially raped a total of 43,200 times. In an interview Karla revealed that the men would laugh at her because she was crying. That she had to close her eyes so that she wouldn't see what they were doing to her, so that she wouldn't feel anything.

I have decided to write about human trafficking it may also be known as teen trafficking. Human trafficking is also about organ harvesting and not just about sexual labor (Lehnardt). Trafficking is dangerous in every way.

Sex trafficking is a serious issue that many in the United States but also the world is not aware of the magnitude. There are thousands of victims of sex trafficking and there are some who are more likely to be victim than others. In this essay, I will show why sex, gender, race, sexual orientation, and economics increases ones' chances of being sex trafficked.

When watching a horror film we are submitted to the momentary feeling of tension and unrealism. Deep inside we know it’s not real and the movie will soon be over. “The Jammed” (2007), “Redlight” (2009), “The Whistleblower” (2010), “Not My Life” (2010), all have two things in common. The first, they are all based on true events of surviving victims of human trafficking; the second is they are films recommended by the (UN.GIFT) an international organization for human trafficking prevention and awareness. So when it comes to human trafficking what role are we each playing in real life?

Victims lack education and employment, therefore they are convinced by promises to a better life through employment and education. Children are also easily lured because they are assured that they will have the opportunity to help their families by finding legitimate employment. Many times children are sold to these traffickers because their families can no longer afford to take care of them, but the families are promised that their children will be well taken care of, when in reality the opposite occurs. A victim can either be sold or abducted into human trafficking. These victims are kidnapped when they are out on the streets, either going to school, work or home. Unfortunately, people who are trafficked may work for little to no money and many times are exposed to sweatshops, mining and agricultural work. Many victims that are forced into these labors “do not try to escape because they are psychologically abused” (Human Trafficking). Not only are these victims worked to an extreme, they are also fearful of running away because authorities threaten to kill them and their families. Victims of human trafficking are often times promised a better future, but in reality they deal with physical abuse and are constantly monitored making it impossible to

Human trafficking is the illegal transportation of people from one place to another. The victims are primarily woman and girls who are then used in the illegal sex trade. There are many people involved in human trafficking including victims, trafficking gangs and organisations started up to help support the victims and prevent future trafficking’s. All of these people involved have different views and perspectives on sex trafficking.

It is the act by which a person is been moved, gathered, by threat, coercion, force to exploit and profit with them. This exploitation includes slavery, prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation or removal or organs. If a person of any age or any gender is brought somewhere else without his or her will without the information of what she or he is getting into it is considered human trafficking. The abduction, transport, sale or receipt of persons national or internationally across from borders from different countries, through force, coercion, fraud; to place persons in slavery conditions, forced labor, servitude. The most common of human trafficking is the sex trade.

We can all probably think of a time we watched a movie that depicted the ominous and illustrious circle of human trafficking. Movies like the blockbuster hit Taken dramatized the storyline in order focus on Liam Neeson’s character who is a father and a retired CIA agent that utilizes his skills to get his daughter back from the possession of sex traffickers. Although the movie is an exaggeration, the reality is that many victims fall into the vicious circle of human trafficking, which does not just include sexual exploitation. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), human trafficking includes “exploiting the prostitution of others, sexual exploitation, forced labor, slavery or similar practices and the removal of organs.” In an event hosted at the United Nations Headquarters, the president of the General Assembly, Mr. John W. Ashe addressed human trafficking issues in the modern world stating that the,” annual profits as high as $36 billion per year, it ranks as the world’s third most profitable crime after illicit drug and arms trafficking.” The profit made by human trafficking involved not just girl and women but it also involves boys and men as well. Many make generalization that naïve girls are the victims to this organized crime; however, the case is that boys and men make up the population of millions of individuals who are victims to human trafficking.
