Human Trafficking and Illeagl adoption

Human trafficking is the act or practice of illegally transporting people from one country or area to another, typically for the purposes of forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation, however, it is continuing to grow in the united states and is happening everywhere not just in other countries. In this essay, I want to explain how human trafficking is involved in human services and how we can help people get help after they have been a victim of human trafficking. Victims can be men or women, or children, foreign nationals or U.S. citizens, the attacker normally draws in the victim with a stable job, education, or relationships.

Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery in which traffickers use fraud or coercion to profit from forcing victims in commercial sex acts or labor services ("Human Trafficking".) It is a market-driven criminal industry that is based on the principles of supply and demand, like drugs or arms trafficking. Many components make children and adults susceptible to human trafficking. Traffickers target vulnerable people for a variety of reasons, including psychological or emotional issues, economic hardship, lack of safety, or political instability. Unfortunately, victims rarely seek help due to language barriers, fear of the traffickers and law enforcement, or fear of potential consequences. Knowing how to identify signs of human trafficking is the first step in pinpointing victims. Additionally, we can assist victims by modifying criminal policy, receiving more state funds, participating in organizations, and raising awareness.

Human trafficking has been a controversial issue for many years. There are different types of trafficking, which helps makes it a widely diverse issue. In Thailand, traffickers rely on the poor desperate people of other countries as well as their own to fulfill their needs financially, physically, and emotionally. Thailand has various reasons why they use human trafficking; sex exploitation, forced labor, and obtaining their organs for an organ transplant. Sex exploitation has been used by mainly men for a long time. They choose both women and children to violate, sometimes even men. The prettier the woman is the more she is worth. All men, woman, and children could be forced into labor. This varies from what the owner wants from them. People can also choose to go and work for them because they think this is their only way of making money, but they usually do not see much of it. Finally, others purchase them just for their organs. There are very long waiting lists on some organs, by the time one comes about the person in need of the organ has already passed away. There are a number of steps and reasons that are involved in human trafficking. With all of these issues of; sex exploitations, and forced labor, and organ trafficking, the trafficked can become physically and mentally injured.

“I want my mommy” is a common phrase used by kids who are in emotional distress and want to find comfort. To hear a child utter those words would be enough to evoke empathy in most Americans. Unfortunately, while most Americans look at a child as helpless, emotional, and pure, there is a darker side to the U.S population. This demographic actively chooses to disregard a child's innocence and uses them for their own personal needs: sex trafficking. Sex trafficking is the exploitation of nonconsensual people that occurs throughout the United States and Globally. Oftentimes the victims are subjected to threats, violence, and other forms of coercion to compel their victims to perform commercial sex acts. The reason this is a problem is that sex

Polaris Project, who is one of the nation’s leading organizations for spreading awareness and working towards putting an end to human sex trafficking, gives a great look into what some potential red flags can be. Some of the warning signs can include, a person under the age of 18 (but possibly older) performing sex acts for a pimp or manager. Another sign could be a person who is full of constant fear and anxiety, avoiding eye contact and not being free to leave and do things that they want. If someone shows signs of sexual abuse or torture, these are signs that they need help. These are just a few of the many warning signs and red flags that could potentially show that someone is a victim of human sex trafficking. This can no longer be ignored. There are resources available for past and present victims and it is time that they get the help they deserve. It is time to be their

Trafficking in human beings is now the fastest-growing business of organized crime. Men, women and children are trafficked within their own countries and across international borders. More than one person is smuggled across a border every minute which is the equivalent to ten jumbo jets every single day. And the trade earns twice as much as the Coca Cola brand. (STOP THE TRAFFIK 2014)

According to the Human Trafficking of Children in the United States, there are ways to spot a child in trade. For example, some signs of trafficking may include; “concealing recent scars… has a boyfriend or girlfriend who is noticeably older… demonstrates a sudden change in attire, personal hygiene… or material possessions” (“Human Trafficking”). They also might fail to attend classes on a daily basis, look as if they are hungry, sleep deprived, show signs of drug addiction, or have seemed to have rehearsed responses to specific frequently asked questions (“Human Trafficking”). Some of these children are in the business for years, others are in it for only one night, and some will never have their freedom again. That is what happened to a young woman named Holly Austin

First, one can educate themselves about how severe the crime is in the United States and what type of actions they should be looking for, if they suspect someone is a victim. Second, a person can identify any suspicious activity that may come across as human trafficking. If one has the opportunity to interact with a possible victim, without either one being harmed, they should try to discover further information (Braver, 2010). Some questions a spectator may want to ask are, “How did he or she come here? Did he or she have to pay a lot of money to get a job here? Is it what he or she expected?” (Braver, 2010). If one’s speculations lead them to believe there is evidence of human trafficking, they can “contact the National Human Trafficking Resource Center and Hotline at 1-888-3737-888” (Braver, 2010). Third, one can become involved in organizations that help fight against human trafficking. Two companies well-known in the United States are Polaris Project and A21. Both organizations strive to make others aware of human trafficking, prosecute traffickers, provide services to victims, and fundraise money to continue restoration projects. Fourth, one can pay closer attention to their purchases, by checking if a company’s products take part in oppressed labor (Braver, 2010). Potential customers can notice if products may be a part of human

Why would anyone care if a child is adopted from another country? Does the care of adopted children from another country really matter? Since the last couple of decades, couples have been able to adopt children from other countries including the United States. Ethnic adoption can ruin a child’s life. It can ruin a child’s life just because love is not enough. There are many factors that need to be emphasized in regards to ethnic adoption.

Victims from human trafficking suffer disorders as a result of their experience. The symptoms are anxiety depressive disorders, substance abuse and post traumatic stress disorder these are similar to the symptoms that torture victims have. Young victims tend to feel isolated depression, survivor guilt and behavioral or aggression problems. It is important that victims get help and treatment.

The signs of human trafficking are lying about your age, injuries and signs of physical abuse. Some factors of vulnerability is being a female, being a child, poverty, running away and living in an abusive home.

Although both processes are illegal, only human trafficking violates fundamental human rights. Human trafficking is the largest growing industry in the world. The most recent Trafficking in Persons Report of the Department of State from 2010 states that about 800,000 people are trafficked across borders annually and a total number of approximately 12.3 million persons are currently in forced labor, bonded labor, and forced prostitution worldwide, with the majority of trafficking victims being women and children (Dep. of State 8). The ebook Human Trafficking: An Overview by the United Nations Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking states that the victims are recruited through abduction or kidnapping, false promises about legitimate employment or legal residence permits, and selling by families. The majority of the victims, however, knew the traffickers personally before being trafficked (UN GIFT 21-22). Human trafficking has emerged throughout the last years because slave traffickers have discovered the profitability of trading people. According to the Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking, estimated annual profits from human trafficking amount up to US$31.7 billion (UN GIFT 7).
