Persuasive Speech About Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is a growing problem in the world today, and will soon be the largest criminal industry in the world.

Sex trafficking is becoming more of a problem as time moves on. Sex trafficking is the recruitment, harbouring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act, in which the commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion [Internet Safety 101]. Sex trafficking is increasing due to the evolution of modern day social services and sources. From safety sources, it is the second fastest growing criminal industry, [Internet Safety 101]. Increasingly, sex trafficking is coming about due to the evolution of the internet and the improved ability of GPS tracking. On social media, many people find other people and try to be their friend, even if they don't know who they are. This provides opportunities for fake people to create more of a problem. The internet is providing different advertising places that can increase the effect of sex trafficking and lure in citizens to becoming victims. Sex trafficking has to come to an end for the safety of citizens, for the safety of their pride and dignity.

Everyday millions of people are enslaved, used, and abused in one of the greatest civil rights violations in human history. Modern slavery; better known as human trafficking, is currently spanning the globe and affecting millions of people in hundreds of countries but is widely ignored by society. According to a reporter for National Geographic Magazine, “There are more slaves today than were seized from Africa in four centuries of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The modern commerce in humans rivals illegal drug trafficking in its global reach and the destruction of lives” (Cockburn). This epidemic is sorely in need of becoming a priority for 1st world governments which will only happen with pressure from ordinary citizens. Similar to the civil rights movement in 1960’s America, people are being abused, hurt, and denied their fundamental rights. What’s true now just as it was then is that it is the responsibility of every person to come together to create change.

A major factor that plays into the extreme increase of human trafficking is globalization and an economic unbalance across nations. Inequality across countries has played a large factor in the expanding of human trafficking as an import and export business. Countries that are suffering from poverty are profiting greatly from the illegal industry of human trafficking

One of my all time favorite musicals as I was growing up was alway Annie, about a sweet little orphan who through determination and a little positivity found a better life. But has happened to orphans nowadays, you don’t exactly drive by your neighborhood orphanage on your way to work. It seems that these children have disappeared, virtually falling off the face of the earth. Today they are called foster kids with families like my own housing them. The early foster system was established in the 1500s in order to care for children who were removed from their parents. Foster care was intended to be a short-term solution until the child is either adopted or reunited with their family. However, the average child will spend over two years waiting to be adopted. But the flaws in this system run much deeper, from mental disorders all the way to human trafficking. Human trafficking through the foster system is a dire problem that can not be neglected. We will examine this today by looking at three points; recognizing what the problem, understanding the pressure that they are under, and finally how you and i can help provide the promise of a new life

What’s the word that describes someone who thinks that the world revolves around them? Self-centered? Egocentric? Narcissist? Vain? Self-seeking? Selfish? Hm. Is that too harsh? We live in society today where we are only concerned about ourselves. Somehow, we have adopted the mentality that life revolves strictly around me and what I want. We are so consumed with ourselves that we have totally forgotten about the thousands of people who struggle every day for their life. Who are these people that I am talking about? The people who are promised a better life but instead are trapped into this terrible system where they are forced to do things they never knew about. This system is called Human trafficking. Today, I would like to convince you that this world does not revolve around you.

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

Thesis: Human Trafficking is steadily increasing worldwide that results in slavery, violence, and even death.

You turn on the news and see another story about trafficking in a third world country. You’re not surprised. One day, you see a story about trafficking in the United States. You’re surprised. Human trafficking happens all around the world, yet it’s a taboo subject. Over 20 million people are trafficked around the world. They’re usually forced into labor or prostitution. There are government efforts towards combating this problem. Despite these efforts, the government is not doing enough because in preventing and regulating it.

Human trafficking is a serious problem in modern society. In fact, the United Nations has referred to it as “one of the gravest human rights violations of our times” (“Secretary - General Calls Human Trafficking”). It is a fast growing industry that affects millions. No gender, age, or status is spared from the cruelty that is trafficking. To stress this point again, human trafficking is not just a problem of the “world” or “United States”, in general. As previously seen, it strikes very close to home, affecting hundreds of men, women, and children of our own community. In fact, “North Carolina ranked as a top-10 state for human trafficking with Charlotte being the top destination. It is estimated that more than 1,700 girls are trafficked

A. People who are trafficked for sex feel completely helpless, and the horror they have to go through is not fully acknowledge.

Human trafficking can take many forms, as well as many victims. One form of trafficking is slavery. Slavery is having a worker who is unpaid and who works by force using coercion, fraud or threat of bodily harm. “According to the United Nations, there are between 27 and 30 million modern-day slaves in the world (Jesionka, “Human Trafficking: The Myths and the Realities”).” “By 1860, the nation’s black population had jumped from 400,000 to 4.4 million, of which 3.9 million were slaves.(Henry Louis Gates).” That means there are nearly ten times more slaves today than there were in the late 1800’s.

Human trafficking is a serious issue occurring internationally. According to the organization Allies Against Slavery, 30,000 women, men, and children

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

You walk into a diner and find a booth to sit at. You look across of you and see a young girl surrounded by men much older than her. You think they are her Uncles; as you finish your meal, you get up to leave and go to pass her table. As you pass, something catches your eye; she's watching you pass by and glances at her napkin and you see it “HELP ME!!” . You then realized something is wrong and go outside and called the police. When the police shows up and sees the girl he calls for backup; his backup team shows up and enter the diner and approach the table. They only thing you can hear is glass breaking, chairs being thrown, and her screams. And all you can do is break down. Soon, came out the police officer with the 4 men. One of the police officers comes up to you and says, “ We have been looking for this young girl for 6 months, she was kidnapped and was involved in the sex trafficking world; you saved her.” As you look up you see the young girl walking towards you, she comes up to you and she hugs you and said “ Thank you, you saved me from that horrible world.” Only if this was true. Many people don’t notice the signs of distress because they are uneducated and caught up in there own world. This is why sex trafficking should be a more public and school topic because people are oblivious that it’s around them and the ones who are; are scared for their kids to play outside in there yard.
