Persuasive Speech On Human Trafficking

“Human trafficking is the recruitment, harboring, and the transport of people within countries for sexual exploitation, forced labor, and/or organ donating.” (Gale) “Slavery is the condition in which one or more persons is owned as property by another and is under the owner’s control.” (American Heritage Dictionary) Trafficked people who are often regarded as disposable, are often used for these various reasons. Although, many believe slavery ended with the Thirteenth Amendment, slavery still exists in 2017.

My children could be vulnerable to sex trafficking if I don’t teach them the dangers of what a conniving, charming, and manipulative person could do by turning them no longer into a friend but a product that is bought and sold for sex. According to Equality Now about 18,000 people in the US and 20.9 million people worldwide adults and children are bought and sold due to sex trafficking. That means one out of forty-three people will be bought and sold into sex trafficking in the US alone and I do not want that one to be any of you. Slavery in any form makes me sick to think about. Sex trafficking is one that upsets me the most. The buying and selling of humans for a sexual and torturous purpose should without a doubt looked upon in a stricter light. Together we need to shed light on this dark topic and know the warning signs of a pimp and of a victim so we can stop something that to the subject seems impossible to stop.

Back in the 1600’s slavery was brought to the United States to help aid in the production of crops. We have come a long ways since then through our government system to help provide a more riotous and free system, the land of the free.

I may have read this sentence incorrect, but after reading this a few times, it appeared to me that you were saying sex trafficking is no longer sex trafficking after age 18. Sex trafficking acts happen to children and adults.

Human trafficking as well as slave labor are not a joking matter, in fact it’s an extraordinarily serious conundrum families go through day after day, being sold to a new owner, and being, treated like animals. Each day humans like you and I are stripped from their houses. Some are set out to work with farms, others, in factories. A slave that is being forced to perform sexual acts against their will is known as a sex slave, mostly women and children who are forced to do sexual acts with their predator. Men and women are being commanded, as well as being controlled to work either by being terrified, or fake love. There are other reasons as well, but those ones are the largest ones. One of the most widely spread influences in business today

jail for killing a man who abused and raped her for years. A Lot of people believe that the prison and justice system has failed tremendously. Many celebrities are trying to bring her justice and find a way for her to be released “The system has failed. It’s heartbreaking to see a young girl sex trafficked then when she has the courage to fight back is jailed for life! We have to do better & do what’s right. I’ve called my attorneys yesterday to see what can be done to fix this. #FreeCyntoiaBrown” (Kardashian 4). She was 16, she lived in a motel with her pimp known as Kut Throat, who raped and abused her while forcing her to become a prostitute. “Institutionalized rape, a form of sexual violence whose aim is to dominate or control its female” (Collins 58). Women back then and now are still being raped and they cannot do anything about it, and even if they do they are the ones who get in trouble because of it.

Well hello there. My name is Kaamar Eason. I'm sixteen and my favorite food is pizza. I kind of don't know why I put my favorite food in this because it's supposed to be a research paper, not a paper that's all about me. Whatever though, most of the time I'm a happy guy but right now I'm not. I'm not too cheery right now because of prostitution, Human Trafficking, and Prostitutes abusing drugs. These three problems I just said is making me unsatisfied. One reason is that this can hurt a person's family. Well no more of that, let's get to the first problem, prostitution.

Although slavery was abolished in 1865, the practice of it is still very alive today. Human trafficking, a form of modern slavery, is the buying and selling of people, whether it 's for forced labor or commercial sex. Every year, thousands of adults and children, especially girls, are forced into the endless trafficking ring. “The International Labour Organization estimates that there are 20.9 million victims of human trafficking globally” (“The Facts”). The human trafficking industry is a worldwide network that is worth an estimated 150 billion dollars (“The Facts”). Millions of stories about victims experiences can be found and read. Many of these victims are sucked into the world of human trafficking because they are immigrants trying to escape to the U.S. and have debts to pay off once they get there. Trafficking happens everywhere, from big city shopping centers, to small town massage parlors. People are being captured, sold, and transported across the world via various forms of transportation at all times. With updated technology, it becomes easier and easier to buy and sell these “slaves” and with this, the chances of being caught and punished is almost nothing. Many people think slavery is dead; however, human trafficking is still alive and it needs to be stopped because many people are being forced into involuntary sex and labor.

More specifically then human trafficking, there is child trafficking. Child trafficking is today’s version of slavery that involves transferring a child for the purpose of abuse or illegal activities. According to the U.S. Department of State, “Child/Human Trafficking is one of the fastest growing crimes in the world and is the world’s second largest criminal enterprise, after drugs. Child trafficking happens in every single country, including the United States. When people think of trafficking of people, most think of women, but children are also being sold as slaves all across the world. Children who are most likely to become victims are those who come from low income homes, have limited access to education and are

Kevin Bales once said “Slavery is theft -- theft of a life, theft of work, theft of any property or produce, theft even of the children a slave might have borne (“Kevin”).” Slavery did not end in the mid-1800s; slavery is very prominent in today’s society. There is a multitude of ways to combat this horrific crime. After the crime is committed is another story due to the trauma the victims are left with and the lack of punishment the perpetrators receive. All in all, human trafficking is in violation of Article 4 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
