Sex Slaves From The United States

Mexico is a Tier 2 source, transit, and destination country. It’s primary forms of trafficking are sexual exploitation and forced labor. Men, women, and children are trafficked, but the most vulnerable populations are indigenous peoples, migrants, mentally and physically disables, and LGBT individuals. Victims are forced into labor in the agriculture, domestic, manufacturing, food processing, construction, begging, and street vending services. Many victims are lured by fraudulent recruiters, possibility of romantic relationships, extortion, debt bondage, and the possibility of harm to family members. Women’s shelters and rehabilitation facilities become agencies for traffickers into forced labor and sexual exploitation. Child sex tourism flourishes and tourists come from the United States, Canada, and Western Europe. Many Mexican citizens and families exploit children into the commercial sex trade. Organized crime is actively involved and make men, women, and children engage in illicit activities, become assassins, aid as lookouts, and help in the production, transport, and sale of drugs. Government officials at every level either actively participate of are complicit in human trafficking. Many law enforcement, judges, immigration officials extort bribes, partake in sexual services from women and children, falsify documents, facilitate movement across borders, threaten victims if they choose to file a formal complaint, operate and patronize brothels, and refuse to respond

It is sad but today people are being bought, sold, and smuggled like modern-day slavery plus it's happening not only in third world countries, but also in the United States. In the U.S Constitution the 13th Amendment states,“‘Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction”’ (A+E Networks,2015), which means the 13th amendment made slavery and involuntary servitude illegal everywhere in the United States. Human Trafficking can be limited by parental awareness to educate their own children to be safe. Human Trafficking also be limited by the government having stricter country and international

The reason why I pick to write about human trafficking is, because this is something not everyone talks about. Human trafficking is when some buy or sale someone as property. In order for this to happen it needs a buyer and it also needs a seller. In order for human trafficking to be control they would need a study buyer and a study seller. When you think of the word slavery you think it wouldn't be anything that come in the present day everyone think of this word as in being in the passed or don't exist anymore. Humans being force to do work with no freedom, no choice, also no pay. There are still slavery going on in this world today just because this is not the type of slavery we are used to, but we need to be aware about. Human trafficking and undocumented immigration is on a greater scale of slavery within this day of age.

Many people believe that slavery was abolished in the 17th century; however, this is only partly correct. Slavery is technically illegal in the United States, but on the black market, humans are still constantly trafficked. Specifically, a lot of men, women and children are trafficked from another country and brought to America to be a slave. This comparison will focus on the similarities of today’s human trafficking and 17th century American Slavery, specifically relating to sexual exploitation of slaves. This comparison will show the disturbing lack of attention this horrible act is getting in the media and the lack of focus or public education system has in the re-telling of history.

The life of African slaves in America was a difficult journey. Slaves were treated like animals, having no hope and even no dignity. Most of them were from West Africa. Roughly 20 million were pulled out of their homes, and taking from their homeland into slavery. Half didn't complete the jouney while dying along the way. It was known as the Middle Passage because the cargo was part of a thre part voyage. The first cargo arrived carrieng iron, cloths, brandy ,firarms, and gunpowder where it was exchanged for Africans. While sailing for America the slaves were exchanged for tobacco, sugar and other products. Africans were bound and shackled with chains, and their necks were tied with a leather brace. They were kept under the ship know as the

In America illegal crimes are committed every day. One out of the three most frequent illegal crimes committed is sex trafficking. Sex trafficking is a major issue throughout the world. Most of the victims in sex trafficking are American-born. Not only women are considered victims of sex trafficking but also men can be forced into a life of sex trafficking. Sex trafficking is considered modern day slavery. The number of victims that are minors is one-third of the whole total. The United States has been trying to end Sex Trafficking to no avail. No matter what laws are set in place pimps find a way to get around the laws all together.

Many people are surprised to hear that human trafficking is not just a problem outside of America’s borders and that it is becoming more of an American problem as time goes on. With only trading illegal drugs in front of it, human trafficking has become the world’s second largest criminal industry. The numbers are only estimations because most human trafficking is done secretly

Overview: Every country in the world has now abolished slavery, yet millions of people continue to find themselves subject to contemporary forms of slavery and human trafficking, such as child labor, sex traf-ficking and forced or bonded labor. In this paper I will demonstrate why it is important to recognize human trafficking as a matter of human rights and social justice, rooted in larger structural issues relating to the global economy, human security, foreign policy, and labor and gender relations. Such reframing involves overcoming several of the most difficult barriers to the development of human rights discourse: women's rights as human rights, labor rights as a unification of structure and agency, the interdepend-ence of migration

There are several issues across the world ranging from the tragic Syrian genocidal attacks on Christians to global climate change that is causing our major icebergs to melt. However, human trafficking happens on every scale possible in society: locally, nationally, and internationally. When people think of human trafficking, they often think of third world countries with weak enforcement policies, right? Thats not always the case since sex trade is heavily underestimated in first world countries like the United States. The city of Toledo,Ohio, for example, is rated fourth for youth sex trade in the United States according to the Toledo Blade.

Human trafficking is the second largest criminal industry. Men, women and children are exploited against their will with the use of violence. There are many different types of trafficking such as forced prostitution, forced labor, forced begging, forced criminality, domestic servitude, forced marriage and forced organ removal. Traffickers target vulnerable people that are struggling with basic human needs, people trying to escape ethnic discrimination or government corruption, it could be the reason why Mexico is one of the main locations where human trafficking happens. Some other factors traffickers consider are age, poverty, gender, unemployment, sexual abuse, mental health problems or sexual identity issues. There’s not an exact or accurate statistics because many trafficked people are never identified but according to the U.S state department between 600,00 and 820,00 men, women and children are trafficked and 50% are minors ("Human Trafficking." Global Issues in Context Online Collection).

“ If you think slavery ended in the United States in 1865 … Think again.” This is saying that slavery hasn’t really ended because human trafficking is still happening. As U.N crime fighting office stated, 2.4 million people across the world are victims of human trafficking at any one time, and 80 percent of them are being exploited as sexual slaves. Human trafficking continues and numbers are growing larger , 42 percent of the recruiters are Women. Recruiters seek any gender and any age so human trafficking victims are growing everyday. Human trafficking is and social injustice because it is incompatible to the principles of freedom and dignity. The abuse of human beings dehumanizes the individuals who are trafficked, and

In Johnson’s article he argues that the British had two reasons why black Africans were the perfect targets for slavery when they went to the new world. The first was the fact that the black Africans would be far from their home and that their color would stand out from white Americans and the Native Americans, so they could not easily hide among the Native Americans or the white Americans. Johnson argues that the British acquired slavery to minimize their labor costs so that they can maximize their profits. Johnson argues that the British have to convince black Africans that they are inferior due to the fact that they are colored otherwise they would revolt against them. Since the British are white they are automatically superior to black

When one hears the word sex trafficking, many people assume that it only refers to prostitutes sold in poor countries in the Middle East or Asia. This is far from true. Sex trafficking is the modern day slavery for children and women; it happens in America as well as other parts of the world. The leaders of this rink appeal to the children’s vulnerabilities or the women’s needs in order to brainwash them to trust the leader. He or she then has the victim trapped and begins to sell them or use them for profit. So why are Americans not aware of this heinous crime happening right in their very own neighborhoods? There is not one direct answer to this question, but rather many factors that play a role in America’s unconsciousness.

In 2007, the U.S. state Department reported, “600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders every year,” “1 million is the number of children exploited by the global commercial sex trade every year,” and “161 countries identified as affected by human trafficking” (Polaris Project, DoSomething.org).

“About 500,000 Africans were brought to the United States as slaves between 1609 and 1807.” Many of these slaves were sent to work in slave factories, which are a definition of a line of prisoners or slaves chained and driven along together. They worked in slave factories in West Africa, before sent off by the Portuguese for sale to countries like Brazil or Cuba The article Slave Factories gives a closer more in depth setting to how and what the slave factories actually were. Du Chaillu tells all about the ball that he attends as well as the slave factories that he encounters and has a chance to witness of Cape Lopez. Cape Lopez was one of the biggest and greatest slave depot that was on the coast.
