Sex Trafficking Is Modern Day Slavery

Human Trafficking is defined as the illegal movement of people, typically for the purposes of forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation. According to the Human Trafficking Resource Center, over 6,000 calls have been received just this year about human trafficking cases. Not only are cases being reported on a global scale, but it’s happening to both genders and many nationalities. It’s a form of modern day slavery, having components of forced labor, and forced sexual acts. Mentioned in the study of the International Study Program in Humanities was a former trafficker Jacob and he stated how “these girls have mainly been brought by the traffickers for money”, but all these girls are getting raped and abused. Human trafficking is one of

Sex trafficking is a problem that is happening and occurring all over the world. Many families and individuals suffer due to sex trafficking. Many people are not even aware of what it really is. Sex trafficking is when young girls, as young as five or six, get kidnapped and are used for the sexual pleasure of others with a profit, or are sold as sex slaves to other people. The official definition is, “Human sex trafficking is a form of slavery and involuntary servitude resulting in grave human rights violations. Sex trafficking involves individuals profiting from the sexual exploitation of others and has severe physical and psychological consequences for its victims.” (The

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. Slavery ended and racism has declined but today there still exists a different type of slavery and this is known as human trafficking. Many call sex or human trafficking the modern day type of slavery because people are forced to work for another person mostly by selling their body. According to the United Nations and their protocol signed by more then 80 countries sex/ human trafficking is the “recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use

Human trafficking is the action or practice of illegally transporting people from one country or area to another, typically for the purposes of forced labour or commercial sexual exploitation. Human trafficking not only is a form of slavery but goes on all throughout the world, mainly in other countries. In today’s era Egypt highly has experienced this form of slavery. “Egypt is a source, transit, and destination country for women and children who are subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. Some of Egypt’s estimated 200,000 to one million street children—both boys and girls—are subjected to sex trafficking and forced begging; informal criminal groups are sometimes involved in this exploitation”(Egypt). Egypt has a high rate of modern day slavery today, every year more of their women and children are forced into slavery and subjected to an unfree life. Not only is this happening in Egypt but this is happening throughout a lot of foreign countries, women and children get sold as one’s property everyday as they slowly begin to lose their sense of direction and self love. Slavery has never completely disappeared from human societies, it is now seen in other forms. During the Ancient Era slavery was publicized, slavery was something that was allowed and or condoned but today slavery is hidden. Human Trafficking and other forms of slavery are kept under the table because it is not condoned anymore however people still do it. Slavery will never completely disappear through time because people will always find a way to control one another by forcing them into labor and harsh conditions that they are not okay

Human trafficking has been in existence in several states for many years. It is a form of slavery where people can be transported from one place to another for exploitation in farms, being forced into criminal activities such as terrorism, forced marriages, sexual abuse, prostitution among other forms of illicit activities (Butler, 2015). The trafficked individuals are often oppressed through violence, threats or coercion which forces the individuals to be involved in various things which they could not be willing to conduct. Majorly, members of the African continent have been widely bound to human trafficking. However, the ordeal has expanded even to trafficking within members of the same state.

Heather Smith, author of the article Sex Trafficking: Trends, Challenges, and the Limitations of International Law, records that human beings are illegally transported from various frontiers. She

Human and Sex trafficking in the United States is the newest form of slavery. Traffickers use this form of slavery to help with the illegal act of smuggling drugs and selling people to gain money for sexually acts. Sex trafficking has easily been compared to slavery. People are kidnapped from their homes, schools, and work to become a slave to pleasure people. They are forced to work many jobs as they are to be sold to businesses or owners to work for little to no money. Unlike slavery in the 1600’s, race does not matter. The only thing most would care about is the age or sex of a human. This is never a choice among people to sell themselves unless they do not have a “pimp”, this is force. There are many types of sex trafficking which is very

Like Labor Trafficking, Sex trafficking is another form of modern slavery, that exists in the United States, and beyond. Sex traffickers use violence, threats, lies, debt bondage, and other forms of coercion to compel adults and children to engage in commercial sex acts against their will. Under U.S. federal law, any minor under the age of 18 years induced into commercial sex is a victim of Sex Trafficking. (Polaris/Sex Traficking.Web.) S.ex trafficking, regardless of whether or not the trafficker used force, fraud, or coercion.

Human trafficking takes two forms, sex trafficking and labor trafficking. Not one is worse than the other, and sometimes victims may be forced into both. While the two

Sex trafficking is horrible and demeaning to woman that are taken advantage of when they are trying to better themselves. Our country can provide the victims the help they need when they ask for it and traffickers should carry heavier sentences, they should be made to pay for the rehab of their victims and have pay the victims restitution for the rest of the traffickers and/or the victims lives.

Human trafficking has been around for many years, from Greeks to the Roman to medieval times, and even until to today. It is a worldwide issue. People have been exposed to many forms of oppression. The Richmond Justice Initiative told the Holly Austin Smith story. “When Holly Austin Smith was Fourteen years old, she ran away from home with a man. Holly often suffered from depression, but still had dreams of being a singer. Holly exchanged numbers with a man. Then, the man had called her. He asked her questions like, what were her dream? He also got to know her. What she thought was freedom turned into out to be an inexorable clutches of sex trafficking” (“Survival Story”). Trafficking is a dangerous act that can get young people

Sex traffickers use violence, threats, lies, debt bondage, and other forms of coercion to compel adults and children to engage in commercial sex acts against their will. Under U.S. federal law, any minor under the age of eighteen years induced into commercial sex is a victim of sex trafficking—regardless of whether or not the trafficker used force, fraud, or coercion (polarisproject). That being said many of these women and children are either threaten or given a false promise or a good job, some fall in love with the person forcing them to prostitute themselves or some of these women and children are sold by their families to pay off debt. Sex trafficking is global issue but to attack the problem we need to start within our borders and try to minimize the situation at home. Human trafficking is widely known and practice, but we fail to protect the victims. Our failure to stop this allows the traffickers to continue abusing their victims, which sadly ae the most vulnerable out there, children and

Human trafficking has been a major issue that has affected countries all around the world. It is the action of illegally transporting people from one area to another for reasons such as forced labour, sexual exploitation or organ donors. Human trafficking is a matter difficult to tackle and has been addressed in many different ways but there is no one solution. Human trafficking happens a lot in Algeria, because sub-Saharan africans enter Algeria illegally, with the help of smugglers to get to Europe. Victims are then forced to pay off their debts with forced labour, or to join prostitution chains.

Madagascar is a source country, where women and children are manipulated into forced labor and sex trafficking. A source country is a country where the victims are found and sold, kidnapped and trafficked into other countries or other cities within that country. Since Madagascar's government is a TIER 3, those in power do not comply with the minimum standards of living. (Bruckett, 2002) Furthermore, there seem to be no significant efforts to do so nor do their government do little (if any) to protect its women and children from being trafficked. Which, in turns violates basic human rights. Most source countries are experiencing an economic crisis and, consequently, families are selling their women and children in order to survive.

Human Trafficking has become the modern day slavery; endangering millions if innocent humans. What is human trafficking? Well human trafficking or sex trafficking is when someone is illegally moving people from one country to another; it’s typically known for forced labor or forced sexual exploitation. Many victims are tricked into thinking that they are getting a better job offer, better living environment or even tricked into thinking they will be moved safely to a better country. This illegal industry is making a fortune, over $32 billion yearly, and is spreading all over the world. Now many people aren’t aware of the major threat and that is because people aren’t aware of what’s going on. For example, many of the students in my English class were unaware of what human trafficking was. During the class we had the opportunity to read Sold written by Patricia McCormick, and it opened up all of our eyes. It gave us the perspective of what the slaves had to deal with. With the book and the recent movies, like Taken, have opened up the eyes of society and see how dangerous and common human trafficking is.
