Summary Of Canada's Underground World Of Human Trafficking

Film adaptations are supposed to capture the essence of a book they are based on; however this is not the case with Real Women Have Curves. The play, written by Josefina Lopez emphasizes the collective struggle and how women are there to support each other. The film adaptation, only co-written by Josefina Lopez displays an individualistic and almost selfish point of view, while emphasizing the individual struggle. The play and the movie are quite distinct, not only do they communicate different messages, but the characters' shift in personality, therefore drastically changing the entire storyline.

The need to control the outcome of one’s life and surrounding environment is a human trait that occurs for a variety of reasons and situations in life, ranging from trivial to extremely serious. For Hester Prynne and Tarwater, their life situations fall on the very serious side of the spectrum. Hester, after being released from the physical prison of her town, must face the judgments of her fellow townspeople and the consequences of her sin in regards to her status in the town. Following Tarwater’s escape from his prison, Old Man Tarwater’s house, Tarwater finally confronts the harsh 5truth about his fate as a prophet and his family. In both cases, there is uncertainty regarding the outcomes of their lives. In The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and The Violent Bear It Away, by Flannery O’Connor, in an attempt to assert control over the long-term outcomes, both Hester and Tarwater leave their prisons with an outward exhibition of confidence and a need to control their environment, despite their internal fears, in an effort to influence the surrounding people, and their opinions; however, these displays of tenacity produce differing results for the two characters, as Hester’s plan is successful and Tarwater’s plan is not.

Over the last several years, the issue of human trafficking has been compared with the slave trade. This is because both are focused on taking someone against their will and forcing them to engage in demeaning activities. Yet, the practices of modern traffickers are different from slave traders. To fully understand the similarities and disparities requires contrasting them with one another. The combination of these factors will provide specific insights about the two. (Bales, 2010)

This NGO report conducted by Hope For Justice investigates the UK and global markets for the exploitation of human beings, outlines the methods of exploitation and informs us of the ways in which Hope For Justice, a non-Government organisation, is contesting and fighting against the issue at hand. Sex trafficking is a sensitive and complex issue which consists of 3 primary elements: what criminals do (act), how criminals do it (means), and why criminals do it (purpose). By understanding these three elements, one is able to delve into the mind of a criminal.

Other researchers found that Immigrants are smuggled into Canada hoping to pursue a better life, only to realize upon arrival that they are being subjected to forced labor. Immigrants legal documentation is confiscated by the traffickers upon arrival in Canada where they are then threatened, abused, and manipulated (Martinez,Martinez,& Hanley, 2001, p.17).Victims are misled to believe that they coming to Canada to participate in legitimately work as nannies, household caretakers, and waitresses but are instead sold as sex-slaves working in undercover brothels and massage parlors (Mohajerin,2006, p.125). The majority of victims to human trafficking are young women but also consists of children and men. Children are often trafficked for illegal adoption and forced to work as sex slaves. The trafficking of men also occurs, although not as commonly, in which situations men are forced to work in factories under poor conditions (Martinez,Martinez,& Hanley, 2001, p.17) . Human trafficking is a global multi-billion dollar industry that is becoming more common in countries all over the world.

Human trafficking violates the Criminal Code of Canada in four main sections, sections 279.01 (Trafficking in persons), 279.011 (Trafficking of a person under the age of eighteen years), 279.02 (Material benefit), and 279.03 (Withholding or destroying documents). Many other Criminal Code offences can also apply to human trafficking cases including kidnapping, forcible confinement, uttering threats, extortion, assault, sexual assault, prostitution-related offences, and criminal organization offences. The Criminal Code also states that “a person exploits another person if they: cause someone to provide, or offer to provide, labour or a service by engaging in conduct that, in all the circumstances, could reasonably be expected to

We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution The 4th of November 2014 is a day that will be remembered as the most notorious day in the history of the Canadian Justice System. On November 4th 2014, the most controversial prostitution bill “Protection of Community and Endangered Persons Act”, also known as C-36 was passed in the Supreme Court of Canada. According to this law, the ‘sale of sex’ has to be regarded as a legal act. However, the law did not include several other aspects of the prostitution trade. The sale of sexual services between the prostitutes and pimps is still to be categorized as an illegal act. The new law passed by Canada’s legislation is inspired by the “Nordic Model” of prostitution that was initially adopted in 1999 by Sweden. The Nordic Model of Prostitution states that prostitution is not prohibited, but paying for sex is. This model aspires to remove the deep-rooted problem of prostitution from the system, without actually subjecting and targeting the prostitutes, who are themselves often the victims of sex-trafficking. This Paper will argue that despite the fact that C-36 was a smart move taken by the government of Canada in response to SCC’s Criticism, this law might not be the most appropriate approach towards eliminating sex trade off the streets.

There are endless reasons that human trafficking exists in modern times. These reasons are not black and white, and have a multitude of contributing factors, cause and effect, and influences. The causation of the modern slave trade is outlined in chapters three, four, and five of the text: Human Trafficking: Interdisciplinary Perspectives, written by Mary C. Burke. Chapter three, titled, “Sociological Perspective: Underlying Causes” relates sociology to the concept of human trafficking to better understand the culture behind the slave trade, including political and economic characteristics. A factor contributing to the existence of human trafficking is globalization and the development of national economies. While globalization can be

Human Trafficking has been a problematic issue across many countries and currently remains as a very present issue. Human trafficking is defined as the recruitment and movement of people, most often through the use of deception, threat, coercion, or the abuse of vulnerability, for the purposes of exploitation (Domoney, 2015). I will argue that from a utilitarianism perspective, human trafficking is unethical since it doesn’t act for the greater good of everyone. Human trafficking only leads to negative consequences, killing and terrorizing hundredths of lives each day. The results of human trafficking are substantial, harming victims emotionally and physically. On the same note, I will argue that from the deontologist

Sex trafficking is essentially systemic rape for profit. Force, fraud and coercion are used to control the victim’s behavior which may secure the appearance of consent to please the buyer (or john). Behind every transaction is violence or the threat of violence (Axtell par. 4). Just a decade ago, only a third of the countries studied by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime had legislation against human trafficking. (Darker Side, par.1) Women, children, and even men are taken from their homes, and off of the streets and are brought into a life that is almost impossible to get out of. This life is not one of choice, it is in most times by force. UNODC estimates that the total international human trafficking is a

This letter is solely based off the purpose of allowing you to have a better perspective of how we, as citizens view your successes, as well as your shortcomings in terms of upholding, and enforcing the UDHR. Luckily, you’ve become prime minister of one of the greatest countries in the worlds in terms of human rights, and according to the Human Development Index. Our country is among the best in terms of enforcing the 30 articles of the UDHR, but that doesn't mean there’s not room for improvement. Canada is currently ranked eighth on the Human Development Index, only behind; United States, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Australia, Norway. Taking into consideration the population of most of the countries previously listed

The treatment of the Indigenous population in Canada has been a very controversial topic since Confederation. Government after government, both federally and provincially, has been faced with the question of how to deal with this group. There are many complexities within this topic, and despite it being prevalent for the couple centuries, there still seems to be no solution in sight. After Confederation, the Canadian government’s idea was to sign treaties with Indigenous groups, leading to the Numbered Treaties. Between 1871 and 1921 eleven treaties were signed, governing relations between the Canadian government and the Indigenous population (Hall, 2011, para. 60). During that period, in 1876, the federal government passed the Indian Act,

Moral decadence At the beginning of The Tragedy of Macbeth, William Shakespeare describes Macbeth as a brave and recognized hero, but when we actually meet him, we can analyze the way he thinks. The soliloquys and asides are the key to understand this character since he thinks at loud we are able to determine what he really seeks. We realize that his perception of things changes quickly, and he is easily manipulated. The witches introduce Macbeth to his fate, he does not need to become king but when he hears that he is capable of achieving this rank, something in his mind woke up and he begins a new face in his life.

Images of foreign lands usually conjure up when the thoughts of human sex trafficking come to one 's mind. The United States of America is not immune to this type of horrific behavior. America is the land of the free and yet something as awful as human sex trafficking occurs in our very own backyard each and everyday. According to the Department of Homeland Security the definition of human trafficking is “modern day slavery that involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act” (“What Is Human Trafficking?”). In this research paper the reader will experience the savagery that comes with human sex trafficking and how it has expanded in the United States over recent years. Within this research

Human trafficking has received increasing global attention over the past decade. Trafficking of women and girls for forced sex work and, to a lesser extent, domestic servitude, were the sole focus of advocacy and assistance. There is recognition in today’s society that women, children, and men are trafficked into many different forms of labour, and for sexual exploitation. In her article, “Understanding and Addressing Violence Against Women”, Cathy Zimmerman and Heidi Stockl focus on the commonality of human trafficking and how evident it is in everyday life. They bring in the health effects and possible solutions to human trafficking to help validate their opinion and argument. In the solutions they offer, Zimmerman and Stockl shine a light on policy-makers/decision-makers, health-care providers, and researchers/funders and what each of these groups of people can do to help combat the issue of human trafficking. In a quote from their article, Stockl and Zimmerman say: “Health care providers and organizations involved with trafficked persons should increase their capacity to identify and refer people in trafficking situations and provide sensitive and safe services to people post-trafficking”. This quote shows how Zimmerman and Stockl believe human trafficking should be combated by caring and talking to those affected by the issue but how they also believe awareness should be made about human trafficking so as to allow people surrounding the issue to identify and help victims of this issue. Zimmerman and Stockl’s view on the ways human trafficking should be combatted relate to those of Soroptimist due to the fact that the two groups of people are focused mainly on helping women and girls who have been trafficked and trying to get them to a better life after getting out of the trafficking situation. Both groups focus on helping men as well, providing options to help them such as raising money and awareness, and getting educated on being able to identify victims of human trafficking.
