The War on Human Trafficking Leah A. Rampersaud La Guardia Community College Professor Bojana Blagojevic December 3rd ,2014 Introduction: Today in our society human trafficking is a definitely a growing crime that more than often goes unrecognized. Men, women and children are being stolen and traded for sex everyday against their will. Mistakenly people tend to think that human trafficking is a third world issue but it’s not, it’s bigger than that it’s a worldwide phenomenon
The nature of human trafficking consists of men, women, and children being bought and sold for purposes of forced labor and sexual exploitation. Human trafficking is synonymous with slavery and deprives the victim of basic human rights. It is a process that begins with an individual seeking an opportunity to improve their life through work or immigration, and ends with the person being exploited and enslaved. The United Nations International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates that over 20.9 million
traffick individuals is a severe offense. This crime violates the rights of humans. Often men, women and children plunge into the hands of traffickers. Human trafficking is a norm for all countries around the world. The United States is also on the map for human trafficking. Human traffickers serve a diverse category which includes ethnic, racial and social groups. We know that perpetrators are not just men and women. Trafficking young children are on the rise. Trafficker’s objective is to lure children
Human trafficking forces millions against their will to beg, prostitute, or work in sweatshops for the profit of others. It is a crime against humanity that affects almost every country.

Victims of sex trafficking are often times forced into this horrendous job by the trafficker. Other times, as disturbing as it may seem, family members sell their relative into sex trafficking for money, usually due to poverty in their town (Polaris). Trafficking is a tremendous problem that is often overlooked
in many countries around the world which is quite an distressing and foreign concept to me. I also learned that human trafficking is disturbingly prevalent in the United States and the need for more attention needs to be brought to this crime. And finally, I learned that prostitution is not a victimless crime. Many women are forced into prostitution. These three pieces of information will unfortunately carry on with me the rest of my life. In all areas of the world, ladies and young ladies are
where today’s world no longer exists due to an unknown catastrophe. The only human is a man who calls himself the Abominable Snowman or Snowman for short, but in his childhood days his name was Jimmy. If the thought of being all alone in the world is not uneasy enough, Atwood takes this opportunity to point out the flaws of the modern world through Snowman’s reminiscing about Jimmy’s childhood. The truths exposed are events that people do not want to acknowledge: animal abuse for human advancement
Human trafficking is criminal activity in which humans such as men, women, and children are consider as possessions for involuntary labor or prostitution. Although human trafficking is thought of being a problem only in other countries, it is also a growing problem in the United States, and should be stopped for multiple reasons.

Human trafficking is now the modern-day slavery, where the victims involved are forced, intimidated and mislead into labor and sexual exploitation. Most human trafficking victims are lured into the trade by untrue possibilities made about job opportunities a good life that 's better than the one they live.
