Japan is a Tier 2 Watch List Country, It has earned this designation because it does not fully adhere to the minimum standards for the elimination of human trafficking. For example, Japan did not prosecute or convict forced labor perpetrators. Furthermore, Japan did not provide or develop protection and assistance programs for trafficking victims. Moreover, Japans serves as a source, transit and destination country, for men women and children. Men and women are often used for forced labor, while children are primarily used for sex trafficking. Japans TIP rating has not changed since 2009, Japan has remained a Tier 2 Watch List Country because it did not enact legislation that would help with the prosecution of human traffickers. Also, Japan’s definition of what constitutes human trafficking falls short of the definition given by international law. However, Japan did increase the number of prosecutions and the number of victims identified during the reporting period. Additionally, Japan has made fair efforts to increase its anti-trafficking laws. However, Japan still fails to recognize and forbid all forms of human trafficking. Japan convicted 27 traffickers, which was a substantial …show more content…
Also, Japan still fails to recognize and forbid all forms of human trafficking. However, it has made some efforts to fight human trafficking and even has a few laws on the book regarding it. Japan has also made small efforts to raise human trafficking awareness within the country. Even with these small improvements, there is still much work left to be done in Japan’s fight against human trafficking. As a result, several recommendations have been made like: Japan needs to better investigate, prosecute and punish traffickers. Overall, Japan must keep improving its efforts to end human
Human trafficking exists in several nations all around us. No nation, including the United States is exempt from human trafficking. There may be factors that create unique anti-trafficking issues and obstacles for each nation, but the characteristics are all the same or very similar worldwide. These characteristics are how the trafficking is conducted, how the victims are kidnapped, the percentage of victims, the gender of the victims, and the percentage of each gender in different trafficking situations. The situations include children, adults, male, and female victims. The situations the victims fall into are pornography, forced labor, sex slaves, prostitution, child sex tourism, and many more. These are the issues and key points made by the authors to persuade the reader to agree with their position.
Up to 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked annually, of which about 80 percent are women and up to half are children. Human traffickers take people against their own will in order to make some money for themselves, and they have no compassion towards their victims. Several solutions have been brought up, but most will not fix the problem. Some people state that we just need to add to law enforcement efforts and put harsher punishments into effect, just like Koh Tsin Yen did in her 2016 article “Point: Human trafficking is a domestic and transnational crime. Governments should strengthen their law enforcement efforts to combat it” that was published on InfOhio’s Point of View Reference Center. On the other side of this argument, opponents
Human trafficking is a dangerous, demeaning trade. It is highly visible to the public. However, people turn a blind eye, despite all of its repercussions. Saving the victims, and punishing the traffickers, pimps, and johns takes time and can be a complicated process, but it is immensely worthwhile. Prevention through education is a key component in order to put a stop to human trafficking once and for all. The many laws and organizations are also essential in protecting victims and bringing justice. Human trafficking can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. However, right now, right here, it needs to be
A country analysis project must be analyzed in the context of its political, legal, economic, social, and cultural environments-the investment climate of the target country. Although sensitivity to particular factors varies from one project to another, all analyses are subject to the influence of some set of specific factors. Therefore a firm should raise three questions about a country's investment climate: (1) How the investment climate will be critical to the success of the project? (2) What is the present value of these critical issues? (3) How are these issues likely to change over the investment planning period? In making domestic investment decisions, firms should pay much attention to the relative
Of all the other area that involve trafficking, sex trafficking is the most common form. Males are subject to being exploited for sex trafficking, but females are not sought after. The use of women and even children for prostitution is more widespread than forced labor. These women or children are sent to countries in Southeast Asia, United States, and Europe. A major country that has high levels of sexual trafficking personnel is Japan. These countries use women for their sex entertainment industry. In many of the countries, the women are taken from, their lives and well-being simple is not valued. They are considered to have little value compared to males and this makes it easier for organized criminal groups to extort them. Women can also
Girls are abused and beaten regularly, and the government condones these actions as if they are not occurring. Currently, however, more and more respected organizations are helping with the fight against human trafficking, although the problem still heavily influences the country.
In Japan during 1932 they did a lot of human trafficking and where women in Asia was forced into it. Women were housed in
The short story "in another country" is about patriotism, a term which rudimentarily means: deep love to one's own country. It is, however, just a part of a greater concept, love, which manifests itself, throughout the story, in different forms; love to a friend, love to a spouse and even to one's own country.
In conclusion, I completely agree with the third article and some how with the second article as well. Human trafficking have a global threat these days. Every body knows that it is a great social problem and should be abolished from the world. But no one is taking any effective steps to stop such global problem. We cannot expect anything from the government because all the political parties are busy on corruption. Its a very shameful things that instead of government, we local people are working hard to fight against human trafficking. If our political parties were active to support us than I am sure that human trafficking would vanish from this world. As a responsible citizen of a country, we all should be involved in conduting awareness
In the novel “In Country” by Bobbie Ann Mason, we find the story of a young girl who struggles in life to find out about her father and the history of the Vietnam War. Throughout the book, the reader finds out that this girl, Sam Hughes, is not your every day teenager. She is faced with the responsibility of dealing with her unmotivated uncle and a boyfriend she really doesn’t care for anymore. She’s confronted with the fact that she really knows nothing about her father and the War he took part in. All of the people she knows who were involved in Vietnam have been touched somehow by the war. What are some of the things she learns from these people? What does she find out about herself and about the father she has
Japan is a Tier 2 source, transit, and destination country for forced labor, sexual exploitation, and forced marriages. Men, women, and children are all susceptible to trafficking. The government actively participates in the exploitation of its people, especially through the program of TITP, or the Technical Intern Training Program. The proliferation of the sexual trafficking of women and children is driven by sex tourism. Runaway girls are among the victims of this horrific trade. Japan does not meet the minimum standard of the 2000 UN TIP Protocol and is the only G-8 member who did not accede to neither its standards nor the 2000 Transnational Organized Crime Convention. There are no convictions for perpetrators of forced labor and no laws enacted to prosecute traffickers. Japan’s laws are not collusive with international definitions of trafficking.
Human trafficking is violating these earlier mentioned rights. There are an estimate of 2.5 million victims, which can be any age or gender. Mostly women are impacted by trafficking, as 79 percent is sexual exploitation. Human trafficking is a global business generating huge amounts of profit. A ten dollar billion profit for criminals per year has been calculated by looking at the documented statistics (UNODC, 2014). In Indonesia labour recruits (known as PJTKIs) operate legally and illegally. They charge high recruitment fees, which makes migrants vulnerable to debt bondage and binds them to the PJTKI. The recruitment brokers are reported to use connections to corrupted government officials and police and escape jail sentences (Humantrafficking.org, 2006). The US department of State Trafficking in Persons Report (2011) found that 471 Indonesian migrants returned home pregnant, due to rape in the Middle East. Additionally 161 women returned with children born. Indonesia is not just a victim of human trafficking; the same report found that Indonesia exploited victims from Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Women and girls are most vulnerable to human traffic, because of their subordinate position in Indonesia (UNFPA, n.d.). Human trafficking on women happens because of many reasons around the world; this practice infringes upon many different legislations and human rights.
The cultural aspects of a country reflect many qualities of the society that it adheres to. History plays a big part when examining the state that the country is in and also explains why they got to where they are in the global spectrum. After world war ii, with the creation of the united nations many countries around the world agreed to a standard of basic human rights that every citizen around the world should adhere to. In essence, this is the ideal situations where a coalition of states works together to protect its citizens in a world like a community. In practice, that is a completely different case. Because every country around the world has a very different story in regards to their inceptions, many states fail to comply with the standards due to an assortment of reasons. These reasons may vary from, their religion allows it, their culture dictates it or they simply do not really care. Because the declaration of human rights is simply standards, it means that they are not law, so they are not legally binding. You can indeed prosecute individuals for crimes against humanity, but many of the basic human rights violations which do not include murder, are a little harder to prosecute. Discrimination, though illegal in most states and outlined in the declaration of human rights tend to be hard to uphold responsibility. Many countries around the world have laws that prohibit many forms of discriminations against many groups, from ethnic groups to gender. A very hot topic
Human trafficking, or the selling and buying of people, is a well-hidden yet prominent issue within today’s society. It is both an immoral and horrific topic that needs brought to attention and dealt with. When human beings are manipulated into work, sexual servitude, or economic hardship, human trafficking is occurring. In the year of 2006, only one individual is convicted of human trafficking per 800 victims (UNGIFT). By looking at straight statistics, reasons human trafficking happens, and the toll it has on people, it is very clear that this is a major issue that is happening in our world.
Have you ever wondered why our country is ranked low in comparison to other countries when it comes to education? Our country is said to be the best country in the world; yet when one takes a closer look on our system, defects are bound to be found. Take a look at our education for instance. We have the least productive schools in the nation. The truth is that the board of education has dumbed down the system due to a decrease in testing averages.
