Unveiling the Atrocities of Human Trafficking

Human Trafficking & Sex Slavery

Human trafficking is the act of illegally transporting women, young girls and sometimes boys from one country to another for forced labour and sex exploitation. The process of human trafficking is recruit, harbor, obtain, exploit - often sold as object. Pimps, gangs, labor brokers, employers of domestic servants, small business owners, and large factory owners are just some of the “job” positions past convicted traffickers held. Though, not all of these jobs have been around since the 1400s, when human trafficking became prominent. Although human trafficking began in the 1400s , it was not well known until the early 1930s.

This makes older men feel justified to kidnap, rape and then sell women into these

Telling each other about how unfortunate it is that this happens and sending money indirectly to charities that promise your money will make a difference has played a very minimal part in whatever progress we have made in the past. Money is not the answer to all of the world’s crisis’, especially not this one. Instead of sending money we need to use our resources to locate the areas in which this problem is most intrusive and start sending help or setting up help hotlines near that area. My goal is to empower these women, children, to provide them with help, to give them a voice and a choice-and finally end slavery and exploitation once and for all. We can do this by educating young girls and boys on modern day slavery and trafficking and providing self-protective skills
