Kacey, a nine year old girl was playing outside in the dirt when her father told her they would be going on a long trip somewhere fun. Kacey, who did not know of the truth, grabbed her only doll and headed to the bus with her parents and five sisters. Her two older brothers had been told to stay home and care for their ill grandmother. What she did not know was what her future held for her and her sisters: a life of being tortured, held captive, and sold for sex. Rajendra and Sarah Gautman, founders of 3 Angels Nepal; a non-profit organization stated, “Nepal has got a less than 42% of literacy rate, which is really bad. What our school- 3 Angels Nepal has done is given more opportunities to those regarded as untouchable…education is what can …show more content…
India, a more developed country provides a better and safer environment for the girls. In India they are given many opportunities to live a better life. A girl's future in Nepal does not shine so bright. Mary Crawford and Michelle R. Kaufman, graduates from the university of Connecticut states, “ It is one of the world’s poorest countries, ranking 140 of 177 on the United Nations Human Development Index.” Human trafficking in Nepal is a major issue. Not only does it affect the country but it affects the world as a whole. Because the country has no money, very few people regard Nepal as a contributing factor in the global economy. Rajendra and Sarah Gautman, founders of 3 Angels Nepal stated, “The traffickers use various ways, various tricks to try and traffick someone...basically due to no education and a simple living…” The girls succumb to the traffickers. Lack of education greatly affects the well being of a society and what the future holds for them. Human trafficking affects everyone who contributes to the economy in any
Over 2 million children are sold into sex trafficking each year (Global). Sold gives the eye-opening narrative of just one of them. I followed Lakshmi through her journey as she learned about life outside her small hometown in Nepal. She loved her mother and baby brother and worked hard to keep up with her repulsive step-father’s gambling habit. When given the opportunity to take a job that could provide for her family, Lakshmi accepted the offer. Unknowingly, she walked into the hands of horrible people who led her blindly on the path of prostitution. Discovering her fate, Lakshmi latched onto hope when all seemed bleak. After months of endless abuse, some Americans gave her the opportunity to escape her situation, and, thankfully, she took
Within the first year of opening they had helped fifty-two girls see their greatness and help them strive for a better future.Mr. Don J. Brewster was the pastor for a catholic church in Sacramento,California. He went on his first trip to Cambodia in 2005, which was to see the missions his church has been supporting for years. Upon arrival to Svay Pak the only issue only seemed to be poverty, he played with the children, visited the pastors from the missions, and went back on his way home. The next day, after he arrived home, he turned on the news, and the headline story on NBC was “Children For ...
There are many aid projects across the world who claim to help millions of people, but because these aid projects claim to help millions of people, that does not always mean that is the case There are many different aid types, and there can be aid for almost anything an area needs help with. One aid project that not many people know about is called the Polaris Project. After being exposed to a story of six South Korean women being forced to work in a brothel, Katherine Chon and Derek Ellerman were inspired to do something about modern-day slavery (“Katherine Chon and Derek Ellerman: Fighting Human Trafficking" 3). Fast-forward 13 years and the Polaris Project is the world’s leading non-profit human trafficking aid organization in the country. The Polaris Project is the only aid organization to fight against all forms of human trafficking. Human trafficking occurs when a person is forced against his or her own will to engage in sexual acts. Human trafficking can happen to men, women and children; however, it mainly happens to women 18 years and older (“Sex Trafficking in the U.S.” 1). However, a deeper look needs to be taken into this organization to observe if Polaris Project is working effectively at what the organization claims to do.
Many think that slavery is dead, but is it really? Or is it something that just gets swept under the rug and simply goes unnoticed? When we think of slavery we think of the Civil Rights movement, we think back to The Underground Rail Road , or the “I Have a Dream Speech” by Martin Luther King, Jr. Many fail to realize that slavery still exist today as Human Trafficking. In the article “The Disturbing Reality of Human Trafficking and Children” by Allison Chawla , she focuses on how slavery still exist today and how it has dramatically increased over the years. Allison Chawla uses strong evidence of how slavery has not died but has increased due to the lack for awareness and the lack of law enforcement
Human rights are by definition rights that every human being has and can not and should not ever be taken away by any one no matter who that person is. Unfortanitly this is not true for every person in the world and even in the United States of America where it is the land of the free. Many women in the United States of America have a very important human rights taken away from them with out them having a choice. Many women in the United States of America are pulled into the sex trafficking underworld with out them having choice and them not wanting to be in such a world. The sex trafficking underworld dark cold world that should not exist but it does exist and is a real part of the United States of America. No body likes to talk about

When I was a child, the world that I used to live in is full of happiness and pureness. There is nothing to worry about as long as those who surround me are happy. A great happiness for me is when you open your eyes in the morning and the first thing you see is your family smiling at you. Unfortunately, as I grow older and as my mind opened up to learn more about this world the more the world become cruller for me. There are some people treated inhumanly just because they are poor, or because they are from undeveloped countries. What is the fault that they commuted to be treated in a harsh way? Is it because they want a high standard of living, and rise their income to support their families? This is certainly true in the case of what is happing with the labours in Qatar. Jim Murphy a labour’s shadow international development secretary recorded that migrant workers being lured to the Gulf state by the promise of good salaries, only to have their passports taken away from them and they cannot return to their homes (2014). There is a similar case of what is happening in Qatar but it is much worse. Those from poor regions are easily tricked by black hands companies to be used in inhuman ways, be forced labors and work in prostitution to increase economy (Human Trafficking Thesis Statement Examples, 2011). This research paper will discuss one form of human right issue in the GCC Countries, which is human trafficking, what is it, who are the victims, why it is happening and what solutions the government have taken to minimize this problem.
Human Sex Trafficking “People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used” (“27 Human Trafficking” 1). Occurring in every part of the world, human trafficking is a widespread, large problem. Many women and children are affected by human trafficking, causing their lives to be completely transformed.
Human trafficking is prevalent throughout the world, especially in Asia and more specifically in China but the government and non-governmental organizations (NGO) are taking measures to put an end to it. Human trafficking involves exploitation of human beings; either sexually or by coercing them to work in unfavourable conditions for little pay or nothing at all. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) defines human trafficking as “the acquisition of people by improper means such as force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them.” Women and children, especially girls between the ages of fourteen and twenty constitute the majority of victims of human trafficking. “China is a source, transit and destination country for human trafficking; the majority of which is internal trafficking” (www.humantrafficking.org).
1. ‘Tiny Hands International’ (THI) is a Christian organisation. THI started in 2004 with the aims of fighting poverty and solving social injustice. Initially, their aim was to help abandoned and/or orphaned children. However, THI has recently focussed on women, particularly mainly human trafficking victims in the sex industry. The Location of India/Nepal border was chosen to work on first, because of the extremely high numbers of girls illegally trafficked around this area. THI has stated they have chosen to focus on this area as South Asia (India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan) includes over half of the human traffickers throughout the world. As the THI group is a Christian Group, their Christian values have
Human trafficking involves women, children as well as men, but the human traffickers are rather known for kidnapping women. When the victims are being used as slaves for someone else’s personal use, they are also being physically and mentally abused by their overseer to rip apart their self esteem and confidence. These helpless victims are commonly kidnapped, taken by force and drugged and shipped off to another country to be taken advantage of as sex slaves. Brazil, Thailand, India and Ghana are the most well known countries that are famous for human trafficking mentioned by Kinika Bambra in 10 Countries that are Famous for Human Trafficking written last summer. 7,000 Nepali girls as young as nine years old are sold every year into India’s red-light district, human trafficking is a devastating effect that is happening everywhere.
It is the world’s fastest growing global crime. It is also the world’s second largest source of illegal income after drug trafficking. According to the United Nations Office on drugs and crime (2012),”Women account for 55-60 per cent of all trafficking victims detected globally; women and girls together account for about 75% and as many as 161 countries are affected by human trafficking.” It is also believed that the victims arguably come from the poorest countries in the world. One of the main causes of human trafficking is vulnerability. For example, children are more vulnerable to trafficking because of their lack of understanding and experience. Additionally, in certain societies, women are less empowered than men thus resulting in gender inequality both at home and in the workplace. Gender inequality then leads to easy exploitation through the use of force or
An article released by the BBC entitled “Horrors of India’s Brothels Documented” brought this shocking global issue to my attention. The article provides information about a young Indian girl who was only 11 when she was sold into sex slavery by her neighbor (who had persuaded her family to let her go with him to Mumbai); she was taken from her impoverished village in West Bangel. Brutally raped the first night she arrived in a brothel, Guddi is only one of 20,000 sex workers in that specific area [Kamathipura] (2013). The article elaborates on the history of sex slavery in India. It points out that laws have recently been put into place against human trafficking. However, the laws are not being strongly enforced due to the sheer number of the cases. Human trafficking is like a plague that is spread throughout the world, and India is one of the hardest hit places. This paper will elaborate on the reasons this condition exists in India, and explain the connections that India has with the rest of the world that stem from this issue.

At last, Springer found a constant, a common denominator from recruited children: extreme poverty. Nongovernmental and International Organizations Nongovernmental and international organizations know that Colombia ́s government can ́t deal with the human trafficking, so several organizations take real action to protect the victims. For instance, Children of the Andes, which is a charitable organization that provides support to child victims of sexual exploitation and they also promote long-term development through education, health, protection, and peace-building initiatives, according to the Children of the Andes, “What we Do”. Another one would be Fundación Esperanza (Hope Foundation) that aims to reduce the numbers of women and children trafficked out of Colombia and assists victims of sexual exploitation, all of these according to its main web page: www.fundacionesperanza.org.
