Recommended: How human trafficking can be prevented

Human Trafficking is a worldwide problem. Every country is affected by human trafficking; some countries are where the humans are taken from while other countries are where the humans are taken to for forced labor or sex. This problem is not a quick fix and no one has a full proof solution to human trafficking but many countries have parts of solutions to the problem. People are being held against their will and are forced to have sex with others to earn a profit for others. I believe this is not only morally wrong but it is also one of the worst crimes someone can commit. After watching the movie in which it was a very powerful and moving film. I could not imagine what those women went through or how they felt.

As well a form of violence understood by the actors involved. We also discuss how patterns of violence that exist in our society the product of the social forces rooted in how our society is organized? In the case of the movie Human Trafficking a crime is being committed the question is which crime. Therefore, just as I learned in class I use the six points of elaboration on the violence definition by Iadicola and Shupe to help discover which one crime is being committed. In doing so I came up with interpersonal violence and structural criminology is being committed in the movie Human Trafficking. Interpersonal violence is the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against another person or against a group or community that results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation. In which I observed taking place in human trafficking with many young women have vanished from their everyday lives-forced by violence into a hellish existence of brutality and prostitution. They were force to be a profitable commodity in the multi-billion-dollar industry of modern slavery.

Some of the most coming areas, are Russia, Eastern Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, and Colombia, theses place are goldmines for trafficking. Human trafficking is usually controlled by large criminal organizations, criminals exploit lack of opportunities, promise good jobs or opportunities for study, and then force the victims to become prostitutes, so basically these people approach the unstable situation of the persons and try to convince them with false hopes this is one of the principal causes of human trafficking because someone convinces another person’s to do anything with the promise of money or a better life. Therefore, a one way I think countries could help fix the major concern of human trafficking is to try to increase the work and the education on people that lives in poor zones because there are the principal victims also make some campaigns to prevent the people and try to apply the laws to these criminals’ organizations around the world. I believe if you educated the people on human trafficking in the areas from the people are taking from you can reduce the number of people that are taking into under places to be force to be a sex slave. However, not only should they be educated on human trafficking they should be also educated school wise as well so that will able to distinguish a scheme from a real opportunity. Also if you provide good jobs with reasonable pay people want be so gullible and easily persuade into

    “Human trafficking coerces and persuades their victims to cross national borders in search of new jobs and better opportunities and after that they are forced into some sort of labor bondage” (At Issue: Human Trafficking 1). Even though trafficking is a problem in almost every country; poorer countries have a bigger problem with it because they are more desperate for work. Just in 2000, the U.S. enacted their first federal anti-trafficking law, called the Victims of Trafficking Protection Act (At Issue: Human Trafficking 1). Trafficking has just begun to receive notice on how big of a problem it actually is. “Proponents of strict anti-trafficking initiatives say that laws and prevention against trafficking are necessary in order to stem the growing tide of large scale organized crime that profits off of smuggling and trafficking” (At Issue: Human Trafficking 1).

    If communities work towards this goal, they can brand trafficking as bad and they can work to end it together. Some governments still don’t have any laws that ban this evil and it is not good for people who suffer from it as it runs rampant in those countries. The places that need the government's help with this the most, have governments that are failing to protect them. The UN Chronicle says that the only way to end sexual trafficking and give these victims the closure they deserve is the “prosecution of traffickers and protection of victims”(UN Chronicles).

    Country to country, person-to-person, human trafficking is becoming a bigger and bigger issue all across the globe, including right here in the United States. Human trafficking is said to be a form of modern-day slavery, subjecting its victims to commercial sex, debt bondage, and forced labor through force, fraud, or coercion. There are often no easily identifiable victims as they come in all ages, genders, and races. There are said to be at least 2.4 million victims of human trafficking across the globe at any given time, leading to profits of $32 billion for the criminal masterminds behind such trafficking operations, making it the second most lucrative criminal industry behind narcotics. Despite the abundance of victims, it is estimated that fewer than 30% of all countries report at least 10 trafficking convictions a year, and 20% of countries do not even have an offense for trafficking. An additional 20% of countries have an offense for trafficking but still report no convictions of the offense. Without an organized coalition to help prevent such atrocities, it is left up to national governments to come up with solutions for their respective nations, and many governments do not possess the know-how or effort needed to combat these crimes.

    Physical violence is used by traffickers to control their victims. Commonly victims end up with broken bones, concussions, burns, and even possibly brain injuries. These victims often feel as if what has happened to them is their fault. The National Institute of Health states, “Human traffickers can use drugs as “bait” to recruit people who have a substance use disorder. Or they can use drugs to force a victim to obey their orders, or work harder or for longer hours.” (Human Trafficking). These traffickers using drugs to get these victims to do things opens up a whole new realm of possibilities.

These traffickers have a greater effect on these victims lives than they will ever

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.

People sometimes put their selves in the situation to get taking, because they are desperately trying to leave their current situation. Even though slavery was banned world wide it still occurs today and millions of people are victims each year. Mam said “people think slavery ended years ago” (as citied in Kiener, 2012, p.475). Human trafficking is thriving and making money almost thirty-two billion dollars a year in profits. Shelley argued growing dramatically since the mid- 1900s, thanks to factors like the ending of the Cold War, disappearing boarders, globalization, economies and growth of international crime syndicates (as citied in Kiener, 2012, p.477). Profits are soaring because prices are so little. The need of slave labor is high and inexpensive. Since there are so many slaves the traffickers do not have to spend money or take care of the slave.

    942 Words  | 2 Pages

    Human Trafficking is trading human beings for sex, labor, or any other force trade. It is known as modern day slavery. Many people in the United States believe that slavery was abolished long ago, but the truth is slavery exist more now than it ever has before. People are being trafficked all around us. Victims of human trafficking range in age, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Typically victims share one thing in common, they become isolated from either their country of origin or their families in hope of a better life. Nearly 100,000 children in the United States are currently exploited through commercial sex trade. Over 27 million people worldwide are trapped in human trafficking. Many people are negligent of the fact that millions of people are currently living enslaved in the sex industry. The statistic remains that there is a battle going on worldwide. Ending any form of human slavery will never happen, but becoming aware of the problem and creating ways to stop the numbers from rising or even getting the numbers to decrease should be important. People are not property and no one human being should own another human being. Battles are fought all over the world for people who are oppressed, why is there not a bigger battle for the millions of people being bought and sold right now? It is injustice.

Even though many citizens of the United States see slavery in their mind as something in some far off country and brush the notion aside, t...
