Recommended: Social effects of human trafficking

VIDEO ONE: Both sex and labor trafficking (S&L) The video depicts Hispanic workers in service jobs. A man washes dishes, a woman is forced into maid work, and women and men work in a field. The PSA highlights that men and women are equally subject to human trafficking that goes beyond sex slavery. A voice over is used throughout with flashes of text and images that describes the inhuman treatment that modern slaves are forced to endure.

VIDEO TWO: Labor trafficking video (LT) This PSA combines people of different ethnicities, cultures, and age groups. The story starts hopefully as three people travel to a better life offering better prospects. A father waves to his young as his thoughts of, “he will learn a trade and I will see him soon” …show more content…

The young boy is taken to work in a field and beaten when he does not perform to his master’s expectations. The Asian man is underground forced to work in a dirty mine with unsafe working conditions. The woman becomes a maid and is severely punished for dropping the silver. A narrator tells the three people’s stories of how they were tricked into slavery.

VIDEO THREE: Sex trafficking video (ST)
Video Three tells the story of an underage Caucasian girl from a loving American family who is abducted. An unknown attacker captures her. The following scene shows her being in a line of underage girls who are being sold to older …show more content…

O1 represents questions asked before the variable (X) is given, and O2 are the questions asked after X. The goal was to determine whether students felt differently about human trafficking after X is shown. I was looking to see if changes occurred based on how the PSA portrays human trafficking. I also wanted to discover whether, if people understand that modern slavery goes beyond forced sex work then are they more inclined to become activists, or whether people have more concern towards victims, if a PSA is mainly focused on sex

    Trafficking Victims Protection Act clearly defines the terms, communities have struggled in how to address those victims in relation to immunity.

  • Very Young Girls Documentary

    The documentary, Very Young Girls, was heart-wrenching, informative, and very hard to relate to these young girls. These girls are daughters, sisters, friends, family, and some are already mothers. However, these young women are treated and seen as criminals, not as victims. Prostitution and human-trafficking happens everywhere and every day, including in the United States. People have this perspective that human trafficking only happens in foreign countries. There’s a negative stigma on prostitution because we, as a society, only pay attention to the sexual acts and services that these women provide. Young women’s dignity, adolescences, and respect is taken away from them. Yet, this was not their choice, but they do not have positive influences

    Society often overlook crimes that are not as trending, meaning, if a certain crime was not featured often on TV even with high severity, then it would not be viewed as a major issue. One prime example is child sex prostitution. There are not a lot research concerning this particular type of crime, in addition to a small amount of ample evidence supporting the level of severity, and coming up with prevention policy (Reid, 2012). Despite minimal amount of research investment, there is a growing pattern for this type of service, both around the world and United States (Fong & Cardoso, 2010). Although, most sex trafficking cases are often more associated with adults, it is actually the youth and/or child populations that are increasing in the

    Basically the farmers and companies are getting the profit from this while the workers aren’t getting paid enough for the hard work that has to be put in to work on the fields. In the text, the workers were eventually free of this exploitation and the workers were able to work to their abilities receiving goods and services to their needs; not from someone telling them what to do in an aggressive way. In the video, exploitation for the workers was still demonstrated; such as not having a break to eat (sometimes), very low pay, long hours, early mornings, aches and pains, filthy clothing, exhaustion, dehydration, and sweaty bodies. The teenagers and their families are looking to be free from this bondage and live like normal people. The parents just wanted to see their kids out of this because they had to deal with it since birth, but their children thought very differently.

    In order to understand how sex trafficking affects its victims, one must first know the severity of sex trafficking and what it is. The issue of sex trafficking affects 2.5 million people at any given time (Abas et al., 2013). The form of sex slavery affects many women and children across the world. Even though both males and females are sexually trafficked and exploited, there is a deep emphasis on the sexual exploitation of women and children. This is due to gender discrimination (Miller, 2006). This is because women and children are more vulnerable and appeal to the larger populations of brothels and the so-called “clients” since the majority are men. Ecclestone (2013) stated that children as young as age three are trafficked. Sex trafficking has changed over time; “Today, the business of human sex trafficking is much more organized and violent. These women and young girls are sold to traffickers, locked up in rooms or brothels for weeks or months, drugged, terrorized, and raped repeatedly” (Walker-Rodriguez & Hill, 2011). It is found that many of the victims of sex trafficking are abducted, recruited, transported and forced into involuntary “sex work”. These sexual acts include prostitution, exotic dancing, pornography, and sexual escort services (McClain & Garrity, 2011). What happens to these sex trafficking victims is extremely traumatizing.

    Kleemans, Edward R. "The Challenges of Fighting Sex Trafficking in the Legalized Prostitution Market of the Netherlands - Springer." The Challenges of Fighting Sex Trafficking in the Legalized Prostitution Market of the Netherlands - Springer. Springer Link, 01 Mar. 2014. Web. 26 Mar. 2014. In 2000, the Dutch legislation made brothels legal in the Netherlands. The logic behind their legislation was to control prostitution. Given a legal age, people could now willingly sell and purchase sexual services. This paper evaluates a position that argues that human trafficking is reduced when people in the legalized prostitution area are made responsible for what happens on their premises. This idea is challenged with observed evidence about the Netherlands in general and the city of Amsterdam. Also, the paper addresses two questions. What consequences of the legalization of prostitution and prosecution are of sex trafficking? How do law enforcements collaborate with people in these sectors? The main conclusion is that the transmission of brothel owners does not create levels of clearness that enable sex trafficking to be exposed. The prostitution business shows many characteristics of an illegal business and the legalization and regulation of the prostitution area has not eliminated organized crime. This article is vital evidence for the argument of my paper. Each point of my argument is summed up with the two main topics of this article. This will be the main article used for research in my paper because the idea that it is harder to fight sex trafficking in legalized prostitution sectors.

    In America, prostitution, pornography, and stripping are all considered acts of sexual trafficking when they are forced on the victim. This increased crime has led to victimization, physical and psychological effects and after-effects of American and international victims. The government is aware of the slavery of humans taking place in this country and it has to release funds in creating programs for sex trafficking survivors and re-authorize the act that protects sex trafficking victims, in order to support the equal rights for every citizen. In 2000, the United States Congress came together in Washington D.C, to take a stand against sex trafficking. Laws and programs that protected women from violence were implemented, and they made sure that people who violated such laws were put to justice....

    Sex trafficking is essentially systemic rape for profit. Force, fraud and coercion are used to control the victim’s behavior which may secure the appearance of consent to please the buyer (or john). Behind every transaction is violence or the threat of violence (Axtell par. 4). Just a decade ago, only a third of the countries studied by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime had legislation against human trafficking. (Darker Side, par.1) Women, children, and even men are taken from their homes, and off of the streets and are brought into a life that is almost impossible to get out of. This life is not one of choice, it is in most times by force. UNODC estimates that the total international human trafficking is a $32-billion-per-year business, and that 79% of this activity comprises sexual exploitation. As many as 2 million children a year are victims of commercial sexual exploitation, according the the U.S. State Department.-- Cynthia G. Wagner. (Darker Side, par. 4) The words prostitute, pimp, escort, and stripper tend to be way too common in the American everyday vocabulary. People use these words in a joking manner, but sex trafficking is far from a joke. Everyday, from all different countries, people are bought and sold either by force or false promises. Some are kidnapped and others come to America with dreams of a dream life and job. The buyers involved in the trade will do anything to purchase an innocent life just to sell for their own selfish profit. Many people wouldn’t think of a human body to be something you can buy in the back room of a business or even online. But those plus the streets are where people are sold most often. There are many reasons and causes for sex trafficking. The factors behind sex traffic...
