Human Trafficking: The Fastest Growing Criminal Industry

In today's society it is is hard to believe that such an act exits but unfortunately it is and has been going on for years. What exactly is human trafficking and what can we do about it. Human trafficking is when another person is recruited, obtained for the main reason of exploitation.
Traffickers make money off the back of another person for their own personal gain and the victims are made to do inappropriate things against their will. "Human trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal industry in the world, generating more than $150 billion dollars" There are many forms of human trafficking when you think of trafficking sex comes to mind people are sold as sex slaves into the sex industry which is very true but there are other types of trafficking too:
Child Soldiers, Forced Labor, Forced Marriage, Debt Bondage, Domestic Servitude, Organ and Baby trafficking.
Any one can be trafficked normal average every day people of
any age, gender, race or religion. People can also be trafficked to another country where they are sold into slavery as little as 1% of people are rescued and many more die from abuse, neglect or disease. Parents also selling their own children either for adoption or sex slavery so they can buy food, pay off debts or just because the baby was born a girl. Baby traffickers also traffic pregnant woman for their unborn babies.

*Ark of hope for children claim "600,000 to 800,000 women, children and men bought and sold across international borders every year and exploited for forced labor or commercial sex.*

A lot of people know about sex trafficking, however choose to do nothing about it.
Turning their backs instead of helping to stop it. Many woman are promised employment, education or a loving relationship but when they arrive usually into a new country are forced to work in the sex industry - prostitution, strip clubs, massage parlors.
Sex trafficking can be hard to detect especially when its a more underground crime. Awareness, legislation and protocol has been increased to stop traffickers and yet people are still being trafficked. People see a prostitution and think its just another girl but how would you really know there are signs to look for such as -No id, suffers from abuse, she is never alone, nervous, scared, she lives at the place she works the list can go on.

"Human trafficking in Australia is illegal under Divisions 270 and 271 of the Criminal
Code"

We can stop sex trafficking but it is hard, alot of people are putting in the hard work to stop this crime and return people to their family's. But it is clear that we haven't found the real answer in how we are going to stop this terrible crime. It seems to me that this is something that will never stop and the laws that we have in place need to be made tougher. While this industry makes billions of dollars each year and it can pretty much buy off anyone people will still be used. Putting a stop to a billion dollar industry will never happen especially when every day people are the ones who are exploiting it. What if this was you, what if your daughter was stolen and sold people don't think like this because the woman that they just brought isn't related to them and they simple just don't care.
