Sex trafficking is diverse, making it hard for people to get themselves out of it. Someone could be involved with a partner who either forces them or tricks them into it. One could be offered opportunities, such as a job or money. One could be sold by their parents or guardians (“Sex” Trafficking). A person could go online to see an ad that is really a trick, apply to a fake business, get escorted by a fake escort, get taken in the street, a hotel, or rest stop. Anything could happen and once one is in there is no saying how long one will be there (“Sex” Polaris).…

Sex trafficking is not the only form of human trafficking that happens in developed countries. Trafficking for forced labour is also an issue. In Canada, there are indications that foreign nationals have been transported and exploited by employers as domestic servants. Investigations have been conducted and charges pressed in places like Ontario and British Columbia. However, obtaining cooperation from foreign victims can be tough. They are often alone and communication efforts can be often hampered by language barriers. Additionally, victims may have a fear of law enforcement officers and think that there is nothing to be gained from cooperation.…
Slavery was abolished 150 years ago and yet there are more people in slavery today than in any other time in our history. Women and children all around the world search and hope for a better life. Some take that dream as far as to travel across oceans in pursuit of that goal. Unfortunately, these women and children usually fall victim to groups and companies who exploit and condemn them into slavery known as human trafficking. Human trafficking involves smuggle illegal citizens from other world countries and submitting them into forced processes such as prostitution, child labor, labor forces, and many others. Human trafficking is the second highest crime rate in America short of drug crimes. It’s a horrendous profit marketing that targets poorer country citizens.…
Human trafficking is the illegal act of forcing people, commonly women and children, to perform slave actions. Everyone knows human trafficking is a global problem, but most people do not realize it happens in the United States as well. Thousands of people are affected by this awful crime in the U.S. every day and most of the people that commit it are never caught. Sadly, most trafficking cases occur in massage parlors and spas while the customers are completely oblivious to it. The worst part about human trafficking is that kids, who are forced to commit these awful actions, are often caught and arrested for prostitution, vandalism, or curfew…
Alas, no gender, age, nor ethnicity is exempt from the global crisis of human trafficking. However, the victims are not dispersed evenly throughout the planet. The International Labour Organization (ILO) has concluded that the over half of all trafficked persons, for a total of 11.7 million slaves, come from the Asia-Pacific region. Meanwhile, the highest rates of people trafficked per thousand inhabitants exists in Central and Southeastern Europe (depicted in light blue) and Africa regions (depicted in tan), both having a rate of over four trafficked persons for every one thousand inhabitants (“Statistics on Forced Labour…”). Though the United States of America has one of the lowest rates of human trafficking worldwide, slavery still poses…
Human trafficking is a situation that happens all over Unites States and it’s a problem that’s been going on for a very long time. The average entry age of American minors into the sex trade is 12-14 years old. Many kids or women who get rescued from these criminal business industries should be allowed to decide if they get pregnant to abort their child. They should be allowed to abort their kid because they have gone through a rough situation that no one should go through. If abortion becomes illegal and a mother has to bear the child, the mother has a high percentage of not being able to provide the child a decent life, the mother may resent the child, which would result in the child growing up unwanted or unloved and the child may have a…
Human trafficking has become a large issue in many countries around the world, but in the United States it is illegal; yet it still exist, this is why the United States needs to become more involved in the issues of human trafficking. There are two common types of human trafficking: sexual and labor. Data collected between 2010 and 2012 shows 53% of trafficking was sexual and 40% was labor, this percent was calculated out of 31,766 reports. And in 2000 50,000 women and children were trafficked annually (Potocky, Miriam).…
Victims of human trafficking also have medical needs. The United States seem to forget about this simple necessity to living. Most victims need physical exams, gynecological exams, and dental care as soon as they reach United States soil. Very few victims have access to these basic things when they are working. Human trafficking victims show that medical treatment is completely essential to their physical and psychological well being. Prostituted minors are at a super high risk for HIV and STD’s. The risk of prostituted minors also depends on the local area HIV infection rate, use of condoms, and awareness of the clients towards the use of protection. Younger children are usually not as wise and more unaware…
Sex trafficking is a terrible widespread phenomenon in the United States. Human trafficking ranks 3rd in world crime. An U.N. agency estimated the total value of human trafficking at $150 billion. (Tampa bay times)…
Human trafficking is an ongoing criminal industry that affects the lives of many people in America, as noted before and nowhere near to being terminated. Sex trafficking, labor trafficking, and debt bondage are the three major kinds of human trafficking where traffickers generate vast amount of money and single profiling is nonexistent. Victims have diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, varied levels of education, may be documented or undocumented, etc. When focusing on the U.S. entirely, all across the map there are different reporting’s of human trafficking, and there will be a continuation of it. However, it’s essential to recognize the signs to prevent someone from being trafficked, or simply providing information and/or resources regarding human trafficking. It’s time to be conscious of the dilemma occurring in the U.S., and discuss…

Labor trafficking is when individuals provide some sort of labor or services, through the use of force. Most of the victims are being manipulated, lied to, threatened, or given an unfair pay. The victims are put into poor working conditions and have a hard time getting out. Of the 14.2 million people in forced labor seventy three percent are adults and the other twenty seven percent are children. Sixty percent are males and only forty percent of the 14.2 million are female (“21 million). While some people think that it is acceptable to buy products from other countries where labor trafficking is a recurring event, the United States…
