According to A Theoretical Perspective on Human Trafficking and Migration-Debt Contracts human trafficking is more complex than what most people contemplate.
The relocation of a human can cause an extreme amount of anxiety for the migrant as well as the trafficker. There are multiple people that assist in the trafficking of individuals who have specific concentrations: investors fund majority of the operation, organizers oversee the entire operation, recruiters seek potential migrants, transporters assist migrants on land, air, or sea, corrupt public officials negotiate how to get migrants in and out illegally, guide and crew members get the migrant from one location to the next, enforcing ensure that everyone is doing their job, local assistance …show more content…

Researchers are perplexed as to why human traffickers would want to be a part of such a horrifying experience for innocent people who simply want a better life for themselves and their family. In order to decrease number of humans being trafficked, consumers must be educated on the last terrifying effects it has on the individuals (Alexander M. Capron, & Francis L. Delmonico. 2015). Nonetheless, society has to seriously boycott their actions and demand that they end their immoral habits (Alexander M. Capron, & Francis L. Delmonico. 2015). Women are being tricked into thinking that traffickers will provide a better and more pleasing lifestyle for them if they do what they are asked to do one hundred percent of the time (Van Impe, K. 2000). While many people are under the impression that the cause of human trafficking is caused by poverty and a lack of education, more and more women are being sexually abused (Joarder, M. A. M., & Miller, P. W. …show more content…

2014. p40). Illegal immigrants are living in a country where they are not receiving the full protection of the United States because they are not legal citizens (Brennan, D. 2014. p41). Sadly, women and children go through three levels of vulnerability once they are forced into the human trafficking industry: personal vulnerability is preexisting life situations, situational vulnerability is created by someone else, circumstantial vulnerability is created unexpected (Di Nicola, A. 2009. P3). The study concludes that the massive number of sex trafficking that is steadily increasing; many Americans and government officials have found that by enforcing deportation laws human trafficking will decrease (Brennan, D. 2014. p42). Not to mention, the rise of HIV/AIDS has and will increase due to the uninvited actions of unprotected sex (Mameli, P. A. 2002. p76). The contemplation of human trafficking alone is looked down upon and outsiders are easily angered, but no action is taken place to implement change (Honeyman, K. L., Stukas, A. A., & Marques, M. D.,

Theresa Flores’s “The Slave Across the Street,” is a personal anecdote whose main purpose is to make Americans aware of the reality of human trafficking being in the U.S. and in our neighborhoods. The book shows how even in seemingly good life situations, traffickers are able to pick out and victimize those that are vulnerable. This does not only happen in third world countries, or in inner city, low income housing. Human trafficking is apparent throughout the U.S., in all levels of socio-economic classes. By Flores telling her story, she achieves the purpose in showing a different side of human trafficking that most people do not realize it has.

There will be no solution to the growing problem of human trafficking until more people are aware of how human trafficking takes place, until states begin to deter human trafficking more effectively, and until more individuals take an active role in reporting possible acts of trafficking to the proper authorities. Therefore human trafficking cannot be defined as any one particular crime; it is not simply sexual exploitation. Other forms of human trafficking are labor trafficking, slavery and in some cases human trafficking consist of the removal of organs. It is much more than that because human trafficking has many different characteristics. In the article "Hidden in Plain Sight: Human Trafficking in the United States,” Hepburn and Simon state that “. . .

It is really perturbing that when suddenly when driving into a certain neighborhood, or street, and in a specific time of night, you see various women slowly starting to appear walking in the night. While children wonder why those women are out so late, and parents try unsuccessfully to distract them from the situation, no one truly dares to change anything. Most just simple choose to look away, not aware of the horrors these people face. The sole idea of one’s own family members in this industry, would make anyone’s skin crawl. Sex trafficking has stained society’s history, present, and sadly, it’s future.

Sex Trafficking is a form of modern day slavery that exists throughout the United States and globally. It is one of the biggest lies in society (Farley et., 2014). The Vanderbilt Law Review indicates that the majority of prostitutes do not enter the prostitution lifestyle on their own free will choice, but instead becomes a prostitute due to a variety of vulnerabilities that both pimps and traffickers exploit. This explains why young women get blindsided and think they are becoming a prostitute when in reality they are a sex trafficking victim (Elrod 2015). When the United States made prostitution illegal, it did not change the mentality of the johns.

One of the many things that can make a person susceptible to trafficking is their financial situation. Victims of trafficking might come from any socioeconomic class, but the lack of resources, especially employment prospects, is intrinsically tied to the crime. When people desperately try to escape poverty, they may fall victim to deceptive job practices or sex trafficking. Human traffickers focus on the poor and those who are otherwise unable to provide for even their necessities. Over a third of the world's population, or 2.5 billion people, are at risk for human trafficking since they earn less than $2.00 per day (Cook et al., 2022).

Along with irony and characterization, symbolism is used to prove that people hold grudges, their pride of identity gives way to revenge, which can end in a fatality.

They are both used to make them think that they are getting what they want, but instead the opposite happens. “But I must first render you all the little attentions in my power.’

It is important that the public is informed about the nature of human trafficking, how to assist law enforcement in the fight against trafficking, and how to avoid becoming a victim. Like some in law enforcement, much of the public may view victims of human trafficking as participators in the crime, leading to a negative stigma associated with trafficking victims. By educating the public about the true nature of human trafficking, this stigma may be alleviated. Additionally, law enforcement may benefit from the creation of specific ways for the public to report suspected cases of human trafficking, particularly in large cities or areas with high levels of trafficking. Yates (2015) stresses the need for law enforcement to create community partnerships with the general public, civic and social groups, and religious organizations in the fight against human trafficking.
