Thesis Statement A. What I hope to aim for my audience is too see what these young girls went through and how they are lured into this not willing wanting to go. I went through and listen to lots of stories of woman who were taken when younger and how they were enslaved by these men who mentally controlled their thoughts. When I read about poor stories from overseas how parents where so desperate for money they sell their children it was heartbreaking, but those two young ladies today Keiu and Sara are now working with a group home building a future and hoping to help other victims. The purpose to give the audience a better understanding what human trafficking is and how it’s going on in our neighborhoods.

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.
the stigma of human can occur in many ways. For example, survivors of human trafficking may be blamed for their victimization, such as if they choose to join prostitution. They may face discrimination in trying to find housing or job. They often get discretized of having no control over their lives. Survivors often get embarrassment as a result of being victims of human trafficking that cause them to sporadic from
The legal and non-legal responses to the contemporary issue of human trafficking and slavery (HTS) are effective to a certain extent, but is increasingly being questioned. Human trafficking (HT) is the commercial trade or trafficking in human beings for the purpose of some form of slavery, usually involving recruiting, transporting or obtaining a person by force, coercion or deceptive means. Slavery involves a form of forced or bonded labour, with or without pay, under threat of violence. The United Nations (UN) outlines the ban on slavery and torture under Articles 3 and 4 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), stating that “no one shall be held in slavery or servitude or be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading
In 2016 there has been 135 human trafficking cases reported in Missouri (Hotline Statistics 2016). Since 2012 human trafficking has gotten worse by 87 more cases reported to be exact. These last four years human trafficking has only increased in being a problem in the US. To my knowledge I did not know how major of a problem this issue was and has become. On the other hand the video proves that all types of human trafficking can be found anywhere and is everywhere.
Imagine being a young child and being forced into labor for 18 hours, your back is aching, and you never get a break, this is what a handful of children go through in America. Children in America are being exposed in Human Trafficking. “Human Trafficking” is the new term for slavery, a crime as old as civilization. Children and their families are having traumatic experiences due to the smuggling of children, which could have been avoided. The United Nations should avert child trafficking in the United States because it causes physical and mental complications to the victims, affects social lives and alters their education.
As prostitution is a heart breaking reality for women globally, to a woman or young girl who has grown up in a destroyed environment, the pressure to provide for her family or to make “quick money” prostitution quickly becomes an ultimate option. However, fighting human trafficking and reaching out to a prostitute is not the same. Young girls, women and even some boys are physically locked behind doors, terrified for not only their lives, but the lives of their loved ones. Typically human trafficking begins when someone in a family owes another party some sort of debt but cannot afford it. The child or adult becomes a form of collateral.
In the United States, human trafficking has taken on different forms than what is normally thought of as human trafficking. It can range from a migrant laborer wanting to get a job to be able to support his family to survive who is then forced into manipulative work to a child running away to get away from abuse that is happening at home and the person that is helping the child get away from the abusive situation at home turns out to be exploiting him or her to make a profit (Farrell et al, 2014). According the International Labour Organization has estimated that 20.9 million people are involved in human trafficking in the whole world, with 1.5 million victims are in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe. In 2011, there were 3,969 convictions worldwide, and there were only 151 convictions in the United States.
The United States prides itself in being “the land of the free” and the “land of opportunity,” yet this is not the case for the many victims of sex trafficking that reside in the U.S. Despite relatively strict legislation and visible media exposure of this crime against humanity, the United States continues to be a destination point for many victims of sex trafficking. Many Americans are surprised that this could happen here despite laws and organizations promoting awareness. A combination of American cultural attitudes toward the sex industry, both positive and negative, the ineffective enforcement of laws, and the high profitability for organized criminals are responsible for the persistence of sex trafficking to the United States.
While it emerges that males make up about a portion of human trafficking victims, the counts may be more, particularly for those included in sex trafficking. Pretty
