    Human Trafficking

    There are nearly 21 million victims of human trafficking worldwide (I Totally


    Followed). Human trafficking is the trade of people illegally and most of the time
    against their will. Nationally, 50% of trafficked victims are children and
    overwhelmingly, most of them are girls (HUMAN TRAFFICKING).
    Human trafficking is the modern day slavery. Human trafficking uses
    vulnerability of victims to transport them and bring them into the trade (Human
    Trafficking). Victims of human trafficking are held in conditions similar to the ways
    slaves in the earlier centuries were treated. The victims are taken into human
    trafficking are given no choice of what work they will perform. They are paid little or
    nothing for preforming, and they are confined under threats and violence (Cullen-Du
    Pont). The majority of human trafficking in the USA is sex trafficking (HUMAN
    TRAFFICKING).
    If victims, when they are transported, have passports or other official
    documents these papers are often taken from them, leaving them without proof of
    identity or ability to travel (Cullen-Du Pont). The profit of modern day slavery is
    significantly more profitable than slavery in the earlier era. The business of human
    trafficking brings in approximately 32 billion dollars annually. All cases of human
    trafficking begin in a community and end in a community. Every case of human
    trafficking can ultimately be prevented (HUMAN TRAFFICKING).

    The people in charge of the human trafficking ring rely on the vulnerability of
    the victims too capture them. Some conditions that make people vulnerable are
    poverty, threats, violence, and ethnicity or gender discrimination. The conditions
    that make people vulnerable encourage migration to a country that offers more
    opportunity. The lack of customs and security for migration it makes it easier for
    human traffickers to traffic people. Some causes are more personal. Children are at
    particularly at risk of being trafficked because they have unstable family situations
    or because some are homeless. However children who do not have a home or a
    specific state are extremely vulnerable to commercial sexual exploitation (HUMAN
    TRAFFICKING).
    Another component that human traffickers thrive on is globalization, the
    growing trade interaction around the world. Illegal businesses keep labor cost low
    by using workers who are modern day slaves. Slaves in the 1850s could be
    purchased for $9,500 or $11,000 at a global weight. But today slaves sell for a
    global weighted average of $420 (HUMAN TRAFFICKING).
    Some believe that not only the race and ethnicity contributes a risk factor of
    trafficking, also it may determine the treatment the victims undergo. The Bureau
    Justice Statistics show that 77% of victims in alleged human trafficking incidents
    that have been reported in the US were of colored people (HUMAN TRAFFICKING).
    Studies have shown that most human trafficking victims are of color and from third
    world countries.
    Victims of human trafficking have typically been tricked, lied to, threatened,
    assaulted, raped, or confined. People get involved with human trafficking for many
    reasons. Some reasons are they simply seeking a better life, a promising job, or

    Crestanello 3
    even an adventure. Others sometimes they may be in poverty and forced to migrate
    for work or they may be marginalized by their society. Traffickers usually instill fears
    in the victims to ensure their control. Many victims do not even know that the abuse
    they suffered is a crime and they may hide from authorities because they fear
    punishment, arrest, or deportation. Victims after escaping trafficking is unlikely to
    even know how to gain access to services for complex government systems. And to
    have knowledge that a victim referral mechanism exists. Governments that put in
    place victim protection structures cannot idly wait for victims to come forward on
    their own to seek protection (HUMAN TRAFFICKING).
    After victims of human trafficking escape they need help in areas such as
    protection from traffickers, food, clothing, housing, medical and health care, legal
    services, assistance in public benefits, public transportation, language skills, job
    training, and family reunification (HUMAN TRAFFICKING). The FBI lead a nationwide
    sweep in July 2013 targeted at human trafficking rings in 76 cities. Agents arrested
    18 pimps in metro Detroit, which is the most of any of the 76 cities they targeted.
    That same sweep rescued 10 children from the sex trafficking in metro Detroit.
    According to the 2013 Michigan Commission on human trafficking report, the
    children were recovered from private homes in Flint and Romulus and motels in
    Madison Heights, Farmington Hills, Southfield and Detroit (A Bar of Soap).
    As a victim of human trafficking, Holly Austin was 14 years old in 1992 when
    she ran away from her family. She was running away from a future at Pinelands
    Regional High School that frightened her, and former friends who bullied her. During
    Hollys summer between 8th and 9th grade she met a man in his early 30s at the
    Hamilton Mall in Mays Landing. She spent three weeks confiding in him about her
    fears of high school and her problems with friends. He told her she was beautiful

    Crestanello 4
    enough to be a model, and he talked about a glamorous night life he enjoyed with
    famous people. He promised her a new life if only she would run away with him.
    That summer she accepted his offer, but it did not take her to the night clubs of Los
    Angeles. Instead Holly was on the streets of Atlantic City. Holly remembers how a
    woman in a motel room dressed her for what she then thought would be a night at
    the clubs. Reality hit when the man returned to the room and told her she had just a
    few hours to make $100. And when she was threatened of physical violence she
    realized she was being put into prostitution. Two days after Holly left home police
    arrested her for prostitution in Atlantic City. This changed Hollys view on life (I
    Totally Followed).
    To avoid modern day slavery the trafficking cycles should recognize explicitly
    the connections between trafficking, migration, poverty, gender, and racial
    discrimination. Raising awareness and increasing access to education of the
    dangers amongst the people most vulnerable and help people build lives free from
    the risk of human trafficking. An organization called Stop The Traffik threw a
    campaign called Freedom Tickets for Life, which is supporting community groups in
    trafficking hot spots around the world (HUMAN TRAFFICKING).
    Human trafficking can happen anywhere. Human trafficking is the trade of
    people illegally. Human trafficking violates all human rights because the victims are
    treated like property; they are disrespected, and sometimes beaten. Human
    trafficking is a very controversial. Some people are against the trafficking but some
    support it because they survive on it.
