What are the root causes of trafficking?

The root causes of trafficking are various and often differ from one country to another.

Trafficking is a complex phenomenon that is often driven or influenced by social, economic,

cultural and other factors. Many of these factors are specific to individual trafficking

patterns and to the States in which they occur. There are, however, many factors that tend

to be common to trafficking in general or found in a wide range of different regions,

patterns or cases. One such factor is that the desire of potential victims to migrate is exploited

by offenders to recruit and gain initial control or cooperation, only to be replaced by more

coercive measures once the victims have been moved to another State or region of the

country, which may not always be the one to which they had intended to migrate.

Some of the common factors are local conditions that make populations want to migrate

in search of better conditions: poverty, oppression, lack of human rights, lack of social or

economic opportunity, dangers from conflict or instability and similar conditions. Political

instability, militarism, civil unrest, internal armed conflict and natural disasters may result

in an increase in trafficking. The destabilization and displacement of populations increase

their vulnerability to exploitation and abuse through trafficking and forced labour. War and

civil strife may lead to massive displacements of populations, leaving orphans and street

children extremely vulnerable to trafficking.

These factors tend to exert pressures on victims that “push” them into migration and hence

into the control of traffickers, but other factors that tend to “pull” potential victims can

also be significant. Poverty and wealth are relative concepts which lead to both migration
and trafficking patterns in which victims move from conditions of extreme poverty to conditions of less-

extreme poverty. In that context, the rapid expansion of broadcast and

telecommunication media, including the Internet, across the developing world may have

increased the desire to migrate to developed countries and, with it, the vulnerability of

would-be migrants to traffickers.

The practice of entrusting poor children to more affluent friends or relatives may create vulnerability.

Some parents sell their children, not just for the money, but also in the hope

that their children will escape a situation of chronic poverty and move to a place where

they will have a better life and more opportunities.

Tool 9.2 Addressing the root causes of trafficking

Overview

This tool discusses the root causes of trafficking in persons and the economic and

social policies identified in the OSCE Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human

Beings aimed at addressing those root causes.

ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSES

chapter 9 Prevention of trafficking in persons 455

In some States, social or cultural practices also contribute to trafficking. For example, the

devaluation of women and girls in a society makes them disproportionately vulnerable to

trafficking.

Added to these factors are the issues of porous borders, corrupt Government officials, the

involvement of international organized criminal groups or networks and limited capacity of

or commitment by immigration and law enforcement officers to control borders.

Lack of adequate legislation and of political will and commitment to enforce existing

legislation or mandates are other factors that facilitate trafficking in persons.

 In response to the above root causes, most prevention strategies fall within one of the

following categories:

Reducing the vulnerability of potential victims through social and economic development

Discouraging the demand for the services of trafficked persons

Public education

Border control

Preventing the corruption of public officials

Recommended preventive action at the national level

The Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings adopted by OSCE contains a

number of measures recommended for adoption at the national level in order to prevent

trafficking in human beings. They consist of: (a) measures relating to data collection and

research; (b) border measures; (c) economic and social policies aimed at addressing the root

causes of trafficking in human beings; (d) awareness-raising measures; and (e) legislative

measures. The following economic and social policies are recommended:

In countries of origin:

Considering as priority goals the fostering of social, economic and political stability,

and the reduction both of migration caused by deep poverty and of supply factors

of trafficking. Policies followed in pursuit of these goals should also promote both

economic development and social inclusion.

Improving children’s access to educational and vocational opportunities and increasing the level of

school attendance, in particular by girls and minority groups.

Enhancing job opportunities for women by facilitating business opportunities for

small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Organizing SME training courses and
 targeting them in particular at high-risk groups.

In countries of destination:

Implementing measures to reduce “the invisibility of exploitation”. A multi-agency

programme of monitoring, administrative controls and intelligence gathering on the

labour markets and, where applicable, on the sex industry, will contribute greatly to

this objective.

456 Toolkit to Combat Trafficking in Persons

Considering the liberalization by Governments of their labour markets with a view

to increasing employment opportunities for workers with a wide range of skills

levels.

Addressing the problem of unprotected, informal and often illegal labour, with a

view to seeking a balance between the demand for inexpensive labour and the

possibilities of regular migration.

Tackling underground economic activities that undermine economies and enhance

trafficking.

In both countries of origin and countries of destination:

Taking measures to raise levels of social protection and to create employment

opportunities for all

Taking appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against women in the field

of employment in order to ensure, on a basis of gender equality, the right to equal

pay for equal work and the right to equality in employment opportunities

Addressing all forms of discrimination against minorities

Developing programmes that offer livelihood options and include basic education,

literacy, communication and other skills, and reduce barriers to entrepreneurship

Encouraging gender sensitization and education on equal and respectful relationships

between the sexes, thus preventing violence against women

Ensuring that policies are in place that allow women equal access to and control

over economic and financial resources

Promoting flexible financing and access to credit, including microcredit at low interest

Promoting good governance and transparency in economic transactions

Adopting or strengthening legislative, educational, social, cultural or other measures

and, where applicable, penal legislation, including through bilateral and multilateral

cooperation, to discourage the demand that fosters all forms of exploitation of

persons, especially women and children, and that leads to trafficking

Human trafficking is the illegal acquisition of labor or commercial sex against the person being trafficked.

Choosing this topic was a good idea, to spread awareness and also gain more knowledge. As an English

student some expected benefits of human trafficking are to improve researching and writing skills.

Relevant information can be collected through articles, videos, and images.

The video “What are the causes of Human Trafficking” by FOCLonline, published on November 22, 2016.

The video talks about causes of human trafficking and explains the causes. Undoubtedly Human

Trafficking is increasing due to the need of money.

This video “Human Trafficking” by Ministry of Human Development, published on April 22, 2016. The

video talks about some causes of Human trafficking and say’s that Traffickers can also be Relatives and

much more. Unfortunately, you can’t even trust your own family.

This article “What are the root causes of human Trafficking” was published on 12/15/08. This tool

discusses the root causes of trafficking in persons and the economic and social policies identified in the

OSCE Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings aimed at addressing those root causes. Even

mothers are selling their kinds now a days that’s why there are a lot of victims in this world.
Reflection 2:

All of my three artefacts use formal language. Firstly the article contains formal language because it’s

grammer and spelling is on point which makes the reader understand it smoothly .

Secondly the first video “ What are the root causes of Human Trafficking” by FOCLonline also uses

formal language because the women talking on the video uses good good pronunciation of words and

uses complete sentences.

Lastly the second video “Human Trafficking” By Ministry of Human Development contains formal

language as well because the lady talking is understood really well.

Reflection 3:

Working in groups is very helpful to many, personally it has helped me to interact more with others.

Other aspects that have made me a superior person would be the gaining of researching and typing

skills. Before getting in task with this SBA I used to type minimum of words per minute, but now I type

more words than before. On the other hand, my researching skills have improved, now I go in dept with

the information and try to use it in an effective way, I would normally just research for what I was

looking for and not go deep in it. My time management has for sure improved a lot, since now I get

things done on time and not wait for last minute. Working on this SBA has helped me in many ways like

being a more responsible, independent person and to get things done on time.
Written Report:

Three artifacts have been selected after careful analysis of various articles. These artifacts include a

document from the CT data collaborative “Means of Control Used on Adults and Children”, this image is

related to the question: “How are these victims used and why?” The next artifact is an article called “An

interview about surviving Human Trafficking: Margeaux Gray'' this has a related question which is: “How

do these victims escape?”. The last artifact is a video about “How Human Traffickers “Break” Their

Victims” by Exodus Cry, this article is related to the question: “How does this affect the victim mentally

and physically?” The first artifact, the CT data collaborative document shows how not only children but

also adults are used for trafficking, it also shows us how much these ways have been used. This helps us

learn that these victims are not used just for sexual intercourse but for various ways to get their way of

living. The second article about Margeaux Gray explains her personal experience as a victim, at the age

of 5 years old, of trafficking by a trusted adult, it tells us how she coped with the past trauma she has

gone through and how gives us advice on how society can help other victims throughout their healing

process. It helps us learn that we cannot trust people as much because we do not know what they could

be planning behind our backs, these people can be trusted by family members, friends, and even people

whom we don’t know. The third artifact of the Exodus Cry video shows how traffickers take away the

innocence of their victims, which should have been something special that they would have enjoyed

with the right person. These dreadful demons ruined their hopes and dreams forever.
Poem:

Human Trafficking such a cruel fate a devastating problem that no one can ignore and underestimate.

Poverty and inequality the root of the issue, people are vulnerable and that’s the sad truth.

Lack of Education no work to be found Hopelessness sets in despair all around.

Corruption and greed modern-days slavers exploiting the vulnerable using them as labourers.

A call to action, we must unite raise awareness shine a light.

Protect the vulnerable restore their freedom and rights The end of Human Trafficking a world where all

can thrive.

There is no mercy!

There is no forgiveness!

There is no love!

Human trafficking and slavery of the almighty dollar and no one seems to hear the screams and hollers.

Human Trafficking is the key for money to come in easily.

Scamming has become a trend even with family and friends.

No one can do everything but everyone can do something!

We have voices to use so let’s male the noise to be seen.
