Source : When Sex Trafficking Goes Unnoticed in America
The Department of Homeland Security defines
human trafficking as a “modern-day form of slavery involving the
illegal trade of people for exploitation or commercial gain.” In 2012,
the International Labor Organization estimated that there are 20.9
million human trafficking victims worldwide. There are more than 4,000 cases
of sex trafficking were reported. And as a whole human trafficking is a
lucrative industry that around the globe rakes in $150 billion.But it’s unclear whether the numbers are an accurate representation of the problem, because many cases aren’t reported. The problem with human trafficking is that of course the victims are silenced, so reporter couldn't find any information.Traffickers also play into the narrative by telling victims, who are exploited for sex, that they are offenders, threatening to call the police and report them for prostitution if they push back. Between the fiscal years 2001-2007, there was a 360 percent increase in convictions compared to the seven previous years. Despite an enhanced approach from the government, the process can still be grueling for victims. A lot of these traffickers, particularly on the sex side of things, have developed dysfunctional relationships with their victims.
Personal Reflection
The human trafficking is a serious problem, because the human traffickers sells "human" and we are humans - the highest level in food chain.If we cannot save ourselves how can we live in the world? We could also extinct like the other creature and there's would be no more living thing in the world. So, as human itself we have to take a serious action to conquer this problems and save our own population. The government's regulations are crucial and vital for this kind of problem. But first it comes to us, how we think about human being and its rights, because as we knew the seller is actually humans too! We think about humans (our being) and we respect each other by not do the trafficking or even violence.

Your article is verry interesting..
ReplyDeleteI really like your articles
i thought human trafficking has been prevented by some countries but after read your article it was surprising that the victim reached 20.9 million worldwide. I hope the government take further action to decrease the number of human trafficking victims each year. your statement is right we should not do violence to others but instead we should respect each other.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too..
