Human trafficking

Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is a big problem in the world. In1865, President Abraham Lincoln and the United States Congress ratified the 13th Amendment of the Constitution which states neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist within the United States.1 Over the past decade, trafficking in human beings has reached epidemic proportions. No country is immune, including the United States. Traffickers operate in our own country, stalking our own citizens, especially our children. “The U. S. State Department’s 2005 Report on Human Trafficking estimates that between 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders every year and almost 20,000 are trafficked across U.S. borders alone.” United States law enforcement has documented cases of Latvian girls trafficked into sexual slavery in Chicago, or Ukrainian girls trafficked in Los Angeles, and Maryland, or Thai, Korean, Malaysian and Vietnamese girls trafficked in Georgia, or Mexican girls trafficked in California, New Jersey and Florida. There is not an absolute solution to human trafficking, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this essay, however there are many partial solutions. Trafficking is a fairly lucrative industry. In some areas, like Russia, Eastern Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, and Colombia, trafficking is controlled by large criminal organizations, criminals exploit lack of opportunities, promise good jobs or opportunities for study, and then force the victims to become prostitutes, so these kind of persons approach the unstable situation of the persons and try to convince them with false hopes this is one of the principal causes of human trafficking. I think that the solution of this problem is to try to increase the work and the education on people that lives in poor zones because there are the principal victims also make some campaigns to prevent the people and try to apply the laws to these criminals’ organizations around the world. This problem includes forcing people into prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs. For children, exploitation may also include forced prostitution, illicit international adoption, trafficking for early marriage, or recruitment as child soldiers, beggars, for sports, or for religious cults. Non Government Organization (NGO) should take their part to overcome this human trafficking issue. For example, NGO’s can organize more campaign to citizens on how to protect themselves from being cheated by those criminal. The NGO’s can join up together with the mass media such as television, radio, newspaper and also the internet to educate community about human-trade information. The NGO’s should be closer with the government in the parliamentary to discuss the solution for it. NGO’s also should not strive for the environmental issues solely, but the humanities issue are also the important issue now. People who are not high well education, will easily get cheated by luxury life, so, they are willing to get abroad to the new country to get job, and money for their expenses. They won’t realize that they can be cheated easily, so, this people need guidance. People those who were saved from becoming the slave in various activities, are homeless, and they have nothing in the new country. So, NGO’s also can start a new life for them, by conducting financial fund. The contribution will help to protect the victims by providing them a shelters, cloths, food and others basic things that they need. Motivation is the most important things and they really need it to gain back their hopes. We also can help the NGO’s by be volunteers in welfare organizations to help the victims.
