Sex trafficking involves individuals profiting from the sexual exploitation of others and has severe physical and psychological consequences for its victims. Although anyone can become a victim of trafficking, it predominately affects women and children. Human sex trafficking violates women and children’s basic human rights, including the right to freedom from slavery and slavery-like practices; the right to equal protection under the law; the right to freedom from discrimination based on race, nationality, and gender; and the rights to life, security of person and freedom from torture. Governments also violate trafficked persons’ rights when they fail to prevent sex trafficking, prosecute perpetrators or provide trafficked persons with effective remedies for these violations, such as access to courts and legal immigration status. Human sex trafficking results in grave human rights violations.…
For this assignment I chose to use the yahoo search engine to look up information on Human Trafficking in the United States. There were approximately 12 links I could have chosen from that were related to human trafficking. I chose the Wikipedia link. Wikipedia gives you a more in depth definition and information. The definition Wikipedia provided read as: human trafficking is the modern form of slavery, with illegal smuggling and tradimg of people, for forced labour or sexual exploitation. Trafficking is the recruitment or transferring of people by means of coercion or abduction. In the U.S human trafficking tends to occur in California and Texas. They both have an integrated population, mostly made up of immigrants. The U.S Justice Department cannot give a definite number of how many people are trafficked into the country; they do estimate the number to be about 17,500. Those being trafficked are usually young children, teenagers, men and women and domestic citizens or foreign nationals. Wikipedia gives a little history on slavery. It also tells of a man named Richard Leonard Kuklinski, he was an imprisoned murderer. He descrived to a biographer that the ages of children trafficked are between 7-14, of both genders and two races. Another country that is one of the largest hubs for trafficking is Atlanta, Georgia. They have over 200 active brothels and more open each month. Atlanta has strip clubs and spas that serve as a front for sex trafficking. Wikipedia goes on to tell about the laws, bills, and national organizations hat are against any kind of trafficking. I would probably not recommend yahoo as a search engine. Often times it give you results not related to the intial search. I would recommend Wikipedia though. It gives you great information about your topic of choice and it also gives you other sites you can do research on.…

Sex trafficking is a medium of modern slavery in which people perform commercial sex through the use of fraud, force, and coercion. It is a crime and a huge offense to the laws the U.S. has set in place as a nation. Approximately 4.5 million people are victims of this crime a year; close to 800,000 of those people reside within the U.S. borders. Men and women under the age of 18 engaging in commercial sex are considered to be victims of human trafficking, regardless of the use of force, fraud, or coercion. Sex traffickers frequently target weak, desperate, and naive victims and then use violence, threats, lies, debt bondage, or other forms of control and manipulation to keep victims involved in the sex industry for their own profit. Many of these criminals have been known to lure in their prey with acts of love or attention to the effect that some victims can remain blind to their afflictions and enslavement for long periods of time.…

Trafficking in persons refers to the illegal trade or "sale" of human beings for sexual exploitation or forced labor through abduction, the use or threat of force, deception and fraud. It knows no gender, race, age, or even boundaries (due to globalization). (Perkins)…

This human trafficking project is an evaluation of how much knowledge people hold in relating to this human illness most common in women. Human Trafficking is the trade in innocent human, mostly common for the purpose of sexual slavery and forced labor. When people are sold as sex slaves, their human dignity is stripped and taken away. People should not have a price because we’re are all priceless in God’s eyes. From doing this project, we had people sign the petition to raise more awareness about this specific human illness. Its amazing how so much people would sign a petition just by hearing the words “Human Trafficking”--people don’t even think twice about this subject. It becomes a personal problem to those whose neighbors and loved ones are stolen and sold into this sick industry. Since we’re only in high school and our island doesn’t have any foundations contributing to human trafficking, we couldn’t do much. Although, we all have attained a lot of knowledge of human trafficking by doing research and gathering the opinions of others on this subject. We all plan to do something in the future that makes a difference and eventually stops human trafficking.…

Wow how do I even begin to explain my feelings after reading and watching the videos on the topic of human trafficking? When I read the assignment for this paper the first thing I thought of before I even went to the website was the movie Taken. In this movie a girl, probably around the age of sixteen, which is old compared to the ages the web page stated, was abducted while visiting a foreign country. She was then drugged and auctioned off as a sex slave. This movie was one of the best movies I have ever seen because of the emotional feelings it evoked in me. How scary would it be to be taken from everyone you know and drugged, sold, and rapped repetedly. I can not imagine what that would feel like.…
Human trafficking is a form of modern day slavery that plagues every country across the world. Men, women, and children are taken against their will every day and forced into prostitution or slave labor. Most victims’ ages range from 18 to 24 year of age, although there are children that are trafficked. ( ) Victims, most likely, are from poor families or have been abused or mistreated. Some children are sold by their own families for money. Other families are promised that if they send their child away with the traffickers, they will be taken to a nice place where there are lots of jobs and children will be able to send money home to the family. The traffickers make billions of dollars in profit from smuggling the victims into other countries or other areas and/or paid for by using the victims in slave labor or prostitution. Human trafficking is a very serious form of organized crime and one of the fastest growing in the world. As long as there is a demand, traffickers will supply these victims. ( )…
Human trafficking is considered to be the equivalent to modern day slavery. Even judging by the definition, human trafficking has a very negative term. Human trafficking, in many articles, is described as “the illegal trade of human beings, mainly for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation or forced labor” (“Human Trafficking”). Human trafficking is becoming more and more of a problem and it has caught the attention of the UN. The UN is seeing that human trafficking is affecting the economies of countries and is morally wrong. One of the countries that suffers significantly from human trafficking is the Philippines.…

"And that 's when she pushed me in the car."…
