HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND THE CAUSE OF IT
Human trafficking is recruitment, transportation, transfer or harbouring persons either by the threat or use of kidnapping, assault, fraud, or coercion, or the giving or receiving payment of interest or illegal to reach agreement a person having control over others for the purpose of sexual exploitation or forced labour. Smuggling does not require transnational movement; anyone can become victims of human trafficking such as documented and unauthorized immigrants. There are many factors of human trafficking such as cultural factors, corruption and law enforcement are weak and poverty. There are many factors that caused this social plague. First and foremost, women’s role in the family. Although cultural norm stress that a women’s place is at home as wife and mother, it is acknowledged that women may have to become supplementary wage earners in times of family need. A sense of duty and obligation drives many women migrate for work in order to support their families. Other than that, children’s role in their respective family. Obedience to parents and obligation to support the family makes children vulnerable to trafficking. Child labour, child migration for work and child bonded labour are deemed acceptable family financial strategies to survive. Followed by another factor which is early marriage. From here, it is known that early marriage has serious implications for girls, including health hazards, the end of schooling, limited economic opportunities, disruption of personal development, and, often, early divorce. Divorced girls are legally seen as adults and are vulnerable to trafficking as a result their economic vulnerability. Apart from that, other factor is history of bonded labour. This is a practice of renting out one’s labour or that of a family member to pay off a loan is an accepted family survival strategy. People placed into bonded labour are especially vulnerable to abusive and slave-like work conditions.
