Human Trafficking: Solutions Human Trafficking is a transnational problem. All countries are affected by human trafficking; some countries are where the humans are taken from while other countries are where the humans are taken to for forced labor or sex. No one has a full proof solution to human trafficking but many countries have parts of solutions to the problem. Germany and the Netherlands have legalized prostitution to help lower the sex trafficking numbers in their countries. While in the United States, in Nevada, prostitution has been legal since 1971. In 2013, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws wrote the "Uniform Act on Prevention of and Remedies for Human Trafficking", to help states have a consistent basis for understanding and punishment of human trafficking victims and crimes (National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State, 2013). Other unused solutions could be full legalization of prostitution in the US and worldwide, having closed borders from state to state and country to country, and finally micro chipping the offenders of human trafficking. The first proposed solution is the legalization of prostitution. The Netherlands and Germany legalized prostitution two years from each other. The Netherlands hope that legalizing prostitution would lower the human trafficking in their country by making the more acceptable forms of prostitution legal, "they could separate the acceptable from the exploitative and illegal forms of prostitution", (Vanderstok, 2012). For the same above reasons Germany did the same thing with the same hopes as the Netherlands. Though now there is a ratio of 1:1 of legal prostitutes to illegal prostitutes in both countries (Spiegel, 2013). The legalization of prostitution has not been the answer to human trafficking in Europe. In the US, Nevada is the only state to have legal prostitution,
