HUMAN TRAFFICKING

ABSTRACT
What is human trafficking? Well, it’s the act of forcing, coercing or involving
persons at provide labor or engage in sexual acts. The trafficker has the intent of
exploiting the personnel for personal gain, mostly for money. The most popular
methods are sexual and labor trafficking.

It can occur as sex slavery, forced labor and even organ removal both
nationally and trans-nationally. The coercing can be subtle, but even overt, both
physically and mentally. Exploitation of a minor for commercial sex is human
trafficking, regardless what form of coercing is used.

Victims of human trafficking can be anyone—regardless of race, color,

national origin, disability, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity, socioeconomic status, education level, or citizenship status. However,
traffickers often prey upon individuals whose vulnerabilities are exacerbated by
factors such as poverty, limited English proficiency, or lack of lawful immigration
status.

It’s a global problem affecting people of all ages and is estimated that
approximately 1,000,000 people are trafficked each year globally. It’s a form of
modern-day slavery involving the illegal transport of individuals by force or
deception for the purpose of labor, sexual exploitation, or activities in which
others benefit financially.

The most serious type of trafficking occurs in the sex industry. Sex slavery
by definition is the ownership of a human by another, who is forced to work in
the sex slavery. Activities associated with sex slavery include prostitution,
pornography, child sex rings, sex tourism, and such occupations as nude dancing
and modeling. This is considered sexual trafficking since it is an act of transporting
and exploiting individuals by a trafficker for commercial activity to gain benefits
(in this case, profits from sex trade).
 Labor trafficking occurs when employers transport and force them to satisfy
the trafficker’s intentions. Many employers transport migrant employees seeking
jobs to the US promising better lives, but most migrant workers end up forced
labor, denied of wages and threatened with deportation. The most victimized jobs
that face trafficking are low-profiles jobs like nannying and housekeeping for
wealthy families.
