Outline
Why does Human Trafficking occurs more now during the 21st century?
I think since a lot of families have built up a lot of debt and get caught up in the crossfire with
many terrorists and get taken or lured into a big trap.
Thesis Statement: Many females and also children get trapped in this process called Human
Trafficking and become captured from their families and loved ones. Human Trafficking is just
gruel and disgusting and it just feels like history repeating going into a horrible past.
Human Trafficking victims do experience high levels of Trauma, which can have a profound
negative impact on their ability to function, their behavior and their identity. We need to
encourage Law enforcement and service providers to consider ways to engage with each
potential victim while build trust and increase their bond. They are trapped in lives of misery
often beaten, starved, and forced to work as prostitutes or to take grueling jobs as migrant,
domestic, restaurant, or factory workers with little or no pay. These folks need to work hard to
stop human trafficking not only because of the personal and psychological toll it takes on these
societies. It facilitates the illegal movement of immigrants across borders and provides a ready
source of income for organized crime groups and even terrorists.
The trafficking scheme:
a. Human traffickers often create transnational routes for transporting migrants who are driven
by unfavorable living conditions to seek the services of a smuggler.
b. Human trafficking usually starts in origin countriesnamely, Southeast Asia, eastern Europe,
and sub-Saharan Africawhere recruiters seek migrants through various mediums such as the
Internet, employment agencies, the media, and local contacts.
c. Middlemen who recruit from within the origin country commonly share the cultural
background of those migrating. Migrants view the services of a smuggler as an opportunity to
move from impoverished conditions in their home countries to more stable, developed
environments.
Types of exploitation:

Fulford 1

a. Forced labor has likely been around since shortly after the dawn of humankind, though there
are a number of different forms of modern involuntary servitude that can go easily unnoticed by
the general public.
b. Debt bondage, is the enslavement of people for unpaid debts and is one of the most common
forms of forced labor. Contract slavery uses false or deceptive contracts to justify or explain
forced slavery.
c. In the United States the majority of non-sex laborers are forced into domestic service,
followed by agriculture, sweatshops, and restaurant and hotel work.
Prevention and control of human trafficking:
a. Trafficking is a transnational crime that requires international cooperation, and the United
States has taken a lead in promoting intercontinental cooperation. The TVPA provides assistance
to foreign governments in facilitating the drafting of anti-trafficking laws, the strengthening of
investigations, and the prosecuting of offenders.
b. Countries of origin, transit, and destination of trafficking victims are encouraged to adopt
minimal antitrafficking standards. These minimal standards consist of prohibiting severe forms
of trafficking, prescribing sanctions proportionate to the act, and making a concerted effort to
combat organized trafficking.
c. Foreign governments are to make a sustained effort to cooperate with the international
community, assist in the prosecution of traffickers, and protect victims of trafficking. If
governments fail to meet the minimum standards or fail to make strides to do so, the United
States may cease financial assistance beyond humanitarian and trade-related aid.
Legal response:
a. Many governmental entities throughout the world are actively engaged in the attempt to stop
or slow the activity of trafficking in humans. In 2000 the UN established a plan to Prevent,
Suppress, and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, who provided a
working definition of human trafficking and called upon countries to make laws aware to combat
the practice, to assist victims, and to promote coordination and cooperation between countries.
b. The first step to stopping this problem was to convince multiple stakeholders that human
trafficking was a problem warranting government intervention. As anti-trafficking rhetoric
gained momentum, efforts to address human trafficking crossed ideological and political lines.
c. The Office of Drugs and Crime is the UN arm that monitors and implements policies
concerning human trafficking and is the designer of the Global Program Against Trafficking in
Human Beings. Another important international agency with responsibility in this area, whose
aims are to provide assistance to all national criminal justice agencies and to raise awareness of
the issue.

Horrible Trafficking
Why does Human Trafficking occurs more now during the 21st
century? I think since families have built up a lot of debt and get caught
up in the crossfire with many terrorists and get taken or lured into a big
trap. A lot of females and also children get trapped in this process called
Human Trafficking and become captured from their families and loved
ones. Human Trafficking is just gruel and disgusting and it just feels like
history repeating going into a horrible past.

Human Trafficking victims do experience high levels of Trauma,

which can have a negative impact on their ability to function, their
behavior and their identity. It is Stupid We need to encourage the Law
and service providers to consider ways to engage with each potential
victim while build trust and increase their bond. Their minds is trapped
in lives of misery often beaten, starved, and forced to work as prostitutes
or to take grueling jobs as migrant, domestic, restaurant, or factory
workers with little or no pay. These folks need to work hard to stop
human trafficking not only because of the personal and psychological
toll it takes on these societies.
The illegal movement of immigrants across borders and a ready
source of income for organized crime groups and even terrorists. Where
the crossborder transfer of data allows for management between
destination and source countries, data collected through the core variable
approach cannot always be against duplicative entries. At the same time,
it is very important to continue to have a figure on the counts of
assistance as this is more reflective of funding that is needed for
assistance and protection to victims of trafficking.
Human traffickers often create transnational routes for transporting
migrants who are driven by humiliating living conditions to seek the
services of a smuggler. Human trafficking usually starts in countries like
Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and sub-Saharan Africa where recruiters
seek migrants through various mediums such as the Internet,
employment agencies, the media, and local contacts. Middlemen who
recruit from within the origin country commonly share the cultural
background of those migrating. Migrants view the services of a
smuggler as an opportunity to move from conditions in their home
countries to more stable environments. Forced labor has likely been

The enslavement of people for unpaid debts and is one of the most
common forms of forced labor is really debt bondage. Contract slavery
uses false or deceptive contracts to justify or explain forced slavery. In
the United States the majority of non-sex laborers are forced into
domestic service, followed by agriculture, sweatshops, and restaurant
and hotel work.
Trafficking is a crime that requires international cooperation, and
the United States has taken a lead in getting intercontinental cooperation.
The Trafficking Victims Protection Act provides assistance to foreign
governments in facilitating the drafting of anti-trafficking laws, the
strengthening of investigations, and the prosecuting of offenders.
Countries that transit, and destination of trafficking victims are
encouraged to adopt minimal anti-trafficking standards. These minimal
standards consist of prohibiting severe forms of trafficking, prescribing
sanctions proportionate to the act, and making a concerted effort to
combat organized trafficking.
Foreign governments are to make a sustained effort to cooperate
with the international community, assist in the prosecution of traffickers,
and protect victims of trafficking. If governments fail to meet the
minimum standards or fail to make strides to do so, the United States
may have financial assistance beyond humanitarian and trade-related
aid.
Many governmental entities throughout the world are actively
engaged in the attempt to stop or slow the activity of trafficking in
humans. In 2000, the United Nations brought upon a plan to Prevent,
Suppress, and Punish Trafficking. Women and Children, who provided a
working definition of human trafficking and called upon countries to
make laws aware to the practice, to assist victims, and to promote
cooperation between countries. The first step to stopping this problem
was to convince multiple stakeholders that human trafficking was a
problem needing warrants for government intervention. As anti-

Fulford 1

trafficking gained momentum, efforts to address human trafficking

crossed political lines.
The Office of Drugs and Crime is the UN arm that monitors
policies concerning human trafficking and is the promoter of the Global
Program against Trafficking for Human Beings. Many trafficking
victims is lured in by a boyfriend or so called friend. Victims is not
normally forced into human trafficking but are rather manipulated.
Pimps prey on people who are young and vulnerable. Victims are often
times runaways or drug addicts, as documented by many investigators in
this field.
Most times it do not be by force, it be by fraud relationship
building. Not all victims are from foreign nations, but they are here in
the United States too. They should be bringing on non-profit advocates
so that service providers can try to help these victims get out of their
situation and better themselves. The biggest issue is trying to get the
victims to trust the police. The Law is becoming aware, training on what
human trafficking looks like, and understanding the trauma involved.
These trafficking crimes are seriously punishable up to 25 years in
person.
