Every day, a child is born somewhere in the world, which means that new family is made. The idea of family involves bringing together a group of people who love each other very much, will do anything for each other, and be with them through the good and bad times. The right to choose to stay with one’s family without anyone else’s permission in the present day is not always the same as it has been. Over time, it has changed drastically. So, when families become deprived of their freedom of choice to stay with their family because of the harsh realities of their dictators, problems arise.
Stalking Is Different Than Monitoring In “The Undercover Parent”, by Harlan Coben he argues that parents have a right to monitor their children, by putting spyware on their computers or other devices, making it possible to see what they spend their time doing and to whom they spend their time talking.

While online, people can definitely change.

THE IMPACT OF TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS Human trafficking today is a global phenomenon, affecting men, women and children in over 130 countries of the world. Trafficking is a crime against individuals. As such, the consequences are most directly felt by trafficked persons.

Injustice violence and inequality becomes the law. Women are not treated equally. Men treat women like trash or just like a doll or a servant. Men think that women are useful only to bear children, cook and clean. Men are treated as more important than women.
This is something that concerns every girl and women around regions, nations, and countries. In Mexico, excessive murders, disappearance, and rape have been tremendous problems for ten years and still going (The Facts: Gender Inequality and Violence Against Women and Girls Around the World, Paragraph 5). In South Asia, dowry death murders thousands of women each year, and honor killings continue to rise drastically in many Mediterranean and Gulf countries (The Facts: Gender Inequality and Violence Against Women and Girls Around the World, Paragraph 8). Honor killings caused 500 women to die each year, 47% were raped then killed, and around 400 were beaten and/or tortured (The Facts: Gender Inequality and Violence Against Women and Girls Around the World, Paragraph 9-11). This is also reasons why physical and sexual abuse among females is increasing by the second all around the world.
