“Noy Thrupkaew: Human Trafficking is all Around You: This is how it Works” and “Slavery in the fields” both have a common theme. Both of these stories make the claim that human trafficking is widespread across a spectrum of industries and that consumers are fueling the problem. However, this subject is far more complicated than one can see. The first piece brings attention to the gruesome circumstances of human trafficking victims. The second piece is very loose in what it interprets as human trafficking.
Trafficking is always characterized by elements of exploitation through fraud, coercion and other illegal means. Human trafficking is a difficult to understand and complicated issue. It is not confined to a particular country or region but it has spread its roots more intensely in the third world countries especially in the subcontinent. However, if we talk about its connection in Pakistan it is quite distressingly connected with our society. In terms of definition, Human trafficking is modern-day slavery and involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act.
Human trafficking can also be applied into prostitution as there are accounts of human trafficking done in order to supply the
Industries that demand cheap labour, such as agriculture, fisheries, manufacturing and construction, encourage migration of unskilled workers. In the absence of standards to protect their human rights, migrants become particularly vulnerable to
The decriminalization of sex work alone may work for some countries, but in a country that has a heavily patriarchal culture the notion of protection of the sex workers becomes more important. There needs to be a solution that takes into consideration the problems that the sex worker faces such as the problems of causation into the entry of this profession as well as the problems faced due to castes, unemployment in other professions, poverty, enforcement into this profession, the problems of child prostitution are all problems that altogether make this situation different from
As the upper castes enjoyed a certain degree of influence and respectability in the society, the lower castes not being the owner of such powers and privileges, were subject to victimization on account of their vulnerability. As a result of this, the people undergo economic deprivation and status frustration. This victimization alienates them from the main stream society and in order to be de-victimized and be free from this vicious cycle, they get drawn into illegitimate opportunity structure. In the process of seeking
the stigma of human can occur in many ways. For example, survivors of human trafficking may be blamed for their victimization, such as if they choose to join prostitution. They may face discrimination in trying to find housing or job. They often get discretized of having no control over their lives. Survivors often get embarrassment as a result of being victims of human trafficking that cause them to sporadic from

Most of people nowadays do not know that human slavery still exists; after it was abolished 150 years ago, its proven when there is an auction of young women intended for sexual slavery occurred publicly in Britain highly policed location and another auction even took place in front of a café at Greenwich Airport, Britain (News by BBC UK, 4 June 2006, 14.31 GMT). These crimes have been booming and become a global phenomenon when victims from at least 153 countries were detected in 124 countries worldwide between 2010 and 2012.
Many of the victims not only have been trafficked, but also exploited in horrendous ways. Despite all the attention and coverage given to this issue, the numbers of trafficking victims are not getting any lesser. Human trafficking appears in various forms, for instance forced labour, sex trafficking, debt bondage, domestic servitude, forced child labor and unlawful recruitment. Many are deceived and treated as slaves. Human trafficking however, as refers to United Nations Office of Drug and Crime (UNODC) Article 3, paragraph (a) of the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons defines “Trafficking in Persons as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person
HUMAN TRAFFICKING Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery involving the illegal trade of people for exploitation or commercial gain. It is a hidden crime as victims rarely come forward to seek help because of barriers, fear of the traffickers, and fear of law enforcement. This is because of it is the most heinous crime that is being committed. There are a lot of cases of human trafficking in Malaysia. Malaysia borders the Straits Malacca and that is a gateway for criminal activity.

The relocation of a human can cause an extreme amount of anxiety for the migrant as well as the trafficker. There are multiple people that assist in the trafficking of individuals who have specific concentrations: investors fund majority of the operation, organizers oversee the entire operation, recruiters seek potential migrants, transporters assist migrants on land, air, or sea, corrupt public officials negotiate how to get migrants in and out illegally, guide and crew members get the migrant from one location to the next, enforcing ensure that everyone is doing their job, local assistance
Maybe it is because there are many risks involved with it. Some people worry that some jobs will not have enough people to work them. However, illegal immigrants should be deported for entering the country illegally, because the government can not afford their costs, this encourages more illegal immigrants to come, and this causes more poverty. First of all, the
It occurs for three reasons prostitution, forced labor, and human organs. The majority of the victims of human trafficking are immigrants because traffickers use immigrant’s workers unfamiliarity with the language, laws and customs to manipulate them. From Algeria to New York City we can see similarities in the way involuntary servitude works. If we come together we can decrease human trafficking, and spread awareness about anti-trafficking programs that would help the world. Its our duty as citizens to acknowledge the problems that are affecting our society.

Victims, mostly females are lured into a job interview, or a promising relationship with a man, and then sold off into sex slavery. The victim is often held captive and unable to have any freedom or say in what they do; it is modern day slavery. One of the main reasons this happens is because prostitution is illegal virtually everywhere in the U.S, and crooks and corrupt minded people see the money opportunity available with prostitution, however, it must be done in an illegal way. Sex slavery and human trafficking would be significantly reduced if prostitution was legal, it would not be completely obliterated, however it would not be as common. Prostitution itself being legal, would bring in billions of dollars itself, so the corrupt people who pay for the trafficking, would start to lose business everywhere because legal brothels would be making so much
