The Proposal
• I Introduction
• Attention getter (hook) – A modern-day incarnation of slavery in the United States is human trafficking.
• Define terms – Victims of human trafficking frequently experience physical and psychological torture, rape, threats against themselves and their families, passport theft, and even death.
• Tensioned Thesis – With more knowledge of the problem, the government can put a stop to it in the United States.
• Transitional sentence: The fact that so many people are helpless to exploitation is not the only reason why there is human trafficking. Instead, the need for low-cost labor, services, and commercial sex is what drives human trafficking.

Human trafficking poses a multifaceted concern since it denies individuals their human rights and freedoms, puts the world's health at risk, and encourages the expansion of organized crime.
Who? Everyone can become a victim of human trafficking, regardless of their racial background, national origin, disability, religion, age, gender, sexual preference, or citizenship status.
Where? The state of California, Texas, Florida, and New York are the most sought-after locations for human trafficking because of its robust economy and substantial immigrant population. Furthermore, in other states, human trafficking is expanding quickly. People of poverty, the homeless, runaway children, persons with mental illnesses, populations of immigrants and undocumented workers, people from minority groups, and those with low socioeconomic standing are some of the vulnerable people in the United States and other countries.
What? The second-most lucrative criminal activity in the United States today is human trafficking. The illegal human trafficking market is worth billions of dollars worldwide.
Most studies on human trafficking in the media contend that it has primarily been portrayed as a criminal issue. Although the United States first encountered human trafficking as a human rights issue, the TVPA's passage ushered in the criminal justice framing in the

If you consider the sheer number of victims, you could disagree.

II. Body Paragraph 2 (100)
Topic Sentence – Over the past ten years there has been a growing understanding of the necessity of an efficient, globally coordinated response in stopping human trafficking.
When? No nation has yet been able to assert that it has had meaningful, in-depth experience dealing with trafficking as a criminal phenomenon. The majority are creating and modifying their solutions while they are on the go, frequently while facing intense political pressure, and primarily through trial and error.
How? Possessing federal legislation that protects victims of trafficking and prosecutes offenders harshly within the United States is how the 2000 Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act affected society. The federal and state governments are attempting to put an end to this horrifying and terrible epidemic, but if we are to properly safeguard children, parents MUST be involved.
Gloss over: “Why are you telling me this” Only by involving the federal, state, and local governments can human trafficking be stopped.

Human trafficking is an issue that impacts virtually every nation. As the number of reported incidents of sex trafficking rises in Tennessee, something
Travis T Alston Jr. Professor Mr. Joshua N. James English 111 8 June 2015 Bridgette Carr Comments on Trafficking Victims Protection Act: A Rhetorical Analysis Bridgette Carr composed the Article “Trafficking Victims Protection Act needs to be more supportive of child victims”. As a clinical assistant professor and director of human trafficking clinic at the University of Michigan Law School she has done much research on this topic. Her article deals with how the government officials, such as U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security, and other government agencies that are responsible for the trafficking of child victims. Professor Carr argues that there should be better ways to avoid the way that child trafficking victims are treated when caught in a sting operation. She does this by explaining
This book discusses the flaws that America has when talking about human trafficking, as well as the shortcomings within the Justice System regarding procedures, policies, and prosecution, and outcomes for human trafficking victims. The book opens with stating the amount of money made within human trafficking and then continues to add on from this topic about the amount of people being trafficked. These two factors then let the author continue to discuss the errors and inequities within the Justice System as well as the overall lack of intervention and support to help people who are being trafficked.
Depending on the population in the industrial, urban and agricultural areas, depends on the type of human trafficking there most likely is. For instance, according to (Copple, 2023), labor trafficking is most generally an agricultural and industrial issue, while sex trafficking is predominant in urban areas. Being able to identify the more prone areas that have the propensity for human trafficking, will help with identifying these inconsistencies that occur when identifying victims of human
There will be no solution to the growing problem of human trafficking until more people are aware of how human trafficking takes place, until states begin to deter human trafficking more effectively, and until more individuals take an active role in reporting possible acts of trafficking to the proper authorities. Therefore human trafficking cannot be defined as any one particular crime; it is not simply sexual exploitation. Other forms of human trafficking are labor trafficking, slavery and in some cases human trafficking consist of the removal of organs. It is much more than that because human trafficking has many different characteristics. In the article "Hidden in Plain Sight: Human Trafficking in the United States,” Hepburn and Simon state that “. . .
In the United States, human trafficking has taken on different forms than what is normally thought of as human trafficking. It can range from a migrant laborer wanting to get a job to be able to support his family to survive who is then forced into manipulative work to a child running away to get away from abuse that is happening at home and the person that is helping the child get away from the abusive situation at home turns out to be exploiting him or her to make a profit (Farrell et al, 2014). According the International Labour Organization has estimated that 20.9 million people are involved in human trafficking in the whole world, with 1.5 million victims are in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe. In 2011, there were 3,969 convictions worldwide, and there were only 151 convictions in the United States.
Even if we instinctively struggle to admit its existence, we cannot turn our backs to those victims of trafficking. Governments do not talk about it and society doesn’t see. That’s where the media comes in. Human trafficking has become more visible by the help of the media. The media shows everything about this clandestine crime, that are hidden from view.
Human trafficking can affect any person, anywhere at any time, yet leaves multiple groups at higher risk for human trafficking. Runaway/homeless youth, LGBT members, migrant workers, undocumented immigrants, racial/ethnic minorities, those who struggle with substance abuse, and others all tend to be at higher risk for becoming victims of human trafficking. In order for human trafficking to be classified as a crime it must fit the three elements of human trafficking. These three elements fall under Act, Means, and Purpose. Act explains what is happening, in this stage people are recruited, taken, possibly moved to another location, and received by other traffickers or those who wish to exploit them.
Money Laundering and Human Trafficking: A Literature Review Introduction Human trafficking is a complex problem with devastating social, economic, and psychological consequences. Its exacerbation by different funding sources is a critical global challenge, and money laundering paves the way for its success by enabling criminals to conceal the illegal proceeds from law enforcement agencies. This literature review aims to explore the critical role of money laundering in human trafficking and recommend strategies to disrupt the financial networks supporting this crime.
Human trafficking is a scourge that has plighted society since the early days of civilization. In our modern world, the amount of people unaffected by the abuse of traffickers, whether direct or indirect, is near zero. There are numerous problems following our current state of affairs, including Public health issues, massive child labor issues, and millions of missing persons. There are, however, those seeking improvements to our current system, pushing judicial revision, new law enforcement initiatives, and better education for those in danger of being trafficked.
Human trafficking, or trafficking in persons (TIP) or modern day slavery, is a heinous and widespread crime occurring around the world in nearly every society. Most people often thought slavery was part of the past; however, human slavery is part of our current society and has been an on-going issue around the world. Human trafficking is a type of slavery that involves forced or bonded labour, sexual servitude, child labour, or involuntary servitude all over the world. It is important to note that sex trafficking contributes to more than half of human trafficking and most of these victims are women and young girls. This modern day slavery can happen to anyone, anywhere, and at anytime (Ton, 2012).This literature review of documents and reports
All around the world human trafficking exists and there needs to be a stop to it. Human Trafficking is a national problem because current laws are ineffective and therefore action needs to be taken to reduce the problem. Human Trafficking became our modern day slavery. Victims being forced into labor, being drug camels, and solicitation. Slavery has brought sadness to the world and yet aren’t realizing that the people being trafficked are becoming slaves.
We are living in a world where one person has an absolute power over another. The groundless trade of human beings in today’s world shows a deteriorated state of affairs which confirms that the greatest moral challenge facing the globe today is human trafficking. It refers to illegal sale or trade of people for sexual abuse or forced labor through coercion or abducting people. Our world is facing from many obstacles created by natural and manmade disasters which further results in problems in every country’s economy and social welfare of every person is jeopardized and one of the problems faced by majority of the nations of this world due to economic downfall is human trafficking. It is one of the most atrocious human rights infringements commonly
“The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil but by those who watch them without doing anything”-Albert Einstein Human Trafficking is the trade of humans for the purpose of sexual slavery, forced labour, organs removal, commercial sex exploitation and economic exploitation. Normally, trafficking is done by threat, compulsion, abduction, fraud, misleading, abuse of power, vulnerability, giving payments or benefits to a person in control of the victim .Trafficking in person is a serious crime and dignified violation of human rights . 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.
Our society has many troubles these days but lots of them go without notice or overlooked as less important. One of the most profitable businesses in the world is human trafficking, with a multi-billion dollar profit. People are trafficked for different reasons such as; use for their businesses, labor, and sex. Sadly, this has gone on for so long and it looks like there are no plans of stopping because it's easy to slide this illegal crime under the radar.
