One could Object by giving moral examples using religion, families, other cultures to demote the passion for it and stop the ring by communicating and providing other options of money rather than selling people.
As a Citizen in the united states we as teens and adults are taught, if we see something strange or have suspicions, don’t get involved because you could rage the leader just get law enforcement involved and keep a close eye and follow. If everyone be aware of their surroundings and could stop less human trafficking victims be caught on the regular and improve safety and speak for those who cannot speak.
In Conclusion while the fight for the end of human trafficking continues, we as people of the united states have the ability to change and= make a difference for the young girls by recognizing the signs of abuse or mistreatment because, “behind a closed mouth, lies a story waiting to be told”.

STOP-IT (Salvation Army) STOP-IT is the Chicago chapter for Salvation Army, this program is fairly new which means no one has done a study. The UN Women’s Independent Evaluation Office conducted a study on a program called UN Women. Both programs, want to end human trafficking and want to help all victims. Their main emphasis is giving a safe home to live, therapy sessions, and giving food.
Human trafficking is the fastest growing crime in the entire world and is considered modern day slavery. Almost 80% of trafficking is through sexual exploitation, which means that it primarily affects women and girls (UNODC, 2009). Victims are often tricked into the business through promise of work or a better life and sometimes just randomly stolen right from their homes. However, this is not just an issue overseas. Michigan is listed as the state with the second highest rates of human trafficking.
In an article entitled “Tessa’s Story: Human Trafficking in America,” Venus Rodriguez tells the story of Tessa, a seven year old girl who was raped by her father and survived by viewing her body as not a part of herself. When she was a teenager, she was befriended by a guy named Jared who flattered her, bought her gifts, and made her feel special. She had no idea he was a pimp and that she would soon be on the street selling her body. Jared would withhold food if she did not meet her quota. Jared would drug her; he even convinced her that nobody would want her.
Trafficking can involve the sale of people, both legal and illegal labor markets or private catering. Human trafficking is a rapidly growing problem that affects many countries, either as origin, transit or destination countries. Trafficking is an activity which is characterized by high profit and low
Human trafficking produces billions of dollars in profit every year, it is right behind drug trafficking as the most lucrative form of crime throughout the world. (DHS website). Victims of human trafficking rarely come forward due to the threats of murder, threats of killing their loved ones/friends, as well as having nowhere else to go because they have been ostracized from their own family and their “pimp” is their family. Another issue of why victims do not come forward is that they are afraid of law enforcement so they may go to jail, etc. (DHS website)
INTRODUCTION Human trafficking is a form of modern day slavery. The connotation that one has of the word, “slavery”, is bleak and there is absolutely no positive connection to this word. Slavery has existed since time immemorial and its existence in the present day is still a thriving business. Slavery is defined as, “When one person completely controls another using violence or the threat of violence to maintain that control, exploits them economically and they cannot walk away”. Slavery though abolished in the 19th century, yet unfortunately it still exists in a modern-day form i.e., sexual exploitation, forced labour, bonded labour and organ trafficking.
Human trafficking generates billions on earning, with 2014 statistics reporting that “Human trafficking earn profits of roughly 150 billion a year for traffickers” . While
The author is also trying to plead his case to ignorant or citizens who have little to no knowledge of the human trafficking issue. The article, “Human Trafficking” provides an excellent
Human trafficking has grown to be a multi-billion-dollar enterprise affecting every country in the world. Katariina Rosenblatt’s recruitment happened similar to other helpless people following a simple stay with her family at a hotel in Miami Beach. This survivor advocate conveys her dark experiences into a positive outlet through a nonprofit organization essential for prosecutors to address a vital issue concerning trafficking responses. Treatment approaches does necessitate, “police and judges to look at the wider context and consider them victims of sex exploitation. [For instance,] South Florida is the third-busiest area for sex trafficking in the United States, the Department of Justice says” (Hauser & Mariano, 2013, para. 2).
What is human trafficking? Human trafficking is a crime that involves forcing someone to work against their will or to engage in commercial sex acts. There are victims and survivors. There is no single gender race, disability, or age, because they don't care what the age of the victim is, they will sex traffic anyone, especially minors. The most common age for child sex trafficking is 12.
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
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.

ABSTRACT Human trafficking is the trade of humans, most commonly for the purpose of slavery, forced labor, or commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker or others. This unjustified trade and exploitation of human beings in the 21st century reflects a sad state of affairs which confirms that the greatest ethical challenge facing the globe today is human trafficking. It portrays a contrasting picture of inequality among equals with regard to the right of every individual over his or her life, since trafficked victims are compelled to sell their inherent freedom. Their cry for help is drowned in the sea of constant oppression and general sense of apathy which has been continuing for centuries. Human trafficking can occur within a country
“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.
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.
