hitting abuse is horrible and there is too much of it in today's society.

The parents knew that it was happening to Brian but neither of them did anything about it so Lori had to try and stop it herself which caused a fight. Another example was when Uncle Stanley tried to sexually abuse Jeanette but when she runs outside to tell her mother what happened all she says is “Did he hurt you?” and
Traffickers are known to tell the people who fall into their hands a high-paying job, a loving relationship, or even new opportunities. What ends up happening is that they are tricked into becoming part of an evil organization that uses physical and psychological violence to control them. Traffickers can work alone also or work as part of a powerful criminal network, with the idea of trafficking people for large sums of money that the victims don’t even really get to collect.
Human trafficking victims can be forced to do different things such as physical labor and prostitution. The things that usually are key to trafficking are that the victims are vulnerable to anything that involves a better life or involving moving into the U.S. The main reason is that they suffer from poverty; the victims want to help their family with money and are open to whatever way there is to get money. In addition, many in Mexico risk their lives to come to the U.S. hoping that they can find work. They go through parts of Mexico that are considered to have the most violence with drugs, cartels and trafficking are then most often caught by the cartels and have no other choice but to be a slave working to pay off their “debt” that they have to the cartels.

Most of the human trafficking in the world takes the form of forced labor, according to the International Labor Organization estimate on forced labor. Also known as involuntary worker, forced labor may result when employers take advantage...
Human trafficking is a worldwide issue affecting many individuals; the Department of States estimated that about 600,000 to 800,000 people are taken across borders each year and two to four millions of people being victimized within their own country (Siskin & Wyler, 2010). The majority of trafficking victims are forced into sexual exploitation, however many are also used for labor. Although there is a current US policy that addresses anti-trafficking legislation, the problem of victim identification still persists. The failure to adequately tackle this phenomenon, paired with a concern over human rights, has prompted debates over who is considered a victim. There needs to be a more effective way to eradicate the dangers of human trafficking.
Sexual traffickers often recruit children because not only are children more unsuspecting and vulnerable than adults, but there is also a high market demand for young victims. Traffickers target victims on the telephone, social media, through friends, at the mall, and in extracurricular programs. Many traffickers train these young women, such as raping them and forcing them to learn sexual acts. A 2003 study in the Netherlands found that, on average, a single sex slave earned her pimp at least $250,000 a year. Svitlana Batsyukova differentiates sex slavery from prostitution (2007) in that prostitutes typically interact in their trade at their own free will and are monetarily compensated.
Human trafficking, a form of modern day slavery, affects more people than you could imagine. The United States is known for freedom, human rights, and the pursuit of happiness; however, there are many victims of human trafficking that have been stripped of their rights and freedoms. The Victims of Trafficking andViolence Protection Act (VTVPA) of 2000 defines human trafficking as, the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery (Kotrola 8). Human trafficking is a devastating issue many Americans have problems addressing;

In today’s era of technological advancement and scientific discovery, man’s greed for power and fame has grown exponentially.

Females are targeted more than males due to their vulnerability, position as being lower than men, and the sexual preferences of society. Many cultures view woman as a possession used for sex and they do not have sexual rights to her own body. “Exploitative employers prefer to use trafficked women—traditionally seen as submissive, cheap, and pliable—for simple and repetitive tasks in agriculture, food processing, labor-intensive manufacturing, and domestic servitude” (US Department of State).
Physical violence is used by traffickers to control their victims. Commonly victims end up with broken bones, concussions, burns, and even possibly brain injuries. These victims often feel as if what has happened to them is their fault. The National Institute of Health states, “Human traffickers can use drugs as “bait” to recruit people who have a substance use disorder. Or they can use drugs to force a victim to obey their orders, or work harder or for longer hours.” (Human Trafficking). These traffickers using drugs to get these victims to do things opens up a whole new realm of possibilities. Psychologically these victims are abused, and will have to go through life everyday, living with what has been done to them. These traffickers have a greater effect on these victims lives than they will ever
