The diversity and widespread execution of human trafficking make it difficult to regulate and prosecute. In the international effort to prosecute human trafficking, several guidelines and definitions of human trafficking have been provided: 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 having control over another person, for the purposes of exploitation. Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others of other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs. (What Is Human Trafficking?) International authority figures use this definition to properly prosecute instances of human trafficking.

With gathered information, it is known that human trafficking is becoming the second most trafficked item in the world after drugs. Humans, that share the same flesh as you and I, have their souls kidnapped and their personalities stripped from them as they become the property of another that bleeds the same blood as us. Master minds behind the deceit of luring in victims often use many different or even combined tactics in order to hook their prey. Traffickers use physical and psychological methods in order to leave the victim with no choice but to fall into the traffickers trap. Some of these devious mechanisms include threatening the victim’s family, threatening the victim’s own life, taking away legal documents such as passports, and fake promises of a loving relationship, a better job, and new opportunities.

The unfortunate reality is that human trafficking includes sex, forced labor, slavery, servitude and forced organ donation. Third-world countries are not the only places that are affected by this horrid crime. Human trafficking is a definite problem in the United States because of it’s large number of prisoners and areas effected, along with the horrible effects it leaves upon it’s victims.
