Proposal On Sex Trafficking

The booming business of "Spreading Love" or more commonly know as sex trafficking as swallowed the world with its so called love. This booming business has spread faster then a forest fire. The world as we know it is drowning in countless women and men being trafficked at this very moment. With all the other worlds problems this is just another to pile on top. Sex trafficking is a plague that has spread across the world. Today Human trafficking exists in every country, state, city, in out nation (USCIS). It is a multi national billion dollar business that is long lasting and unforgiving. This illegal and immoral form of exploitation chains 2.5 million people from 127 different countries a year worldwide, common ages of these victims are eighteen to twenty four years of age (Petriliggieri). According to the U.S. Government, in 2006 a research completed that more then 800,000 people were trafficked across national borders, but that does not even include the people trafficked in our own countries. Approximately eighty percent of the captives are women and girls who are forced in to prostitution and experience brutal sexual violence (Human Trafficking). A grand total of 44.3 billion dollars per year is made from this inhumane, heinous act of injustice on the common people (Human Trafficking).

The effects from this corrupt enterprise are undeniably painful and scaring. In common societies women are belittled and objectified excessively, it is hardly considered a conflict when unimaginable pain is inflicted upon them. The physical, emotional, and mental distortion and destruction, caused by violence last an eternity. The inane fear, agony of sha...

In conclusion, while the world is trying to band together to stop world crises, we are failing drastically. What we need is hope, with the money brought in from human trafficking hope can be gained. This proposal solves the problems of the world on an astronomical scale. There will be no such thing as unemployment if we take a stand and send this in motion. The sex trade opens many jobs, products, and consumers to pay for their services. This proposal is not for the personal gain for a human, but the bettering of our people, society, government, and to pimp our economical growth and state. A modest proposal for the good of the general public, foreign nations, and the neglected children of this world today.

    Between 2007 and 2010 there were around 118 countries and 136 different nationalities that fell victim to traffickers (united nations publications, 2012). If we want to continue successful globalization patterns, we need to crack down on punishment for those who commit these crimes. In his article “A Decade in Review…” Luis CdeBaca states that prevention, protection, and prosecution are the key to stopping this global trend (CdeBaca, 2008). All three need to be implemented together and will not work independently. Preventing trafficking begins with prosecution of criminals. But often, prosecution can’t occur without witness testimony. This makes protection of victims essential in ending human trafficking. This along with more government involvement in labor law enforcement, we can bring justice to more victims. Government can check more into checking labor recruiting companies and potentially making more restrictive visas that allow people to cross borders more easily (CdeBaca,

    If communities work towards this goal, they can brand trafficking as bad and they can work to end it together. Some governments still don’t have any laws that ban this evil and it is not good for people who suffer from it as it runs rampant in those countries. The places that need the government's help with this the most, have governments that are failing to protect them. The UN Chronicle says that the only way to end sexual trafficking and give these victims the closure they deserve is the “prosecution of traffickers and protection of victims”(UN Chronicles).

    It is not only the problem of one country but instead is problem for many different countries. According to Ngwe and Elechi, authors of, “Human Trafficking: The Modern Day Slavery of The 21st Century”, states that between one to four million people are smuggled over international borders annually (2012). Most of those that are trafficked are women and children but some believe that the trafficking of males is increasing due to the need of labor. A majority of those that are trafficked, are sent to wealthier countries and are used for labor, whether forced or domestic and sexual exploitation. Many world leaders believe that this type of crime is a major threat to the security of their nations as well as weakening their social, economic, and political developments within their

    “Human trafficking coerces and persuades their victims to cross national borders in search of new jobs and better opportunities and after that they are forced into some sort of labor bondage” (At Issue: Human Trafficking 1). Even though trafficking is a problem in almost every country; poorer countries have a bigger problem with it because they are more desperate for work. Just in 2000, the U.S. enacted their first federal anti-trafficking law, called the Victims of Trafficking Protection Act (At Issue: Human Trafficking 1). Trafficking has just begun to receive notice on how big of a problem it actually is. “Proponents of strict anti-trafficking initiatives say that laws and prevention against trafficking are necessary in order to stem the growing tide of large scale organized crime that profits off of smuggling and trafficking” (At Issue: Human Trafficking 1).

    In order to understand how sex trafficking affects its victims, one must first know the severity of sex trafficking and what it is. The issue of sex trafficking affects 2.5 million people at any given time (Abas et al., 2013). The form of sex slavery affects many women and children across the world. Even though both males and females are sexually trafficked and exploited, there is a deep emphasis on the sexual exploitation of women and children. This is due to gender discrimination (Miller, 2006). This is because women and children are more vulnerable and appeal to the larger populations of brothels and the so-called “clients” since the majority are men. Ecclestone (2013) stated that children as young as age three are trafficked. Sex trafficking has changed over time; “Today, the business of human sex trafficking is much more organized and violent. These women and young girls are sold to traffickers, locked up in rooms or brothels for weeks or months, drugged, terrorized, and raped repeatedly” (Walker-Rodriguez & Hill, 2011). It is found that many of the victims of sex trafficking are abducted, recruited, transported and forced into involuntary “sex work”. These sexual acts include prostitution, exotic dancing, pornography, and sexual escort services (McClain & Garrity, 2011). What happens to these sex trafficking victims is extremely traumatizing.

Although certain countries and international organizations are putting in effort, for public awareness and are trying to stop human trafficking from progressing, a lot more can and needs to be done. Strict international laws and tougher sentences for these offences need to be put in place, with harsher punishments for individuals and groups who violate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. According to estimates, human trafficking is the fastest-growing area of organized crime (United Nations, 2002). It continues to be overlooked by international authorities to this date and international organizations need to step up and handle this issue before it continues to rapidly grow.

    Sex trafficking is essentially systemic rape for profit. Force, fraud and coercion are used to control the victim’s behavior which may secure the appearance of consent to please the buyer (or john). Behind every transaction is violence or the threat of violence (Axtell par. 4). Just a decade ago, only a third of the countries studied by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime had legislation against human trafficking. (Darker Side, par.1) Women, children, and even men are taken from their homes, and off of the streets and are brought into a life that is almost impossible to get out of. This life is not one of choice, it is in most times by force. UNODC estimates that the total international human trafficking is a $32-billion-per-year business, and that 79% of this activity comprises sexual exploitation. As many as 2 million children a year are victims of commercial sexual exploitation, according the the U.S. State Department.-- Cynthia G. Wagner. (Darker Side, par. 4) The words prostitute, pimp, escort, and stripper tend to be way too common in the American everyday vocabulary. People use these words in a joking manner, but sex trafficking is far from a joke. Everyday, from all different countries, people are bought and sold either by force or false promises. Some are kidnapped and others come to America with dreams of a dream life and job. The buyers involved in the trade will do anything to purchase an innocent life just to sell for their own selfish profit. Many people wouldn’t think of a human body to be something you can buy in the back room of a business or even online. But those plus the streets are where people are sold most often. There are many reasons and causes for sex trafficking. The factors behind sex traffic...

    According to Karin Lehnardt from Fact Retriever, in “five years or less, it has been predicted that human trafficking will surpass the drug trade”. As indicated on hopeforjustice.org, human trafficking is “the illegal movement of people, typically for the purpose of forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation.” If one was to know how large the drug trade is, you would understand how devastating this statistic is. “Human trafficking has become a modern form of slavery”, quoted from the Polaris website. People around the globe consider this trade because it is a multi-billion industry for criminals that reject the independence of about 20.9 billion people.

    One reason why human trafficking is a serious crime that many people are unaware of is because it secretly takes place in the United States. Between 2007 and 2012, there were reports of 9,298 different cases of human trafficking (Polaris Project). An example of how unknown this topic is is that 41% of sex trafficking cases and 20% of labor trafficking cases were proven to have United States citizens as victims (Polaris Project). And this is only what we know so far. There are thousands of cases that we don’t know about. Many people also don’t know that men, women, and even children are also taken hostage by human traffickers. An example of this would be that out of those 9,298 cases that were reported, women were victims of sex trafficking in 85% of those cases. Men were victims of labor trafficking in 40% of those cases (Polaris Project). Approximately 300,000 children are at risk of being prostituted in the United States (U.S. Department of Justice). Children are even more under the radar than we know about. On average, one in three teenagers on the street will be lured toward prostitution within 48 hours of leaving their home (National Runaway Hotline). For example, two female friends who were minors ran away from home and were prom...
