Many other implications could be useful to stop the spread of sex trafficking and to convict more traffickers. I think a multistep program can help many people who are victims of sex trafficking. Instead of giving young people a record for prostitution, allow them to be informants for sting operations. It is easier to penetrate and underground organization, if the person is already known. Since the young person might be in danger after they testify in court, they qualify to relocate in protective custody. This gives the young person to start a new life, and leave the horrors of the sex industry behind them. As a result, of many psychological issues that come from the sex industry, young people will be offered counseling. Victims will also
On decemeber 18, 1865 slavery was abolished by Abraham Lincholn why has it become so easy for women and children to have their rights taken away from them? Many can argue that slavery doesnt exist in our society today, yet women all over suffer from slavery as they are taken and forced into the sex trafficking business. If slavery were truely abolished why is it so easy for women and children to become worthless and traded for a few dollars?
Nothing drives emotions out the window more than hearing about innocent children being used for sex. In Cambodia, sex trafficking has grown into a troublesome issue. Sex trafficking has become one of the fastest growing crimes occurring internationally. It is the third largest crime-business in the world, after drugs and arms trafficking. Women, girls, and even men and boys are victims of the billion-dollar sex trafficking industry. Sex trafficking occurs everywhere, and it is not culturally specific, but a gender specific issue. There are numerous cases of sex trafficking within Cambodia, however child sex trafficking is extremely captivating and distressing to learn about.
It would change how cases are handled by ruling out crimes such as prostitution as evidence if the conduct can be proven that it was forced during the human trafficking of the victim. Currently, women charged with prostitution cannot be treated as victims of sex trafficking. This Catch-22 prevents the prosecution of the people who force victims into prostitution in the first place. The bill would also make the evidence of sexual conduct of the victim to attack the victim’s credibility or character unacceptable in court. Lastly, the measure would disallow certain defenses in court that have to do with minors such as stating you did not know that the victim was under the age of eighteen.
The history of trafficking goes back much further than one would think. Donna Hughes explains in her article Combating Sex trafficking a history that trafficking really started in England as early as 1875. Even though this article suggests that human trafficking started as early as 1875, we have learned in class from the Sugar changed the world: a story of magic, spice, slavery, freedom, and science that it goes way further back than that. This movement in 1875 only affected women at the time. This is where the term prostitute was initially coined. Before World War I, the act of trafficking white slaves saw its first law called the international convention for suppression of the white slave traffic. It wasn’t until after World War II that
The US State Department classifies China as a source, transit, and destination country for sex trafficking . Human trafficking of women and children for sexual exploitation is the second largest form of organized crime in Asia. China is a common thread in many of the complex trafficking networks working in Asia. The Human Trafficking Organization reports, China transits victims from all over the world to Thailand and Malaysia. In addition to transiting, China is a popular destination country, importing women throughout the region from Burma, Vietnam, Laos, Mongolia, Russia, and North Korea . Analyzing the attitude, culture, and opinion shifts through Chinese media will shed further light on the human trafficking phenomenon and look at the regional impact, due to China’s extensive involvement in sex trafficking.

There have been enormous questions on the effects that globalization has had on sex trafficking. Some have argued that globalization is characterized with the global efforts, funding and regional legislation that undermine the spread of the sex trading. However, the increased liberalization and other factors such as the presence of the internet have heavily favored sex trade globally and especially in the United States of America (U.S.A). The United States has been a destination for the many immigrants from third world countries and others that have been encroached with wars and terrorist activities. According to the National Human Trafficking (2017), 4460 cases of the trafficking were recorded in the U.S.A of which 3186 cases reported were linked to sex trafficking. In 2016, the reported human trafficking cases tremendously increased in 7621, and the sex trafficking cases reported also increased to 5593. The reported sex trafficking cases were 4183, 3593, 3380, 2382 in 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 respectively (National Human Trafficking, 2017, 1). From the cases recorded by the National Human Trafficking Hotline, it is evident that globalization has created a favorable environment for the sex and the human trafficking. The economic, political and legal environment created by the globalization favors the spread of sex trade in the United States of America.
Human sex trafficking is an epidemic that has been continuously growing by the minute worldwide. And is the most common form of modern day slavery; slavery today and 200 years ago share the same notion. Around the world there are 12.3 million people being sold into the human sex trafficking industry(caeact.org). It mainly deals with women along with some men and young teens, typically young girls, who are around the age of 16 being used essentially as prostitutes and being sold to random people on the black market worldwide. This problem has grown tremendously over the years because it’s hard to catch those who are in charge of this business in the act especially when the business keeps getting bigger by the second. The policy problem with this policy issue is no one knows exactly who is a victim of human sex trafficking so it’s hard for authorities to spot him or her. Although there are programs that help authorities identify such victims the fact of the matter is those who are at the head of this ring are often more than one step ahead of everyone else.
Whilst numerous reports suggest a decline in sex trafficking of women and children in Cambodia, Cambodia still remains one of the largest destinations of sex tourism. Many methods have been implemented on both a national and community level in order to combat this criminal activity across the country; however none have been sufficient enough to entirely eradicate sex trafficking of persons in Cambodia. Thus a number of recommendations to combat these human rights violations have been listed, as follows:
In order to help young women all over the world get the tools they need to get an education they need help from already developed countries. Devolved countries can make organizations to go educate these children in order for them to be more educated so they can provide for themselves (A life Wasted).
The undergoing issue of sex trade and sex trafficking is going on and affecting underage girls selling their virginity's, sexual abuse and drug use is going on. As it is 2015 this is unacceptable and shouldn't’t be going on in third world countries nor first world countries like the USA and Canada where this is happening.
How is it that equality is constant, but unreachable? Why is it that safety is comfort, but it’s constantly changing? Throughout all walks of life, there still resides the issue of human trafficking. Sex trafficking doesn’t just impact the victim; it is an issue that deprives everyone effected of their humanity. Beyond their rights being taken away, victims still remain dubious and vulnerable. Insecurities suddenly become evidence against victims in their own court cases; even after finding a way to liberate themselves, they are still blamed. Male or female, adult or child, is it really all their fault for falling into the arms of deceitful trafficking rings?
The sex industry is rather large in Hungary and the majority of prostitutes who are called “sex workers” willingly participate in their act. There are many reasons why they choose this “occupation”. With the recent economic downturn numerous people were left without a job, and they need to act to survive. Most of these people decide to work as a prostitute, because the poverty level is high, they don't have opportunities to train for new jobs or their educational level is low to reach another level or society. The absolute majority strongly believe that their activity is merely a source
After watching this movie, I have realized the necessity of responding to Sex trafficking. Lakshmis childhood has been taken from her for the better of the family. A 13 year old girl working as a prostitute is something no one should ever have to endure no matter what the circumstances are. Lakshmi goes from child to adult in an instant. We see how sex trafficking has affected her because when she goes to the doctor for her routine check up, she does not even want to be touched. The evolution of sex trafficking is rapidly increasing due to the reproduction of children within the communities. Girls In sex trafficking often produce children due to the lack of protection, especially within low income countries. If they do not escape, it is likely that the child will also be sex trafficked. We see an example of this in the movie when Mumtaz is admiring one of the girls babies and even asks the mother of she would trade her in.
Human trafficking has become a lucrative business the use of women and children, as means of profit is now common practice. Mexico is synonymous with exploiting women into a life of prostitution. The cause of the growth in the human trafficking industry has grown substantially due to the reusability of the women being exploited. Meaning that the trafficked women can be put into play over and over, which will continue generating monies from the service provided. Even the trafficking of children is based on the demand of the people around the world requesting it. This increase in human trafficking is especially linked to impoverished and war conflict regions. The sale and trafficking of humans is the new modern day slavery.
