The Secret Life of Human Trafficking
Debbie 's story is particularly chilling. One evening Debbie said she got a call from a casual friend, Bianca, who asked to stop by Debbie 's house. Debbie went outside to meet Bianca, who drove up in a Cadillac with two older men, Mark and Matthew. "So I went and I started to go give her a hug," Debbie told "Primetime." "And that 's when she pushed me in the car."
As they sped away from her house, Debbie said that one of the men told Bianca to tie her up and said he threatened to shoot Bianca if she did not comply. Unbelievably, police say Debbie was kidnap from her own driveway with her mother, Kerstin, right inside. Back home with her other kids, Kerstin had no idea Debbie was not there. Her captors took her to an apartment 25 mile from her home. She said one of her captors put a gun to her head. Debbie said her captors then drugged her and other man was brought into the room, where she was gang raped.
Debbie 's indoctrination into the world of sex exploitation was particularly brutal. More often young girls are lured into unwilling prostitution with promises of jobs, money, clothing and modeling. “Teen Girls Stories.”Human trafficking took over the world, and the percentage of missing women and children is rising as we speak. I am highly against human trafficking, it is like a disease that keeps spreading and needs to be stop. By any means necessary. Slavery started thousands of years ago; it existed in prehistoric hunting societies and has involved over history of the humanity as a universal institution. Human Trafficking is a crime
Against humanity; it involves an act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harbouring or receiving a person through the use of force. Every year thousands of men, women and children fall in the hands of traffickers in their own countries or in other countries. Purpose of exploitation, which includes exploiting into prostitution, forced

It is hard to believe that in the twenty first century, slavery still exists especially here at home and right under our noses. This has been an ongoing problem since the nineteenth century. A lot of people were trafficked into the United States and sold as slaves. Back then there were no laws that stated that it was illegal to traffic human beings and turn them into slaves.…

    For this assignment I chose to use the yahoo search engine to look up information on Human Trafficking in the United States. There were approximately 12 links I could have chosen from that were related to human trafficking. I chose the Wikipedia link. Wikipedia gives you a more in depth definition and information. The definition Wikipedia provided read as: human trafficking is the modern form of slavery, with illegal smuggling and tradimg of people, for forced labour or sexual exploitation. Trafficking is the recruitment or transferring of people by means of coercion or abduction. In the U.S human trafficking tends to occur in California and Texas. They both have an integrated population, mostly made up of immigrants. The U.S Justice Department cannot give a definite number of how many people are trafficked into the country; they do estimate the number to be about 17,500. Those being trafficked are usually young children, teenagers, men and women and domestic citizens or foreign nationals. Wikipedia gives a little history on slavery. It also tells of a man named Richard Leonard Kuklinski, he was an imprisoned murderer. He descrived to a biographer that the ages of children trafficked are between 7-14, of both genders and two races. Another country that is one of the largest hubs for trafficking is Atlanta, Georgia. They have over 200 active brothels and more open each month. Atlanta has strip clubs and spas that serve as a front for sex trafficking. Wikipedia goes on to tell about the laws, bills, and national organizations hat are against any kind of trafficking. I would probably not recommend yahoo as a search engine. Often times it give you results not related to the intial search. I would recommend Wikipedia though. It gives you great information about your topic of choice and it also gives you other sites you can do research on.…

    Slavery may have been abolished more than 100 years ago, but it still exists all around the world. Slavery defined is the subjection of a person to another person; being forced into work. Through the years, countless of battles have been fought and many lives lost to eliminate slavery, yet it still exists in the form of human trafficking. Human trafficking is the trade of humans, most commonly for the purpose of sexual slavery, forced labor or for the extraction of organs or tissues, including surrogacy. Nearly every country in the world is affected by human trafficking. According to the United Nations, over 130 countries are origin, transit or destination countries for human trafficking. The Havocscope, the Global Black Market Information, says that human trafficking has a value of thirty-two billion dollars. The people who are traded are paid about one percent of that or nothing at all. They are forced to work in extreme conditions and endless hours for pretty much nothing. Human trafficking is morally wrong because it is a form of modern slavery, it demeans people and makes them feel less than human, and the after effects of it can be devastating.…
