In the timeline formatted article “Human Trafficking Timeline”, SIRS Issues Researcher informs the reader about the critical problems and events of human trafficking that have occurred over time. The author predominantly demonstrates the steps governments of various countries have made to combat modern day slavery. In The United Nations, an intergovernmental organization, created a “Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons” (“Human Trafficking Timeline”). Another principal point the timeline explains is the forming of nongovernmental groups and organizations to battle human trafficking.

Human trafficking is also called modern day slavery and is defined as holding someone illegally and against their will by form of deception and coercion and turning them into laborers and prostitutes without paying them. 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.…
Human trafficking is on the up rise; therefore, we have an increasing opportunity for greater interventions within our community. Traffickers target vulnerable Native women and youth who struggle with mental illness and substance abuse. These young women are easy targets because their mental illness affects their thought process of being able to recognize being exploited. Unfortunately, these young women believe these exploiters lies and deceit. They believe the pimps are their boyfriends and love them. Which in turn makes it hard to break away from their pimps even though they are getting treated so badly. (Research Roundup: Native American Women May be Vulnerable to Sex Trafficking. 2013)…
Nearly 185 years later after the 13th amendment was ratified, slavery is still rampant in America. In today’s society it comes in different forms. The general term for modern day slavery is human trafficking. Human trafficking is a form of slavery in which people profit from exploiting others whether for domestic or sexual labor. It affects every country around the world, regardless of historical or political status. According to Polaris Project’s article “Human trafficking,” “The International Labor Organization estimates that there are 20.9 million victims of human trafficking globally, including 5.5 million children. 55% are women and girls (humantraffickingpara5).” After being raped, beaten, dehumanized and sold numerous times to complete…

It has been found that, “The United States of America is principally a transit and destination country for trafficking in persons” (“United States of America,” n.d., n.p.).

This essay will concentrate on the two types of trafficking and how America has over looked the problem all of these years. Those two types of tracking are labor and sex trafficking.

Nowadays, the process of globalization is visible in many aspects of human activity. However, bright lights of global integration make us blind to the issues caused by the boundless world order. Decline in border control accompanied by globalization expands the activities of criminal groups (Shelley, 2006, p.43). Human trafficking is the third biggest unlawful international trade, and its growth rate outperforms the sale of drugs and weapons (Aguilar-Milan, Foltz, Jackson, Oberg, 2008, p. 45). According to 13th United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, human trafficking has no limits: it happens within countries and among them (2015). At present-day, trafficking in person is still relevant, and globalization contributes to its development.…
Human trafficking has become a problem for all countries, but it recently has become a problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible. In the United States, it is a global problem.

While this problem is not solved, the sex trade and forced labor will be part of the lives of all who suffer from this disease. Therefore, to beat a problem that magnitude, it should be resolved as soon as possible. This situation is very difficult to resolve despite the strenuous efforts the government has not been completely eradicated. Inconsistent government could be the main reason I have not been able to eradicate this problem.…
We need to make a plan that actually helps rescue these victims. The polices procedure on how to stop human trafficking has not been efficient. “The initiatives used by both federal and state level law enforcement lack a clear plan or set of guidelines that would help law enforcement better identify victims of human trafficking… If federal and state-level initiatives developed plans to collaborate with social service agencies such as health care providers, more victims could be identified” (Helton 448). The police need to have an effective plan and there needs to be classes on human trafficking for all levels of law enforcement. This is the third step on how to help victims and this step is the most crucial because if law enforcement is not properly trained there will be no chance to join police forces with the local health…
