...Cathy Keith Child Trafficking: Innocent Children Force into Prostitution Prof: Leon Geter 04/26/2012 Abstract This research paper surveys the contextual factors surrounding child trafficking for the purposes of prostitution and also examines potential ethical issues arising from research to safeguard the psychological and physical well-being of these children. This paper is not intended to provide an ethical best-practice checklist rather its aim is to encourage the exploration of important ethical issues and further questions to be addressed by researchers in this area. In so doing, I hope to encourage the development of a fully informed decision-making approach to anti-trafficking policy and practice, and the improved provision of appropriate services for children being trafficked for prostitution. Hence the necessity, as I see it, for a reconsideration of victim-status and its constituents. The qualitative research methodology used in this research involved semi-structured interviews conducted throughout the United States and an extensive review of current literature. The sample population included individuals from a wide spectrum of expertise including United States governmental agencies and local non-governmental organizations with experience and knowledge of child trafficking and prostitution. Introduction Human trafficking is the slavery of our time. Exactly 200 years ago, Britain and the United Stated formally outlawed the transatlantic slave trade...

...Ethics on Child Labor Trafficking Child labor is a very controversial topic around the world especially when BBC World News created a documentary about the children of the Ivory Coast harvesting cocoa for large chocolate companies. Most children involved in child labor trafficking are pulled from their homes at an early age and are forced to work long days in high cocoa trees. If the children get paid at all, they don’t receive the money directly; the wage is given to a relative. The children don’t have a “normal” childhood like that of American children who play with toys and have fun with friends. An absolute ethical view among 1st world countries is that child labor trafficking is completely wrong. However, the people of the Ivory Coast think that child labor trafficking is acceptable because it is all they have ever known; it is their way of life. Consequently, I feel that child labor trafficking is not absolutely wrong, but it is unethical in some aspects. I believe that if the children are going to work, they should also receive basic human rights like the right to an education. Education is such an important tool of progress, which is all the Ivory Coast needs. With education they would be able to grow as a country and increase their standard of living. Without education, child labor trafficking becomes a vicious cycle: children are trafficked, and they grow to be traffickers themselves. I also think that it is unethical how the children are treated. They...

...Human Trafficking/Child Soldiers Edwina Hay Dr. Rufus E. Robinson Contemporary International Problems-POL 300002043 March 18, 2011 Human Trafficking/Child Soldiers Human trafficking has attracted the attention of the international community and individual states on more than one occasion. Trafficking consists of the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons by means of threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, 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 purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal or organs (Human Trafficking, 2006). Many types of human trafficking and forms of exploitation exist and are constantly changing. The key types of human trafficking and forms of exploitation include sexual exploitation, labor exploitation of children, and exploitation for the purpose of begging. Sexual exploitation is generally considered to be the primary form of human trafficking offenses.

...Child Sex Trafficking. I. Introduction It would be ideal to imagine a world where children stay within the boundaries of innocence. However, numerous countries around the world make that dream impossible as child sex trafficking grows in abundance as the most common form of modern day slavery. On a daily basis, children are acquired by means of force, threat, and fraud in order to be exploited in forms of sexuality, slavery, and forced labor (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime). Up to 50% of individuals who are forced into sex trafficking are minors, which a large portion consisting of women and girls. Despite an infeasibility of estimating a number of victims, the United Nations approximates about 2.5 million children from 127 different countries are subjected to this type of modern day slavery, while other sources claim as many as 27 million victims.1 Some governments overlook the existence of the crime statistically because of illegality, so an accurate number cannot be calculated and varies from region to region (U.S. Department of State, 2004, Trafficking in Persons Report, Washington, D.C.) II. Background The federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act defines the crime of sex trafficking as “the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act where such an act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced has not attained 18 years of age.” 2 Sexual trafficking has been...

Paper will cover population description, social issues, and macro (world-wide) interventions. Population Description Human Trafficking is harboring people without their consent to say so. These people are threaten and taking against their will. Abduction is the main form of human trafficking because they seek out person who are vulnerable to society and does not have enough funds to make ends meet so they are taking advantage of by allowing those to abuse them by receiving payment for their freedom. Women are more vulnerable to trafficking because of the impoverished, uneducated ethnic minority, rural or refugee groups. Most women lack employment because of lack of education. Children are to most vulnerable to trafficking because of the physical, mentally and emotionally they has become by the country. Mothers sit at home wondering if they going to ever see their child again. Because society has made for them to allow their child ages 10-21 to traffic for means of food. “The U.S government estimates that there are approximately 800,000 individuals who are victims of human trafficking worldwide, the majority of whom are females under the age of 18”.(Martin, 2011). These female can be used for many thing, however the targets of large organizations that has business for human trafficking find that women can be sold...

...continues to be widely prominent and relevant across the globe today. Annually, hundreds of thousands of America’s children and youth are being sexually exploited. This trafficking industry dates back to the late 1800s when children were first prostituted in the United States. Since then, the problem has been exacerbated by globalization and the emergence of the internet as a major source of communication. The increasing prominence of the media and internet allows for news to be easily shared. But because sex trafficking is a continuous issue, people have become desensitized to the harsh reality of the sex industry. Also, false news stories decrease...

...Women and Children trafficking in Bangladesh: A Legal Study Md. Saddam Hossen[1] ABSTRACT Sexual abuse, exploitation, trafficking are nightmares for femininity especially for disadvantage groups and trafficking is the most heinous of all. Government as well as Non- Government Organizations is working for Prevention, Protection, Rehabilitation and Reintegration of trafficked victims and population at risk. Though among these, Prevention is the most effective to reduce or eliminate human trafficking it is least utilized. Perhaps lack of mechanisms by which to measure success or outcome of prevention activities is the cause of this. Still some NGOs are working on it. In fact NGOs have been the pioneers in bringing this invisible crime into the public domain by their continuous efforts. Government is now also concerned of it because of international pressure and concern. Government initiatives give emphasis on prosecution but it is a globally chained crime where prosecute real offender is tough. Rather prevention is the possible measure to stop trafficking. It is the only pre-trafficking measure which may help a young girl or child not to be victim of trafficking. NGOs are the only actor at grass root level working for prevention so it is necessary to see- actually what they are doing and has any change took place. . The study explains the definition of trafficking, causes and consequences of trafficking. It also suggest some recommendations for the preventio9n of this problem. ...

...state that, “One of the common misconceptions of trafficking is that it involves only foreign born victims crossing international borders into the United States.” Human trafficking, as defined in the North Dakota Century Code, involves sexual exploitation of a victim if that victim is less than eighteen years of age or if coercion is used for an individual of any age. Commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) in the United States is sometimes referred to as domestic minor sex trafficking (Bounds, Julion, & Delaney, 2015). Federal legislation has defined human trafficking as enslavement of individuals through means of force, fraud, or coercion (Farrell & Fahy, 2009). The term human trafficking has multiple...

...Human Trafficking: A Hidden Disease. Human trafficking has never been widely acknowledged in the United States, as many view the issue as an international problem. Human trafficking comes in two ways, international and domestic. International trafficking can be forced child labor or prostitution, whereas domestic is, for the most part, child prostitution (Levy). Close to twenty-seven million people are trafficked in the world, around 14,500 are brought to the United States from other countries (Buffett 116). Meanwhile, many children living in America are taken off the street and forced to become something most people could hardly comprehend. This issue is coming from all sides in America,...

...Human Trafficking Modern-day Slavery When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity”. - Luke 13:12 There are more slaves in the world today than at any time in history. Human trafficking has quickly become a problem the entire world is faced with and there are no countries that are immune to this rapidly growing crisis. Human trafficking is the second largest illegal industry globally, behind the drug trade. The main contributors for human trafficking are governmental corruption, economic, and social crisis within each nation’s borders. In this report, I will cover the definition of human trafficking, some statistics gathered over the years, and what is being done to prevent human trafficking. Human trafficking is defined as the illegal trade in human beings for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation or force labor and is considered as the modern day form of slavery. Human trafficking is an umbrella term used to describe all forms of modern-day slavery. These forms include, but not limited to forced labor, bonded labor, sex trafficking, child labor, and child soldiers. Forced labor makes up the majority of human trafficking in the world. The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that for every trafficking victim subjected to forced prostitution, nine people are forced to work. Forced labor is also known as involuntary servitude. Immigrants are particularly vulnerable...

But the horrific reality is that human trafficking is alive and well in the United States. The article states that there are more people in the world today taken against his or her own will then ever before. 30 million people worldwide are enslaved today, putting it in the top three crimes worldwide next to illegal drugs and arm trafficking, that generates billions of dollars. Criminal organizations have capitalized on the exploitation of women and minors that have infested US soil. They are often sold as laborers or sex objects, referred to as prostitutes. The organizations find it easy to manipulate the minors making it easier when the minor gets order to have them more dependent on their “owner” with increased fear of running away or turning to law enforcement for help. The United States has established a Trafficking Victims Protection Act that deals from children being sold as sex slaves, child soldiers, forced child labor and others. The CNN Freedom Project has being raising awareness of human trafficking. The secretary of State Hillary Clinton even spoke on the issue of slavery. The Secretary of State advised that it is a crime and it could not be tolerated to treat any culture, community or country with slavery of any sort. Not For Sale is a nonprofit group...

...The Trafficking of Women and Children in China Imagine walking down the street to class, when all of a sudden two men come out from around the corner, grab you, and throw you into a van. After what feels like hours, the van finally arrives at a building and the men take you and put you in a small room, filled with frightened women and crying children of all ages. When asking another lady where they all were and what was going on, she explains that everyone in the room had been either sold or abducted and must now work as a prostitute to earn profits for the owners of the sex business. Human trafficking is the act of transporting, enlisting, or harboring an individual by use of force or intimidation for the sole purpose of exploitation (China). China is a source, transit, and destination country for thousands of women and children who have been either forced or sold into trafficking (China). Chinese women are often recruited by false promises of employment and are later forced into prostitution while children are often recruited by traffickers who promise their parents that they will send them a percentage of the money the child makes. Between 2001 and 2005, police in China investigated over 28,000 trafficking cases and the Chinese government arrested more than 25,000 suspected traffickers and rescued more than 35,000 victims (China). Despite this investigation, the Chinese government have not increased their efforts to stop trafficking since 2005 and claim that they...
