Changes.......Need to happen

Human and children trafficking has become an important global problem. Every country and person in the world needs to unite and search for a common goal. Trafficking has become a driving profit force that has pushed people into children and women trafficking business. People’s culture and understand of trafficking need to change. It becomes a battle of resist, where not just one person can say NO, but the whole world.

The first step to break this problem is for people to be aware of what is happening to these children. They are taken away from their families, ship around the world, and pushed into prostitution with no means of fighting back. The children are forced to take drugs and are given little food, clothing, and shelter to survive. They become dependent on the cappers and no way to leave.

The statistics behind trafficking are hard to estimate and fathom. Both the amount of children in trafficking around the world and profit made off these children is unbelievable. Over 1 million children are exploited into prostitution every year. Within 2009, the estimated profit for human trafficking was about 32 billion dollars, on average 13,000 was made by each “forced laborer.”

Change is something that has to happen. People need to resist children slavery and exploitation. Imagine if your own child or someone from your family was forced into prostitution . . . . . . . . . . . . . You would do whatever it took to save them. The world needs to give opportunity to save this generation from prostitution through resources which can save children. Countries need to rely on other means to fuel their economy besides trafficking. Intense global policies need to be put into place for countries and people that are trafficking people.

Colonial vs Consent

Within my class we have been focusing on the themes of slavery, which has wonderful connection to my topic. The idea that slavery has changed is evident throughout our society.



Back in colonial times, slavery was everywhere. It was part of life in the southern United States, which had connections around the world. Slavery was not only legal, but accepted by society as natural fact and romanticized for people. Most of the original slaves were forced into slavery. They were brought to different parts of the world by force. In response, slaves were forced into isolation from both culture and family. They were dehumanized and used as profit. Having slaves shipped around the world, made slavery expensive and commodity. It became a battle of control through violence and exploitation, which would last for generations and in most cases be permanent.

In the world of slavery now, it becomes a secretive battle. Invisible and unknown to a person that doesn’t care to take a second and stop and see the problem of human trafficking all around the world. It has become immoral, unlawful, and politically/socially incorrect to be affiliated with slaves and slavery.

Even though slavery is seen as a horrific thing, people are somehow connected in their everyday activities. A great deal of products Americans consume everyday are made in sweat shops in other parts of the world and even different foods we eat have been harvested my slave labor.

This new slavery focuses on the whole idea of consent. Slaves are put into these situations because they want to make something better for themselves and their families. They become forced into a couple different types of slavery, things such as debt bondage, contract slavery, human trafficking, and chattel. These all become types of forced labor either in the house doing choirs or on the streets performing sexual favors. Slaves are now seen as temporary and replaceable. They can be disposed of at any time.

The biggest fear is that children slaves become completely invisible to the normal person. They are exploited and disposed of at anytime. Children slaves become so isolated that they have no other chose but to be exploited. They see no way out ................. in a world of high demand for sex and children that people are not afraid to loss a little to gain a lot.
