The Crime of Human Trafficking

 

            Human Trafficking includes an act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harboring or receiving a person through a use of force, coercion or other means, for the purpose of exploiting them. Human trafficking has become a point of importance in recent years because anti-trafficking proposals have flourished. The sole purpose of human trafficking in most states is of sexual aspects internally and internationally (HumanTrafficking.org). In the sex industries, trafficking is mostly related to the rising demand and supply in women in South Asian and the United States. In the 1990's, studies by researchers of the feminist group have talked about how strongly migration is related to the rising occurrences of trafficking in women, mail-order brides and the growths of sex tourisms. Mediators discussed the fact that the reasons for so much human trafficking between genders is because of the rising numbers of women who migrate just to engage in sexual activities away from home. They feel that most women do this because of the lack of economic opportunities that is non-existing in their own home or communities. Other things or how women seek for better opportunities and run into the wrong persons saying that they know this person or can help with the situation and the seeker usually ends up exploited without consent (HumanTrafficking.org).
             One must remember that criminals exist in every country in the world that does these crimes of human trafficking. Criminals target not only the women and young girls but also men and young boys. Because trafficking is a crime against humanity, the (UNTOC) which is the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, assists states in their attempts to implement Protocol to prevent, suppress and punish trafficking in persons. Usually these things happen because of weak border controls and that lead to people that do not have proper identification that look to others to help and that leads them to exploitation.
