Introduction
Every year according to the U.S state department from
60,000 to 80,000 people are trafficked across international borders, and 80% of
them are females and children. Mostly they are being trafficked for sexual
exploitation or labor, these trafficked people are mostly used by the gangs to
gain more money for their continues criminal activities; and when the
trafficked person isn’t any good to them they either sell the person or simple
kill him/her.
There are thousands of stories where the victim tries to
run away in hopes of getting back their normal life, which mostly ends up in
their death.
What
is Human Trafficking?
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime UNODC define
human trafficking as one person uses threats or force or other forms of coercion
such as fraud, abduction, abuse of power or position to gain control on another
person for the purpose of exploitation.

of Human Trafficking:
There are 5 types of human trafficking. Sexual
exploitation, forced labor, domestic servitude, organ harvesting and child
trafficking. Each one requires a different type of victim and sometimes the
victim can go through every type depending on the criminal’s requirements.
History:
The history of human trafficking can be seen in slavery
where it existed for a long time, but in 1400s highlighted the beginning of
European slave trading in Africa. With the Portuguese slaving Africans and
transferring them to Portugal for their use. British joined in slave trade in
1562. By 1600s the demand has been increased for slaves and other countries
joined in like North America, Spain, Holland, France, Sweden, and Denmark.

Advantages
and disadvantages
Human trafficking might have disadvantages going as an
act, the issue only shows only abuse to the victim and clearly there aren’t any
advantages to them. One of the main disadvantages are the verbal and physical
abuse that will lead any victim to lose their faith in human being and trust,
followed by losing their self identity and worth in this world which can cause
the victim to suffer from mental and deterioration of the psychological state.
Bruises and physical damage can be treated and recovered but psychological and mental
damage might take forever to recover from.
Ways
of overcome Human Trafficking:

one of the main is spreading awareness and educating young people to look for
signs of human trafficking, always try to find ways of avoid getting one self
into the trap and be aware of those who offer such things.

trafficking put strict laws poor countries and supports to build their economy.
Conclusion:
Human trafficking is practiced every seconds and millions
are trafficked every year due to the fraud, the solution to this is to prepare
every human being through education and self defense so if they couldn’t
recognize signs of being trafficked they would be able to defend themselves and
escape. Awareness might not end the act, but it can always save lives.
