Human TraffickingHuman trafficking is the second most criminal industry in the world that exploits the lives of women and children. They take children from home and make them work for hours in horrible conditions and pay them little money. Women have been turning into sex slaves for some time now. As stated in Kiener (2012), more than 5,000 women and children from Malawi are brought aboard for sexual exploitation each year (p.475). People sometimes put themselves in the situation of being caught, because they are desperately trying to leave their current situation. Even though slavery has been banned throughout the world, it still exists today and millions of people fall victim to it every year. Mam said that “people think slavery ended years ago” (as cited in Kiener, 2012, p.475). Human trafficking is thriving and brings in nearly thirty-two billion dollars a year in profits. Shelley argues that growth has been dramatic since the mid-1900s, thanks to factors such as the end of the Cold War, the disappearance of borders, globalization, economies, and the growth of international crime syndicates (as cited in Kiener, 2012, p.477). Profits are soaring because prices are so low. The need for slave labor is high and inexpensive. Since there are so many slaves, traffickers do not have to spend money or care for the slave. The trafficker might dump or kill them. A story of this little boy named Walusungu Msondo and his friend were approached and strangers offered them a job and it was too good to refuse. Some of the other children back away when the stranger tells them not to tell their parents. Some Msondo went with the men, because they promised them a well-paid job. When he gets there he realizes he made a bad decision. Msondo had to work for nine hours in the water... in the middle of the paper... in the shadow of human trafficking. When it comes to human trafficking, the starting point is to bring the problem to light, and U.S. and multilateral efforts over the past decade have achieved this goal. The victims of human trafficking themselves are in fact in the shadows from a social and economic point of view. This formula is what is needed to abolish trafficking, so that the rule of law is fully realized and all types of victims are offered the opportunity to reclaim their inherent dignity (Logan, 2013, p.6). Trafficking victims have been stopped and several countries where they are exploited and resold. When they stop they are beaten and told they have to pay off their debts. Trafficking takes advantage of this because it is difficult to stop. It is difficult to try to identify a victim of human trafficking before the force of manual labor is employed ( Kara, 2011, p..68).
