Juanita Lewis Mrs. Empson English II 12 November 2010 HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN TODAY’S SOCIETY I.Human trafficking is forced labor or physical labor. Human trafficking is a world- wide crime that happens every single day of your entire life. Trafficking majorly affects the lives of the victim’s families; and makes a bigger impact on the victims their selves. A.Traffickers force victims to work off the debt that keeps swelling. 1.They are not slaves they are people, so treated fairly. 2.It’s tearing families apart. 3.People should be fully aware of what’s going on when they see it. 4.The victims should be fully aware of what’s going on when they see it. 5.CHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE! B.No one should have to be afraid everywhere they go. II.They are not slaves; they are people, so treat them fairly. A.Victims are reluctant to cooperate. 1.“If social workers can’t find a secure place for the victims to stay, the victim may end up in jail.” 2.Doug Molloy, an associate U.S. attorney from Fort Myers, said he has had to put some young women, forced into prostitution, into jail because there was nowhere else to keep them safe. a.Whatever happened to the Preamble? 1.“Establishing justice.” 2.“Insuring domestic tranquility.” 3.“Promoting general welfare.” 4.“Securing the Blessing of Liberty to ourselves and Prosperity.” b.What happened to the amendments? 1.“Powers to the People.” 2.“Abolition of SLAVERY.” 3.“Rights of the Citizens.” B.Adams said there was a shortage of social services to help young desperate young people. 1.As quoted by Adams, “There are more services for animals than for child victims of abuse.” C.“Human trafficking comprises the fastest growing criminal industry in the world, and is based on the recruitment harboring and transportation of people solely for the purpose of exploitation in prostitution, pornography, bride trafficking, and physical abuse of children for commercial use: An estimated 27 million 45,000 are enslaved in the US., 15,000 of them youngsters. III.It’s tearing families apart. A.“In 2006, the U.S. Department of State describes it as “modern- day slavery” and estimates that each year between 600,000 and 800,000 people are trafficked across national borders.” 1.“This figure doesn’t include, the agency says, “the millions”, trafficked within their own countries.” 2.“Federal justice and immigration officials estimate as many as 17,000 people are trafficked annually into the U.S. for sex and forced labor,” the reporter said in 2006. 3.“In 2010, the U. N. estimates that from 800,000 to 900,000 people are trafficked and exploited each year.” 4.“In 2010, officials believe some 50,000 people, mostly women and children, are trafficked through the U.S. each year. B.“Children are being abducted as young as the age of 8.” 1.As told in the story by Kim, “When she refused to see “customers” posing as a 13- year- old Japanese girl, her captures gang- raped a young girl in front of her. IV.People should be fully aware of what’s going on when they see it. A.Hospitals and clinics could be prime spots to identify human trafficking. 1.Traffickers have escorted or allowed victims to get medical help in past cases. 2.Victims often seek treatment at the behest of the trafficker, for aliments that could keep them from earning money. 3.Not all warning signs come in violent injuries. B.Not all law enforcers are aware. 1.“Of 261 only 6% of the justice agencies, that respond, said they had run across a case they considered slavery on human trafficking.” a.“13% said they didn’t know if they’d encountered a case.” b.“7% said they’d had any training in it.” 2.“Of the 136 service providers that responded, 26% said they had come across slavery or human trafficking cases.” a.“More than 1/3 said they didn’t know if they’d ever encountered one.” b.“2/5 said they’d received any training.” 3.“15% of the justice agencies and 21% of service providers had encountered minors involved in commercials sex.” V.The victims should be fully protected under the law. A.“In certain instances, the law compels hospital workers to report incidents to the authorities.” 1.“Unless there’s a law in place they’re required not to release the information.” 2.“Local health care officials say their ability to notify authorities is limited by federal privacy, states written into the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.” a.“It calls for complete confidentiality when it comes to personal health information.” b.“It’s uneasy about fussing with privacy laws.” 3.Lawmakers are eager to fight trafficking. a.Head Sgt. J.D. Loethen said, “A change in the law could give more leeway to health officials to report other abuse crimes.” 1.“If a 12- year- old girl is pregnant, that doesn’t mean trafficking is involved, but there’s a crime to report.” VI.CHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE! A.“About 80% of trafficking victims are women, while 50% are minors.” 1.“Some say that when they think about the term human trafficking, dark, shadowy images come to mind.” a.“For others, images of young girls being shipped all over the world, where they’re forced into prostitution.” 2.“An increasingly sexualized consumer society and inadequate funding for social services major reasons why more young girls are being pressed into physical slavery.” a.“A 2001 study by the University of Pennsylvania’s school of social work found 200,000 to 300,000 children are on the street in America being sexually exploited.” VII.How are they trying to put a stop to “modern- day slavery”? A.The only thing that’s really being done is: law enforcers put the victims into Witness Protection Program, but only if they testify, against the trafficker in court. 1.That may be a problem because some of the victims are too scared to testify, therefore, they let the victims go. a.Usually, the trafficker finds the victim and either kill them for running away and telling or they just put them back to work on the street as a prostitute/ slave. b.If that doesn’t happen, the victim goes back to the trafficker in fear that they might find them. B.What needs to happen is: the law enforcers should still put the victim into the Witness Protection Program, even without the victim testifying in court, because no one should be forced to do something they don’t want to. 1.They should have equal protection under the law. C.Make a change in today’s economy. 1.YOU NEED TO STAND TOGETHER! BE ONE NATION! BE THE CHANGE EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT! BE THE ONE’S TO PUT A STOP TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING… FOR GOOD!
