Topic: International Human Trafficking
Synopsis:
From Safe Horizon's website: Human trafficking is becoming more and more popular worldwide. Human trafficking safe houses are also becoming more and more popular due to the enormous amount of people being held against their will.
Analysis:
In today's world, international human trafficking is unfortunately becoming more and more common. Most people believe that women are the only ones who are victims of this horrible crime, but that isn't so. Men are also victims. Also a lot of people believe that only adult women are taken but in fact children make up the majority of the population in the human trafficking world. We are trying to stop human trafficking by forming many groups such as "Safe Horizon". Human trafficking is not only for sex. People traffic people for labor too. So in a way we still have slavery going on in the 21st century! Below are short videos about raising awareness of human trafficking and how you can get involved to help.

Human trafficking is a really horrible thing, and i enjoyed the blog. Maybe expanding more on some statistics would have been nice. Or promote possible solutions? Granted it was a little short, it was well written.
ReplyDeleteThis such a scary issue... Indeed, many are victimized in our society, particularily those who cannot defend themselves or who are tricked into the cycle of trafficing. Thanks for writing about this critical issue.
