introduction

The topic I chose was Female and child sex trafficking. Some of the background knowledge I have on this topic is that it usually involves women and children from other countries who are lied too by the trafficker’s who tell them this will better there lives or their current situation. Many are promised the opportunity of jobs and a stable life. In reality, they are held against their will and sold into sex trafficking. In Thailand the traffickers will go to rural areas and seek out young women from poorer economic backgrounds and take them to big cities such as Bangkok brainwashing the women into sex slavery. Bangkok is one of the largest hubs for human sex trafficking.
The reason I choose this topic is that it’s not mentioned much in our society today and it’s a big problem even if it doesn’t affect our daily lives. This is a violation of human rights because many of these women are held captive by their traffickers as slaves. The reason of choosing this topic was to further the knowledge of people around the world to help find a solution or stop the problem. This is something that many women and children go through and I would hope that we could stop it.
Of course, I am not an expert on this topic, which leads to me having some big questions. 1. Where does most trafficking occur? 2. Are there any organizations that are trying to stop it? 3. How are these people tricked into doing these kinds of deeds? 4. Does it occur in the United States? 5. Where does it happen in the United States?
