There are various factors involved in the trafficking and exploitation of women and children fraudulent transportation them domestically or internationally, for:
- Slave labor, child labor, forced prostitution, exploitation of migrant labor, sexual slavery, child pornography, and indentured servitude.
Trafficking in women and children is a crime in which victims are transported from poor nations to rich countries or from rural towns to the cities for the traffickers to amass huge profits.
- This trafficking of women and children grows fastest in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
- In Asia, very young girls, ages 13–16 years, from rural towns in Nepal and Bangladesh are sold to brothels in India for $1000 each.
- In addition, young women and girls from Thailand, the Philippines, and elsewhere in Southeast Asia are trafficked to different parts of Europe, North Africa, Middle East, and Australia. Europol estimates that the sex industry is now worth several billion dollars annually.
2. Children
Children are trafficked to work in sweatshops as bonded labor, and young men and boys work illegally in the “three-” jobs (jobs that are dirty, difficult, and dangerous).
- The United Nations (UN) Children’s Fund estimates that more than 200,000 children are enslaved by cross-border smuggling in West, East, North, and Central Africa alone.
- The children are often “sold” or trustingly given out by unsuspecting parents who believe that their children are going to be looked after, learn a trade, or be educated.
3. War victims
Very often, trafficking patterns are related to war zones, and even the presence of UN peacekeeping forces—as in Kosovo—and natural disasters create opportunities for traffickers.
Some local law enforcement officers and peacekeepers even join in the illegal enterprise.
One of my lecture before had mention before that the poverty is a type of denying. Poverty denying someone to make a choice. We were born the place/country where we been offer the opportunity to expand our self-potential vise verse these people need to fight for their existence.
Till then, bear in mind that how fortunate we are live in this world.
