ABout Human trafficking

Human trafficking varies from country to country, but it usually preys on vulnerable situations. Such as Leaving a place of poverty to gain wealth, war, and social cultural practices.

 

Victims leave a place of poverty to gain wealth for themselves or to help their families. Many victims want to get out of their situations so they risk everything to leave the place that sees them mired in poverty. This gives the human traffickers bait to lure victims to move to a different country. Traffickers lie, promising jobs and stability in order to recruit their victims. Upon their arrival to another state or region, captors take control. More often than not, they are held in places where victims did not to want to make their home. War is another form of conflict. Armed conflicts can lead to massive forced displacements of people. However, war creates large numbers of orphans and street children who are especially vulnerable to trafficking. Their families have either passed away or are fighting a war, complicating child-rearing. Social and cultural practices influences trafficking as well. Many societies and cultures devalue, abuse and exploit women and girls, creating perilous living conditions for these women.  With little opportunities of upward mobility and with little value placed on women and girls, they are more vulnerable to human trafficking.
