Human trafficking, also known as “modern day slavery,” is one of the most significant issues in the world. There are approximately 12.3 million victims of forced labor and forced commercial sexual exploitation worldwide. Despite great efforts to put an end to or at least curtail this issue, the problem is still increasing. Focusing on the United States. this essay discusses how human trafficking works, how widespread it is, what government does to fight it, why those efforts do not work, how community organizations take matters into their own hands to help victims, and how that might actually be the most effective strategy.Research Project #1: Human Trafficking

I enjoyed reading your paper. Human trafficking is a subject that I am very interested in. Your paper contained a lot of great information regarding theories and legislation on human trafficking. I do agree that something has to be done in order to put a stop, or at least a dent, in the amount of trafficking that goes on. I agree that the victims of human trafficking should also be helped. If the focus is solely on the traffickers the problem isn’t going to be solved for the main reason pointed out in your paper, they aren’t punished severe enough. In my opinion we need more organizations like the SWP to intervene where governments fail.
