Introduction

Many people would say slavery ended after the emancipation of the slaves in 1865, but human slavery still exists today in the form of human trafficking. Victims of this terrible crime are "forced, defrauded, or coerced into labor or sexual exploitation (Facts about 1). Victims are also used for "domestic servitude, restaurant work, janitorial work, sweatshop factory work, and migrant agriculture work" (About Human 1). Human trafficking is a growing problem in the world in which every victim is impacted in a devastating way; many tactics are used to lure the victims, and most nations are trying to prevent this problem from spreading and to ultimately deplete it from society.

In the article "Facts about Human Trafficking", it affirms that the victims are mostly women and children that are trafficked for sexual exploitation (1). Women are used as prostitutes, against their will, to make money for the traffickers. Children are forced into doing sexual activities with their "masters" in order to achieve their false promise of freedom.

Human traffickers use many different methods in order to get people to cooperate and perform there given duties or jobs. The traffickers use many different techniques including debt bondage, isolation from society, and threat of violence to get the victims (About Human 1). Traffickers take away the money of the victims for the trip into the country, forcing the victims to work for the traffickers to pay off the debt. Victims are isolated from society so that they do not tell police or other people about the situation they are in. The threat of violence is used in order to keep the victims obedient and submissive.
