    Study Notes

    Human Trafficking

    • Human trafficking is a severe crime, a violation of human rights, and a global issue.
    • Thousands of men, women, and children are victims annually.
    • The issue is ongoing and requires increased awareness and victim identification.
    • It's often referred to as "modern-day slavery."
    • Vulnerable populations are frequently targeted.

    What is Human Trafficking?

    • A uniform international definition hasn't been adopted.
    • The UN defines it as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of people through force, fraud, or deception for exploitation.
    • Victims can be of any age, gender, or background, and this occurs globally.
    • Tactics include violence, fraudulent employment agencies, and false promises of education and jobs.

    Common Forms of Human Trafficking

    • Approximately 45.8 million people are trapped in modern slavery worldwide.
    • A majority of victims in transnational trafficking are female, with half being children.
    • Categories include:

      • Sexual Exploitation: This is the most common form, estimated at 58% involving males and females, adults and children, often in sexual industries like prostitution, pornography, and sex work. This includes different forms of servitude, recruitment into the sex industry, and forced prostitution, pornography, child sex rings.

      • Labour Exploitation: Forced labor is pervasive in several sectors and many situations. Forced labor is characterized as work demanded by force, threat of punishment, coercion, deception, or violence. It often includes agriculture, fishing, services like hospitality and transport, domestic work, construction, mining, and manufacturing. Bonded labor, a type of enslavement, also falls into this category when people work to pay off inherited or incurred debts.

      • Child Trafficking: Global estimates show 30-50% of trafficking victims are children, often subjected to child labor, child pornography, and other exploitative situations. Children may be lured into these circumstances with promises of a better life.

      • Organ Trafficking: This involves abduction or deception to remove bodily organs for transplants—reportedly happening in some regions. Victims include executed prisoners, or impoverished individuals.

    Root Causes of Trafficking

    • Poverty: Extreme poverty makes people vulnerable, especially during crises including pandemics.
    • Lack of education and legitimate work: Without education and legitimate job opportunities, people are more likely to become victims.
    • Social and cultural factors: Cultural factors that can devalue women, and girls, children are a common driver for trafficking.
    • Disruptions and conflict: Disruptions, including conflict, create vulnerable individuals and situations.
    • Demand for cheap goods and services: Consumerism creates high demand, driving corporations to look for cheap labor causing exploitation.
