Human Trafficking is recruitment, control and use of people for their bodies and labor. People all over the world, are being bought and sold against their will. Through force, fraud and coercion criminals are able to get rich at the expense of a human life.
That’s happening right now, in the 21st century! There are MILLIONS of slaves in the world today. That’s more than ever before in human history, but we don’t hear much about it. Unfortunately, only 1% of human trafficking victims are rescued, and 99% of people who are enslaved right now, will NEVER be free. Unless we do something.
Trafficking is a 150 billion dollar industry. It’s the fastest growing criminal industry in the world. Trafficking includes sex trafficking, forced labor, bonded labor, involuntarily domestic servitude, and child soldiers.
Victims are trafficked is various methods. Methods like false job ads, by family members or a friend, abductions, and false immigration.
Here are some SIGNS to look out for:
- Controlled by another person
- There are physical abuse signs
- Controlled movements
- There’s a lack of earnings
- Substance abuse
- A lack of trust
- They are unfamiliar with the language
- They have a lack of personal belongings
- Signs of dependence
- They seem overly fearful, depressed and have submissive behaviour
- They’re in bad health and/or malnutrition
- A false job offer
- Feelings of being trapped
- There’s a lack of official documentation
If you suspect it REPORT IT. We can abolish slavery everywhere by speaking up for those who can’t!
See You in the Adventures!
