To what extent could legal reforms ease the effects of loopholes in the…

- - - - Human trafficking goes against all of our human rights
    - - If we don’t solve this problem now this can be our normal in the future; just another business we gte money from.
      - “Human trafficking victims make an alarmingly high number of consumer goods and food products, imported to the United States and produced domestically.”Contribute to the United States economy.
        
        “As economies around the world integrate, it is faster and easier for goods produced with forced labor to enter the global market.” The better the economy is the more that work is being put in from forced labor from human trafficking.

- - - - After the cold war that's when human trafficking became a big global problem.
      - “The Chinese began arriving in the United States in significant numbers in the mid-1800s. They were drawn to the United States by the promise of lucrative jobs associated with the California Gold Rush and the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad.” The United States started human trafficking chinese women to work for them.
        Goff, Preston.
        
        The united states started human trafficking with the Chinese.
        
        Sale, Not For.
        
        Following the Transatlantic Slave Trade era, the mid-19th century witnessed the emergence of new forms of human trafficking, involving Chinese immigrants in the United States. America practiced their own human trafficking for their benefits.
        
        “Many Chinese men were trafficked for labor, enduring harsh conditions and severe exploitation in various industries.” This was during the gold rush so the demand for labor was high.
        
        “Simultaneously, Chinese women were often coerced into prostitution..” Americans would exploit Chinese women.
- - - - So therefore we have to increase the protection of children that are in foster care.
      - Funding is available to conduct community outreach where trafficking survivors may dwell, to train public and community personnel who may encounter trafficking survivors and to provide human services, such as case management, legal assistance, benefits advocacy, housing and employment assistance (pg 123) Shigekane, Rachel.
        
        We have to train the public we have to provide legal assistance to
        
        In other words, until recently there has been limited prosecution or attention paid to this particular crime, and penalties for those engaged in human trafficking were trivial (Bales, 2000, 2005; Hyland, 200 (pg 6) LOGAN, T. K.,
        
        Which makes traffickers continue to commit the crime because they know nothing really serious will happen.
        
        Despite the security implications of human trafficking, convictions for trafficking offenses are rare, programs focused on prevention and protection are under-resourced, and most efforts to address human trafficking are detached from broader conflict-prevention, security, and counterterrorism initiatives.”( pg2 ) Bigio, Jamille, and Rachel Vogelstein
        
        We have to start focusing on where human trafficking happens and why it's not progressing. We have to enforce laws and regulations on specific things. The United States is focused on the wrong things.
        
        “...encourage troop-contributing countries to hold accountable peacekeepers who perpetrate sexual exploitation;collect intelligence on human trafficking in locations where it already tracks drug and arms trafficking; and lead by example by ensuring that its policies on migration and asylum disincentivize trafficking and sup-port its victims”( pg2) Bigio, Jamille, and Rachel Vogelstein
        
        Government officials are sometimes complicit in human trafficking: they help traffickers recruit, transport, and exploit victims, and corrupt criminal justice authorities impede prosecutions or fail to provide victims with adequate protection.Bigio, Jamille, and Rachel Vogelstein
    - - “One way in which the United States can help curb human trafficking is improving border security.” ( Pg 1 ) We need to improve border security because…
        “In the U.S., immigrants, especially immigrant women, make up the largest portion of trafficking victims.” This shows how little protected borders are and how subjective they are to human trafficking.
- - - - Human trafficking victims do rigorous tasks forcefully, which is a violation of human rights. It’s cruel and tormentous.
      - “These victims are deceived by false promises of love, a good job, or a stable life and are lured or forced into situations where they are made to work under deplorable conditions with little or no pay.” DEA United States Drug Enforcement Administration,
        
        These victims doesn't know what they're getting themselves into
        
        As a result, survivors of domestic violence exhibit trauma symptoms including depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance abuse, somatization and post-traumatic stress disorder.100 (pg 127) Shigekane, Rachel.
        
        In reality, many traffickers use tactics of coercion, threats and manipulation… Winn, Michael.
        
        This leads to the thing victim's may face after surviving --------------------->
        
        The survivors experience symptoms of long-term psychological trauma. Women and girls trafficked into the sex industry often report depression, feelings of hopelessness, and "numbness" leaving them unable to feel. Others describe difficulty sleeping, and feeling easily startled, on guard, worthless, being trapped, paranoid, and ashamed. (pg 118) Shigekane, Rachel
        
        Human trafficking leads to many different things in a victims that isn't just a simple fix.
- - - - Why is “awareness” so critical? Because it is very difficult for trafficking victims to come forward. They often find themselves physically and socially isolated in an unfamiliar culture, unable to speak or understand the language, without valid immigration papers and intimidated by their traffickers. For these reasons, they fear reaching out to law enforcement officers, health providers or others who would be in a position to help them. “Human Trafficking: Why Awareness Matters.”
        
        This is why we need to educate the public as well as implementing laws. Both will cause and big
        difference in human trafficking.
    - - If our policy makers aren't educated on the topic how are we supposed to enforce better laws to help the people struggling. That's why everyone needs to stay educated.
      - Although there is increasing media and policy attention to this issue, it is still a crime that receives relatively little public outrage—almost rising to the level of
        national denial—as if slavery, which is the essence of human trafficking, could not possibly exist in this democracy. (pg 4)
