Human trafficking is a rising concern which involves trade of human for various purposes like sex, slavery and forced labor. It is very unfortunate that even with developing technologies and security systems around the world there is ever increasing trade of especially women and children mostly from developing countries.
According to the International Labor Organization around millions of people are victims of trafficking. Basically author says that root cause of human trafficking is poverty. Developing countries use women and children as their investment, sell them for prostitution and slavery at very less money to developed countries. The money they get from developed countries increases economy of the developing country. All this happens because of globalization, globalization increases more number of criminals and criminal activities. World’s economy increases due to globalization. The needy people mostly become victims as they easily get attracted to the fake advertisements regarding jobs posted by predators and victims get trapped in their tricks. Many preventive measures and protection measures are taken to remove the root cause of trafficking like giving education, anti-trafficking laws enforcement, but still predators always play safe and stay one step ahead of laws. They are having such a strong network that they don’t get easily caught and human trafficking continues.
