Human trafficking is a international crime. Jamaica kicked
off a two day seminar on human trafficking lead by the OCID. This seminar will
hopefully put a dent in the human trafficking crimes. In Jamaica, they will be going around to
schools, churches, and other organizations to help make the public aware of
this horrible crime and warn them on some of the red flags of human
trafficking. They will especially be
warning children because children can easily become victims. Also they will be
warning them of online predators who might lure the children into activities
that they never thought they would do. Some red flags of human trafficking are:
being paid below minimum wage, bad work conditions, not having control over
your own movement, and inhumane conditions. Human trafficking is human slavery.
Human trafficking gets about $32 billion per year worldwide. 10 to 30 million
people are victims of human trafficking.
Human trafficking is a global social issue. It is a crime that
should not be taken lightly. Human trafficking is the modern day slavery. Tons
of people are sexually exploited and/or forced into labor. Children can easily
get sucked into this crime. I am glad that this article was written. It is
important that more people are aware of what is going on in the world. This is
a international problem. People need to be aware of the red flags of human
trafficking so hopefully they can prevent themselves from getting into it. Human
trafficking needs to be stopped and hopefully this conference will help put a
dent in it.
