Be The Change: Human Trafficking

Although trafficking in the United States is a very big problem in the United States, even though an estimated 100,000 children are sexually traded in the United States, people are not very aware of it. Trafficking in person is a criminal industry based on demand and supply. It requires cheap labor and commercial sex. Traffickers are those who are sacrificed by other people for their benefit. This market is growing rapidly because of the low risk of getting into trouble and the high profit.

The official policy statement on trafficking in the US says the National Social Workers Association, "NASW supports the public's awareness and advocacy for legislation and administrative reform to abolish trafficking and slavery in the United States and around the world, Efforts to occupy an important position in the media and the legislature (Social Work Speech, 2012, 314). We need to implement more policies, need to do more work on this issue, and make public and political In particular, as implemented in the policy section analyzed here, the implemented policies do not need to focus on groups of people, but nobody is interested in this unfairness It is because there is a possibility of being influenced.

The definition of trafficking by the United Nations (hereinafter also referred to as trafficking or trafficking in person) should be updated so as not to lag behind policies, plans, and related changes made over the past decade. The revised (contemporary) definition of trafficking, including the basic role of immigration and two processes (traditional and new) affect policy and practice, but research, theory and It is the same for research.

Currently there is no clear definition and agreement on the definition and measurement of trafficking. The most widely accepted definition of trafficking comes from the Protocol (known as the Palermo Protocol) to prevent, suppress and punish trafficking of people, especially women and children. However, in some countries the number of components is increasing beyond the original definition, especially in quantitative surveys, the international comparison is complicated. Scholars who conduct qualitative research expanded the range of activities covered by the definition of "trafficking in persons." However, this approach does not mean there are no obstacles such as contact with the victim or ethical and legal considerations.
