...My school and I went to a play called Among the Shadows. It was about human trafficking and slavery. There are more than 20 million victims of human trafficking around the world. The play I saw showed a dance performance of human trafficking and slavery. President Obama gave a speech in 2012 showing how this is still a problem today. He says human trafficking is modern slavery. Little kids are being kidnapped around the world. According to Obama some are forced to be child soldiers, some are in prison and turned into sex slaves. Some of this is even happening in the United States. Among the Shadows started with a girl, and her parents did not care about her. All they wanted to do was drink and party. She felt like no one loved or cared...

...The commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age. When I say sex trafficking, what image does your mind conjure? A female from a developing country being snatched off the street, shipped around the world and living in the back of a massage parlor being manipulated into doing sexual favors to eat? Although unfortunately, this story is extremely common, many sex trafficking victims are US-born children. Why do we know more about our president's obnoxious tweets, than children being sold into sex slavery on Polk or O'farrell street? Why can’t the people of The United States and more specifically San Francisco attack sex trafficking the same way...

...Human Trafficking in the United States Human trafficking has been an ongoing issue in the United States affecting millions of innocent lives each day. The practice of this so called modern slavery has evolved in a completely inhumane way and it is an activity as old as history itself. Our society is one where the atrocious beatings owners gave their slaves are considered history. We live in a society that knows little about the severity of a crime that is still alive today and that is gaining momentum around the world. Human trafficking for sexual and economic exploitation is related to the development model that adopts the world. This model is based on an understanding of competitiveness that pushes a steady reduction in labor costs. In the past, slaves were captured by enemy groups and sold as a commodity. Today, poverty makes people socially vulnerable while ensuring supply of skilled labor for trafficking - while the demand for this workforce maintains the trade of people. This cycle attracts intermediaries such as "cats" (contractors who draw people to be exploited on farms and charcoal), the "coyotes" (who specialize in transporting people across the border between Mexico and the United States) and other "animals" that profit on those seeking a better life. This is a trade that takes place around the world, involving women, youth and children from third world countries. Many of them trying to escape from a life of poverty and war in an attempt to reach the...

...between various interests within a society. These theories focus on power struggles and typically view the less fortunate and less powerful as victims. They see crime victims as exploited and as the prey of the strong and powerful. Changes in laws and economic conditions are often the remedies they seek for victims.” (Hutton, 2009) The feminist perspective will integrate gender into the equation as a means to explain the occurrence of crime. According to Dr. Erica Hutton, who is a full time Professor and Forensic Psychologist in Angola, Indiana, “Effective policy implications include approaching the criminal justice system from an angle that examines the gender inequalities within sentencing and treatment as well as within the human resource aspects of hiring candidates that are not masculine within a predominantly masculine organization.” (Hutton, 2009) “With respect to domestic violence, Congress received evidence for the following findings: 1.) “Three out of four American women will be victims of violent crimes sometime during their life.” H. R. Rep. No. 103—395 p. 25 (1993) (citing U.S. Dept. of Justice, Report to the Nation on Crime and Justice 29 (2d ed. 1988). 2.) “Violence is the leading...

...Pornography falls under speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. McKinnon argues that pornography allows depiction of male dominance and female subordination and reinforces misogyny. Under this interpretation of legal feminism pornography should be outlawed to ensure sexist values do not continue to be displayed and grown. The protection of pornography is another avenue that traffickers use in order to make money off of their victims both of age and under age. Pornography gives no benefit to society except for the pockets of businesses who sell the product in mass quantities. The Trafficking Victims Protections Act of 2000 (TVPA) was the first national legislation enacted to fight human trafficking within the United...

...“Slavery is something from the past,” most people think this way. However, human trafficking is the modern-day slavery. No matter how much the namings differ, it has the same concept. It is the crime of smuggling, fraud, selling of humans or their living organs and threating its victims. Crimes have been all around us, ranging from big to small, but not as serious as this one; especially that it became more extreme after the rise of technologies.
