Human trafficking is an issue that affects a great number of countries across the world but is largely unknown or just not discussed. We decided to shed light on this global issue to expose the unjustly acts against humanity. What exactly are we dealing with? Wikipedia defines human trafficking as "the criminal commercial trade ('smuggling') of human beings who are subjected to involuntary acts such as begging, sexual exploitation (eg. prostitution, and forced marriage), or unfree labor ( involuntary servitude, or working in sweat shops)". It is apparent from this definition as well as the general consensus that human trafficking is more or less a modern form of slavery.
Throughout this forum, we will be posting entries that will further explore this issue and enlighten the general public on the common misconceptions. Please feel free to contribute to the discussion with replies, comments, opinions, and suggestions.
