SUB-TOPIC 1: MEANING OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Trafficking means trading in something that is illegal and unlawful to sell. Human trafficking can be defined as an illegal act of recruiting or trading on person(s) for the purpose of commercial exploitation. Human trafficking is an infringement on the fundamental human rights of those trafficked. According to George Bush, former president of United State of America, Human life is the gift of our creator, and it should never be for sale. The vulnerable groups in this are children, women, young girls and sometimes boys or men for the purpose of making economic gains, finding cheap labour and for sexual exploitation.

In the year 2000, a comprehensive definition of human trafficking was signed by 80 countries and the European Union as was mandated by the United Nations Convention Against transactional organized crimes.

PURPOSE OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING

The purpose of human trafficking is making economic gains, finding cheap labour and for sexual exploitation. The victims are made to believe that they will be sent to schools, secure well-paid jobs, engage in lucrative businesses overseas which will improve their standard of living. Unfortunately, these victims will soon find themselves doing degrading jobs such as domestic works, child labour, forced labour, prostitution, begging and servile marriage and are sometimes later sold out by their fake husbands. According to the United Nations, trafficking of human beings is now the third largest source of money for organized crimes after arms and drugs.
