Human trafficking and modern day slavery is raging rampantly again in the USA. The Government of the United States of America is passing laws that complement Human trafficking and Slavery as of right now. Bush Did it! Now Obama wants to do it even more! IT MUST BE STOPPED!
America is creating a second Class Citizen. There are nearly 17,000 to 20,000 people Trafficked into America Annually to work. There are 30,000 slaves being sold to other countries through America. While the numbers for sex workers are even higher, and are nearly undetectable, Something near 155,000 to 500,000. Reports state that there are somewhere between 10-27 million people living in slavery world wide.
The DOJ (Department Of Justice) has Prosecuted ninety-one slave trade cases in cities across the United States in nearly every state of the Nation. Cases of human trafficking have Also been reported in all 50 states, Washington D.C. , and some U.S. territories. Victims of human trafficking can be children or adults, U.S. citizens or foreign nationals, male or female.
Human trafficking victims usually suffer physical and emotional abuse, rape, threats against self and family, document theft, and even death. Human trafficking effects all nations. It effects public safety and public health. After the recent swine flu out break, I encourage all of my readers to place sanctions against the USA for Human Trafficking Violations.
It is very important to note forced labor is a form of human trafficking that can be harder to identify this is because it may not involve the same criminal networks profiting from sexual exploitation. The Sex Trade is not always as profitable as the modern day Slave trade.
In Brazil, Human Trafficking is considered an Act Of War! Nations like Brazil are taking measures to combat human trafficking. In fact After 911, We need a commission to look into Human Trafficking cases in America. The Growing threat of Global Poverty will ensure new Human trafficking Violations and create new networks for the modern day slave movement.
What needs to be done is to Educate Law enforcement about the dangers and how to spot human trafficking victims. Stop the Undocumented worker hate speech, This will only lead to more murders and more conflicts in America. This can lead to a World Conflict. THIS CAN NOT BE EMPHASISED ENOUGH.
The International Labour Organisation (ILO) Estimates that $32 billion is generated annually from human trafficking worldwide. This has made human trafficking one of the fastest growing illegal businesses after arms and drugs.
The USA just Recently labeled All of these countries on the list of Human Trafficking violators. Angola, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Iraq, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Pakistan, the Philippines, Qatar, Senegal and the United Arab Emirates. Also in the list of violators, Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Zimbabwe, Chad, Eritrea, Mauritania, Niger, Swaziland, Sudan and Syria. The report also placed the Netherlands Antilles, a self governing Dutch territory on the violator list. Suspiciously Ghana was not on the list of countries that are currently new violators.
The Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Frank Adu-Poku, can be quoted as stating that "Ghana is known as an origin, a transit and a destination country as far as human trafficking is concerned".
Obama wants to donate 1.4 Billion to Ghana by 2010 to help fight poverty. This is 1.4 billion on the tax payer. I wonder how much of that money will go to combat human trafficking. As we know War lords are known to steel money and aid and Nigeria is having a battle over oil right now. Is this strategy right in helping the people of Ghana? Should we be dependent on foreign oil while trying to combat human trafficking? Shouldn't we be donating to the task force!
Anyway Thanks for reading my blog guys
