Beware of Trafficking!

It is sad but true – nowadays, the amount of crime acts in the world has been constantly increasing. People dare to hurt and violate others – even in public – only to get what they want. Stealing, murder, corruption, bank robs, illegal trading, etc. happens more and more frequently, especially for the crimes that torture and abandon the victim’s human rights. Those crimes should be banned and should be given strict laws and sanction for the criminals.

 

One of the examples of crimes which torture and abandon human rights – and also is in the verge of crime trend – is trafficking. Trafficking is the illegal trade of human beings for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation or forced labor. To make it simple, trafficking can be said to be ‘modern day slavery’.

In the case of trafficking, the criminal would form a team that consist of people from different cities or even from different countries – they tricked innocent people in the streets by offering jobs that seems ensuring the future, or even the criminal would kidnap the victim without even letting the victim have a chance of running away, and of course they intend to send him/her to a place they didn’t know and ‘sell’ him/her to someone they don’t know. Then, the victim is forced to work for someone who the criminal worked with, without even a payment – and all the money goes to the criminals.
In order to prevent trafficking to happen to us, we have to avoid walking alone in a narrow, abandoned street. We have to be aware of the situations of the place we went to. Make sure that we have quite many friends to accompany us when we go out, especially for girls. Also, it is better to avoid talking to strangers who approached us, strangely being nice to us.
