Each video, photo, and website I found and added to my padlet relate to human trafficking and more specifically to sex trafficking/slavery. This may be a very sensitive topic to all and especially the survivors of sex trafficking. A lot of the topics covered in the course were touchy subjects. All the topics related back to woman and how certain subjects affect woman more than men. Sex trafficking relates more to woman than it does to men. 55% of people affected by sex trafficking are woman. It is important to be aware of each topic discussed and how it can affected someone in many different ways.

This website supplies a lot of information and statistics about human trafficking. Has statistics about modern-day slavery, human trafficking by gender, age, by industry, as well as domestic vs international trafficking. It is very interesting to see the different rankings of each scale. The website also has information and definitions on what human trafficking is and the different kinds. This is a great source because it also has the option of subscribing, and getting involved with fundraising and helping put a stop to human trafficking!

Given the hidden nature of human trafficking, it is almost impossible to understand the full scope and scale of the issue.

Amongst the most trusted sources for understanding the global situation is the research by the International Labour Organization (ILO).

According to the latest report on forced labour by the ILO:

An estimated 40.3 million victims are trapped in modern-day slavery.

Of these:

24.9 million were exploited for labour.

15.4 million were in forced marriage.

There are 5.4 victims of modern slavery for every 1,000 people in the world.

Breakdown

Human trafficking and modern slavery do not discriminate; they affect men and women of all ages.

By Gender

71% of trafficking victims around the world are women and girls and 29% are men and boys.

By Age

30.2 million victims (75%) are aged 18 or older, with the number of children under the age of 18 estimated at 10.1 million (25%).

37% victims of trafficking in forced marriage were children.

21% victims of sexual exploitation were children.

By Industry

Forced labour takes place in many different industries.

While every industry is susceptible, those highlighted in the report are broken down as follows:

16 million (64%) forced labour victims work in domestic work, construction or agriculture.

4.8 million (19%) persons in forced sexual exploitation.

4 million (16%) persons in forced labour imposed by state authorities.

Debt Bondage

Debt bondage affected half of all victims of forced labour imposed by private actors. Debt bondage is used as a method of control and prevents trafficking victims from escaping.

This website was very scary and shocking to read. There are 13 different stories on this website, and they are all survivors of human trafficking. Reading these stories was very heartbreaking and upsetting that it happens to so many people and the damage it could do to someone.

Until the age of 20, Phalla lived a relatively normal life in Cambodia. After her father died, with no one to support her family, she was forced to move in with her grandmother.

About two months after she'd arrived, her grandmother drove her into a nearby city, Kampong Som, and sold her to a brothel. Phalla didn't realize this until several days after she'd arrived. At the brothel, she was locked in a room and raped several times a day. This was was her reality for the next several months, being sold from one brothel to another.

Then, she met a man who helped her back to her native Cambodia. It seemed like a new lease on life, but she was soon put to work in a karaoke bar, and her employers sold her to foreign tourists for days at a time. When she tried to leave, she was beaten. It took several more months before she was able to gain her captor's confidence, escape, and turn herself over to authorities.

In this video the guy discusses the different types of human trafficking. The two most common are sex trafficking and labour trafficking. There are more slaves now then there have ever been in history. This video shows how slavery is a much more severe problem then you would think. It is even more serious in todays society, and should be recognized.

I chose this photo because it displays different percentages of human trafficking. Sex trafficking is the number one type of human trafficking. 20 million people around the world are affected by human trafficking, 55% of these people are woman, and 26% are children. It is important to be aware of these numbers and we should do everything we can to prevent the numbers from increasing. It disgusts me how high the number of people that are affected by human trafficking. This relates to the course because it is a higher percentage of woman that are being victimized and the course is all about woman around the globe.

I chose this photo mainly because of the sign the woman is holding. This woman is sending out a message that "woman are not for sale" you cannot sell woman for sex. I like this photo because of the meaning behind it; every woman has their right to say no and be their own individual voices.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason I chose this photo is because of the quote that is on it. "I got upset when I realized what he was doing, but I kept doing it because he made me feel like I was special." It is wrong to do something so awful to someone yet making them feel so special. Some woman can be very in denial and naive when it comes to things so serious. I think it is important for these woman to be aware of an abusive relationship and to protect themselves.

This is a great video that explains what sex trafficking really is. It is more than just the social media representations. Trafficking meaning forced work, someone who is forced to work in the sex industry against his or her own will is considered sex trafficking. Meghan also explains that woman are not the only victims of sex trafficking but men as well. She then tells a story about a boy that was a victim of sex trafficking. Further into the video she discusses what we can do which is acknowledging how these is a social and economic problem. I thought this was a very interesting video because she discusses sex trafficking in a different perspective then how others picture it which is being tied up and raped.

This video I found on youtube is very important in regards to sex trafficking in woman. This is a woman from Mexico that tells her personal story. Her boyfriend of 3 months turns out to be a pimp and made her prostitute for 4 years straight without a day off. Trafficked her across Mexico demanding she sees at least 30 costumers a day and by age 16 she had been raped 43, 200 times. This is very sickening to me and I believe something needs to be done to prevent this from happening because no one deserves this to happen to them.
