The Definition of Human Trafficking Human trafficking is an offence whereby males and females are forced into labour and sexual activities, transported to various places and exploited into various activities without their consent. There is a strong need to combat human trafficking because this is a crime by which the basic human rights of a person are compromised. As defined by our notes “Human trafficking refers to the exploitation of people's labour, by way of the recruitment, transport, and receipt and harbouring of people." Although both males and females are victims of human trafficking, the primary victims have been women and girls, who are trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Traffickers single out poor women and girls due to their vulnerable status with little education and employment opportunities. ” While acknowledging potential problems, it is also important to accept that no legal definition of trafficking, no matter how carefully constructed, can ever be expected to respond fully to the shades and complexities of the real world. The distinction that has been created in international law between trafficking in persons on the one hand and smuggling of migrants on the other is a clear example of such a restriction. Ways in Which Human Trafficking Takes Place A classic example would be of a teenage girl who wants to work hard and is genuine about earning a living or helping her family. An older man “befriends” her and fools her into believing that he can help her with a greener future. He then seduces the young girl and takes her abroad with a promise to get her a job in a decent place. To the girl’s shock she finds herself sold to a partner in crime who is usually a pimp and this person takes her to a brothel house. Often physical force is used to compel the victim into doing prostitution and her documents are confiscated. In this example, human trafficking is better defined because it identifies the person who befriends the victim and all other partners in crime who contribute to this gruesome and unacceptable act. The crime of human trafficking involves a number of types of crimes and tortures such as false imprisonment, deception, betrayal, assault, rape, slavery-like employment practices and so forth. This allows us to identify the man who befriended and betrayed the girl, and all those who conspired with him along the way, as fully implicated in her abuse. It is also sometimes said that women and children are more prone or vulnerable to such abuses because they are less able to resist when criminal organizations control the whole process of transporting victims, sexually exploiting them and having connections all over the world. The fictional value of the concept ‘trafficking’ is that is can include abuse, illegal migration, assault and exploitation in various ways. Another way in which children are exploited is by the making and use of ammunition and the dealings involving prohibited drugs. As made aware through various means of media communication, often tourists are targeted and lured into drug dealin
