JOURNAL 8

           The student poses an important issue in society. I never thought of human trafficking as slavery but after reading the paper, it makes sense to define them as one terrible existence. I do not feel like there are too many laws out there to protect victims of slavery. The government should be strict about these crimes of slavery because it regards human life. A large number of people are being tricked everyday about how they would receive more opportunities if they left their families and go with the strangers who convince them of these “modelling jobs”. These people are naïve and they need the government to impose strict laws and actually care about the issue of human trafficking. People are being abused and violated of their natural rights because they are locked up and treated like sex slaves.

These criminals who are smuggling people here should be punished harshly so it could set as an example to other people who are thinking of committing the crime. I don’t agree that the girl who was saved, was arrested to prostitution because I see her as a victim. She did not give her consent to be raped by several men, she simply was lied to and led thinking that she was going to be a model. The people who committed the sexual acts with her should be the ones severly punished so that the world can know this is a serious crime. I agree with the student that there needs to be laws that are effective on preventing sex trafficking.
