Human and Sex Trafficking

Continue to plague the whole world. Several folk in the US, such as Hillary Clinton are speaking out against working (specifically in terms of trade agreements) with countries that are ignoring the growing instances of sex/human traffic.

UNICEF reports that, each year, about 1 million children are sold or otherwise recruited into this criminal business. Sex trafficking is believed to be growing the fastest in Central and Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union. In Asia, girls from villages in Nepal and Bangladesh — the majority of whom are under 18 — are sold to brothels in India for $1,000. The European Policy Agency estimates that the industry is now worth several billion dollars a year.
Democratic Party Senator Hillary Clinton says the United States will not tolerate those nations that turn a blind-eye to what she calls “a scourge”.
“Any country that does not respect and treat their women and children with dignity is a country that United States is likely to have a problem with.”

I hear that, but what about trafficking in the States. It is a big problem as well.
Federal officials say 14,500 to 17,500 of them are trafficked to the United States, where the myriad forms of modern-day slavery present an elusive target for those trying to eradicate it.
Victims have come from at least 50 countries in almost every part of the world and are trafficked to virtually every state – to clandestine factories, restaurants, farms, massage parlors, even private homes where women and girls are kept in servitude.
Any country is more like every country. The worst is many of the women that are caught in the States are treated like undocumented illegals and we all know how that goes down.
