The CNN Freedom Project – Children for Sale — FULL Documentary

Human trafficking is a heinous crime that involves the exploitation of individuals for the purpose of forced labor, sexual exploitation, or other forms of exploitation. It is a complex and multifaceted issue that has grave human rights implications. Here are some key points about human trafficking:

  1. Definition: Human trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of persons by means of threat, use of force or deception, or other forms of coercion or deception, for the purpose of exploitation. It can involve both cross-border and domestic trafficking, and victims can be men, women, or children.

  2. Forms of exploitation: Human trafficking can involve various forms of exploitation, including forced labor, sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, forced marriage, forced begging, organ trafficking, and other forms of exploitation. Victims may be coerced or deceived into labor or commercial sexual exploitation, and their basic human rights are often violated.

  3. Victims: Human trafficking victims can come from diverse backgrounds and vulnerable populations, including but not limited to, women, children, migrants, refugees, indigenous people, persons with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Poverty, lack of education, political instability, discrimination, and other social and economic factors can increase vulnerability to trafficking.

  4. Traffickers: Human trafficking is perpetrated by individuals, criminal networks, or organized crime syndicates who exploit vulnerabilities and profit from the exploitation of others. Traffickers may use force, fraud, or coercion to recruit and exploit victims, and they may operate across borders or within a country.

  5. Impact: Human trafficking has severe consequences for victims, including physical and psychological harm, loss of freedom and autonomy, and violation of human rights. Victims may suffer from trauma, injuries, sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancies, and other health issues. Trafficking also undermines social and economic development, erodes human rights, and perpetuates inequality and injustice.

  6. Prevention and response: Combating human trafficking requires a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary approach that involves prevention, protection, prosecution, and partnership among governments, civil society, international organizations, and other stakeholders. This includes raising awareness, strengthening laws and law enforcement, providing support and services to victims, addressing root causes of trafficking, and promoting cooperation and coordination among countries and regions.

  7. Human rights perspective: Human trafficking is a grave violation of human rights, including the right to life, liberty, and security of person; the right to freedom from slavery, forced labor, and exploitation; the right to work in just and favorable conditions; the right to freedom of movement; and the right to access to justice and remedies. A human rights-based approach is essential to prevent and combat human trafficking and protect the rights and dignity of victims.

In conclusion, human trafficking is a serious crime that involves the exploitation of individuals and violates their human rights. It is a complex issue that requires a comprehensive response from various stakeholders to prevent trafficking, protect victims, and prosecute traffickers. A human rights-based approach is critical to combatting human trafficking and promoting dignity, freedom, and justice for all individuals.

1 Sex trafficking in Nigeria | DW Documentary

         IMPORTANT CONTENT

21 aug. 2020

Nigeria is plagued by human trafficking. Young women are lured to Europe by false promises. When they get to the EU, they are violently forced into prostitution and kept in debt. An escape is almost impossible.

Many young Nigerian women are drawn to the European Union by promises of good incomes and secure work, but they often pay a high price. The young women and their families go into debt to pay human traffickers for the journey. Once they are in Europe, the women are forced into prostitution rather than working as hairdressers or maids. The organized crime cartels behind this grim trade not only coerce the women and force them to work off their debts, they also threaten to kill their families back in Nigeria. But human rights campaigners say that the trafficking could not survive at all without willing customers.

Since the end of the brutal Khmer Rouge rule, poverty, corruption and global tourism have all made it particularly vulnerable to the child labour industry.

26 The Real Sex Traffic (Crime Documentary) | Real Stories

12 okt. 2017

An estimated half million women are trafficked annually for the purpose of sexual slavery. They are “exported” to over 50 countries including Britain, Italy, Japan, Germany, Israel, Turkey, China, Kosovo, Canada and the United States. Misunderstood and widely tolerated, sex trafficking has become a multi- billion dollar underground industry. According to the International Herald Tribune, human trafficking is the fastest growing form of organized crime in Eastern Europe. Kidnapped and/or lured by those who prey on their dreams, their poverty, and their naiveté, Eastern European women are trafficked to foreign lands — often with falsified visas — where they become modern day sex slaves. Upon arrival, they are sold to pimps, drugged, terrorized, caged in brothels and raped repeatedly. For these women and young girls, there is no life, no liberty and no chance for a happy and meaningful future.

The Real Sex Traffic takes us to “ground zero” of the sex trade – Moldova and Ukraine – where traffickers effortlessly find vulnerable women desperate to go abroad and earn some money. The film focuses on the remarkable story of Viorel, a Ukrainian man on a mission to find his pregnant, trafficked wife in Turkey. Our hidden cameras follow Viorel as he travels to Turkey; his only lead the telephone number of the pimp who, he believes, has Katia in his possession. To secure his wife’s release, after days of desperate efforts, Viorel poses as a trafficker and sets out to buy his wife back. We follow Viorel to his meeting with Katia’s captor and from there into the world of trafficked women.

Interwoven with Viorel’s story, we meet other victims, traffickers and the families that have been torn apart by the trade in human flesh. This film is the first film to have a convicted trafficker talk openly about how trafficking works, and how women are coerced into sexual slavery. With hidden cameras, we watch as traffickers move people across borders with impunity and expose how easy it is to purchase a modern day sex slave. Sex Traffic also takes us to England and Canada where we find victims who tell harrowing tales of being repeatedly sold from country to country. Hiding her identity to protect her life, “Natasha” shares her heart wrenching story of being bought and sold from Romania to Italy and on to Germany and Belgium. Her final stop was Britain where she was put to work in a north London sauna. “Natasha” was finally freed from her nightmare in a police raid, a year after her abduction. For her part, “Eva” thought she was getting a job as a nanny in Toronto until her handlers took her from the airport to a strip club and forced her to work off her “debt”, i.e., her purchase price, before she could be set free. Sex Traffic explores the global trafficking problem through personal stories and unfettered access to traffickers and the people they use as human chattel. The documentary captures both the investigative story and the human story behind the headlines. From the villages of Moldova and Ukraine, to underground brothels and discotheques, we witness firsthand the brutal world of white sex slavery.

37 Human Trafficking Survivor Story: Dellena, California

20 jun. 2012

Add your name to support the CASE Act against human trafficking and online predators: http://www.caseact.org/

In California, many vulnerable women and young girls are held against their will and forced to sell their bodies. The victims are often girls as young as 12 who are sexually exploited for the financial gain of human traffickers. They are afraid for their lives and abused — sexually, physically, and mentally.

Human trafficking is said to be one of the fastest growing criminal enterprises in the world — and it is taking place right here in our own backyard. Three cities in California — San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego — are recognized by the FBI as high intensity child sex trafficking areas. In addition, a recent national study by a victims’ rights group gave California an “F” grade for its weak laws dealing with child sex trafficking.

The CASE Act, a partnership of California Against Slavery and the Safer California Foundation, will protect children in California by:

Increasing prison terms for human traffickers.
Requiring convicted sex traffickers to register as sex offenders.
Requiring all registered sex offenders to disclose their internet accounts.
Requiring criminal fines from convicted human traffickers to pay for services to help victims.

The CASE Act has also been endorsed by organizations representing over 90,000 rank and file California Peace Officers, advocates for the protection of children, including Marc Klaas and the KlaasKids Foundation, and victims who survived sexual exploitation when they were children.

56 The Billion Dollar Industry Of Sex Trafficking (Crime Documentary) | Real Stories

Back to menu

12 okt. 2017

An estimated half million women are trafficked annually for the purpose of sexual slavery. They are “exported” to over 50 countries including Britain, Italy, Japan, Germany, Israel, Turkey, China, Kosovo, Canada and the United States. Misunderstood and widely tolerated, sex trafficking has become a multi- billion dollar underground industry. According to the International Herald Tribune, human trafficking is the fastest growing form of organized crime in Eastern Europe. Kidnapped and/or lured by those who prey on their dreams, their poverty, and their naiveté, Eastern European women are trafficked to foreign lands — often with falsified visas — where they become modern day sex slaves. Upon arrival, they are sold to pimps, drugged, terrorized, caged in brothels and raped repeatedly. For these women and young girls, there is no life, no liberty and no chance for a happy and meaningful future.

The Real Sex Traffic takes us to “ground zero” of the sex trade – Moldova and Ukraine – where traffickers effortlessly find vulnerable women desperate to go abroad and earn some money. The film focuses on the remarkable story of Viorel, a Ukrainian man on a mission to find his pregnant, trafficked wife in Turkey. Our hidden cameras follow Viorel as he travels to Turkey; his only lead the telephone number of the pimp who, he believes, has Katia in his possession. To secure his wife’s release, after days of desperate efforts, Viorel poses as a trafficker and sets out to buy his wife back. We follow Viorel to his meeting with Katia’s captor and from there into the world of trafficked women.

Interwoven with Viorel’s story, we meet other victims, traffickers and the families that have been torn apart by the trade in human flesh. This film is the first film to have a convicted trafficker talk openly about how trafficking works, and how women are coerced into sexual slavery. With hidden cameras, we watch as traffickers move people across borders with impunity and expose how easy it is to purchase a modern day sex slave. Sex Traffic also takes us to England and Canada where we find victims who tell harrowing tales of being repeatedly sold from country to country. Hiding her identity to protect her life, “Natasha” shares her heart wrenching story of being bought and sold from Romania to Italy and on to Germany and Belgium. Her final stop was Britain where she was put to work in a north London sauna. “Natasha” was finally freed from her nightmare in a police raid, a year after her abduction. For her part, “Eva” thought she was getting a job as a nanny in Toronto until her handlers took her from the airport to a strip club and forced her to work off her “debt”, i.e., her purchase price, before she could be set free. Sex Traffic explores the global trafficking problem through personal stories and unfettered access to traffickers and the people they use as human chattel. The documentary captures both the investigative story and the human story behind the headlines. From the villages of Moldova and Ukraine, to underground brothels and discotheques, we witness firsthand the brutal world of white sex slavery.
