Question 2. How Does Human Trafficking Work?

How does this so called “business” actually work/operate?
Firstly, the Traffickers persuade( deceive) their victims with promise of work and or a better life. The victims then pay their “employers” a form of debt in order to pay transportation and and living arrangements. Then when the victims arrive they find that everything is not what it seems. The job they were promised doesn’t exist and the living conditions are horrible. However, sense they already payed these traffickers the traffickers hold that against them and force them pay of their debt or longer. However, the traffickers either pay their "employees" very little or nothing at all, making it impossible to pay of their debt. Also, their documents are often taken away so they don't have a way to go back home or proof of identity. Plus, the traffickers threaten coerce their victims so they won’t/ can’t leave. Such as, threatening the lives of their loved ones. The traffickers often keep their victims under lock and key with seemed guard supervision, the guards can become very violent if anyone tries to escape. Along with these methods of trafficking, some traffickers also kidnap their victims. After the traffickers have their worker they then use tactics like abuse, rape, drug administration, and or food and sleep deprivation to condition and control their victims.

Understanding how human trafficking works can help us gain a better understanding of the topic and the wrongfulness of this illegal business. Knowing this will later us help us to answer the main question of, why is human trafficking such an important issue in our current world today?
