The Purpose

I hope from asking this question I get a deeper understanding of human trafficking, how it works, and what we as a society can do to help end human trafficking.

1. What is Human Trafficking? This is my first question because in order to understand why human trafficking is important you need to know what human trafficking is. This whole blog is based on human trafficking, therefore human trafficking should be explained in the blog. 
2. How does human trafficking work? Not only do we need to know what human trafficking is but also how it works. How do these traffickers get their trafficking victims and are able to do theses horrible things to these innocent people? Human trafficking is an illegal multi million dollar operation that affects millions of people all across the world. How is it "hidden" from the government and so hard to stop?
3. Who, why, and how many people does human trafficking affect? For it to be a world wide issue it needs to affect many people in the world. So who are these people, how many of them are out there and why are they being trafficked? 
4. What do people get trafficked for? What are traffickers forcing theses people to do and why? Its important to know what the "purpose" of human trafficking is because that might lead to where these victims might be and why its happening. 
5. Is human trafficking modern day slavery? to understand what, who, how, and why, it would help to know where it originated from. How did it start? who brought up this whole idea of human trafficking? There's only one other thing in history that relates to this issue and that's slavery. So is human trafficking slavery but with a different name?
6. How could we end human trafficking? If its a world wide issue, shouldn't it be stopped? There should never be millions of people suffering in our society. We are all equal and we all have the right to our basic human rights, so why are some people not treated like it? We as a society should have the conscious/need to want to help these people and stop things like this from happening. So how can we, (the people who want to help end human trafficking ) do so?
