Lesson 1d

Human trafficking is not a pleasant term to consider. If you lived in a country strewn with war with a corrupted government, and you were promised a new life in a developed country with a job and enough prosperity to sustain yourself and your family, you would probably snatch the oppurtunity in a second. But all too often, the reality of the situation isn't the paradise that that is hoped for or expected.





Globalization, in my opinion, doesn't help the trafficking situation at all. Because of our connected world, and how wrapped up people get with their jobs and families, issues like trafficking all too often go unnoticed, or simply passed by. The ways that we are able to make our way around the world (planes, trucks, buses, etc.) make it easy for human trafficking to go by unnoticed as well.





However, organizations that promote the abolition of human trafficking can make a great difference in this area. People who care will join the organizations to help to make a difference in the lives of victims of trafficking.

It is possible for any and all of us to make a difference in human trafficking in our country and around the world. Joining an organization that promotes the elimination could be the beginning, and if we spread the word about what takes place in our country we could also spread awareness and possibly create more supporters of the cause.
