Summary: Human trafficking is not only a problem in developing nations but in developed ones such as U.S. and Canada. The U.S. government defines human trafficking as "modern-day slavery" that "involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. In recent studies results show that nearly 1/5 of homeless youth are victims of human trafficking."Schilling Wolfe, of the Field Center, said one way to limit the trafficking of homeless young adults is to eliminate the causes of homelessness.
Analysis: Human trafficking is a very serious criminal assault that should be dealt with asap. The government should try and prevent this from happening. We need to do a better job of launching our adolescent population into adulthood.
I agree that human trafficking is a major crisis that deserves more attention. People are being abducted and forced into horrific conditions. There needs to be more action to stop this terrible problem that the world, including the US, faces.
