Human Trafficking and the Lack of Awareness

John Diamandis

Human Trafficking and The Lack of Awareness People Have in Our Society.

Introduction

1. Attention-getter: Many of you may be familiar with the film “Taken”, if not, it is about a young girl who is abducted by human traffickers for sexual slavery while she is in France.
2. Thesis statement: Most of you probably think that Human Trafficking only occurs in foreign or poor countries but in reality it is a growing problem here in the United States. Since this is happening, I want to talk about the public discourse of Human Trafficking.

III. Essay: In my essay I will explain what human trafficking is, the discourse from victims and law enforcements, the efforts to make the public more aware and the Polaris Project.

1. Human Trafficking and A Survivor’s Story.
2. The Efforts made to Spread Awareness.
3. Polaris Project – Stories and what it is

[Transition to Body: First off, Human Trafficking is the illegal trade of human beings, or a modern-day form of slavery. It occurs in other ways than just sexual exploitation including forced labor and human organ trafficking.]

Body

1. First main point: In the United States people are very fortunate to not have to worry about human trafficking everyday. However, people should give it a little more thought than they do.
2. Sub-point#1: According to an article written by an American survivor on stophumantraffickingny.com. Dai grew up and lived in America for 21 years and was just one of many who was forced into sexual slavery. Dai was in a relationship with a military man who abused her before she was taken into sexual slavery. Dai escaped her abuser only to be approached by a female pimp who offered her comfort and food. Unknowingly Dai accepted and became a female escort where she was later abused and raped by her “date”. Dai went to the police but the police wouldn’t help her. She states, “To my astonishment, the police informed me that I had no rights because I had attained the status of a “street-walker”.”
3. Sub-point#2: After this, Dai was sold to a man and was taken to Nevada where she was ultimately submitted into human trafficking. Her experience as a human sex slave took place in Las Vegas and New York right underneath popular casinos and restaurants. Dai along with other women and even children were drugged and raped repeatedly. Dai stated, “I compare that time to being held hostage in a timeless existence where my mind engaged itself in disassociation with my soul. Repeatedly, I witnessed the beatings, rapes and murders of innocent women.”
4. Sub-point#3: Dai often questioned, “How could my own country not be aware of these cruelties? How could this kind of discrimination and slavery be given the power to blind immigrant and American women of their rights? The frustration of these and other questions echoed within my catatonic mind.” After I read this story, I questioned the same thing.

[Transition: America needs to become more aware of this growing problem, which leads to my next point: Spreading Awareness.]

1. Second main point: There are many efforts being taken to help spread awareness of human trafficking.
2. Sub-point #1: One action that was taken to spread awareness was when Forbes Magazine titled their article, “Super Bowl XLVIII(48) and Human Trafficking: An Outdoor Campaign Connects the Two.” Every American knows that the Super Bowl is widely known for having the best commercials and the fact that the game was held at MetLife Stadium drew a lot of attention to advertising in the city. For the duration of the Super Bowl week, a huge outdoor advertisement was held in the New York/ New Jersey metropolitan area to spread awareness about human trafficking in the United States. The message read, “Human Trafficking was reported in all 50 states last year. Stop modern slavery.” It also displayed a black and white photograph of a young girl who was a victim of human trafficking. These advertisements were displayed for a full two weeks throughout New York City. This action is supported by the Polaris Project, which I will explain in my next point.
3. Sub-point#1: But the Polaris Project Organization stated, “We knew we needed this kind of support if we were going to continue to make progress,” says Polaris Project CEO Bradley Myles. “We need to be front and center for there to be a major leap in awareness that this is problem. As the campaign says, this in an issue ’365 days a year,’ not just during Super Bowl week.”
4. Sub-point#2: Another effort being taken was by President Obama when he declared January as the National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. As of January 11th, 2011, Human Trafficking Awareness Day became official. President Obama states, “This month, I call on every nation, every community, and every individual to fight human trafficking wherever it exists. Let us declare as one that slavery has no place in our world, and let us finally restore to all people the most basic rights of freedom, dignity, and justice.”

[Transition: As you can see there are efforts being taken to spread awareness and now I will talk about the Polaris Project.]

III. Third main point: There are many organizations that are created in order to help spread awareness and get people through their traumatic experiences.

1. Sub-point #1: The Polaris Project is an organization that works to fight and prevent modern day slavery and human trafficking. The organization helps victims of human trafficking and people who suffered or have been affected by it. The Polaris Project is one of the largest anti-trafficking organizations in the country. They have programs to help local victims and national ones. The organization offers hotlines where people can report a tip or to report information they may have. They provide a 24/7 emergency response to any life-threatening situations and they offer counseling, support groups, art therapy, and job training/ placement assistance.
2. Sub-point#2: The Polaris Project has helped thousands of people. They helped 85,000 hotline callers from every state in the country as well as connected more than 11,000 victims of human trafficking to assistance. The Polaris Project website also has stories of people that suffered from any type of human trafficking. According to an article on dailymail.com, sixteen children and 50 women were rescued from sexual slavery in the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania area in the week leading up to the Super Bowl. My parents voiced their opinion on this, “We are shocked to learn that this is a very real problem here but we are glad that the police and organizations like the Polaris Project are working hard to stop it.”
