This interview with a former trafficked women tells a lot of useful avenues for people to get involved to help combat human trafficking. I'm not sure how I will use it yet but I am trying to figure it out.

Thesis Statement

Today in our society Human Trafficking is bigger than ever men, women, and children are being stolen and traded for sex everyday. As a society we need to stand up and fight against the Traffickers. Human Trafficking needs to be brought to the attention of everyone, we need to implement a plan to stop trafficking of humans, and provide help for people who have been trafficked.

This article offers some great points relating to my topic, which is HumanTrafficking. The President is putting together a task force to battle trafficking of persons against their will. I will use this information to show that this is an important topic that needs to be addressed and the President is even involved.

I am using the information from this site to give an example of how women and children are being forced into slavery and why they are afraid to work with officials to capture their abusers.

I used this story to tell a story about a victim of Human Trafficking. We do not think of people who are kidnapped as victims of human trafficking but they are. Jaycee was held against her will and forced to have sex with her capture.

This article is about Jaycee Dugard, the little girl who was stolen from the bus stop and forced to live in a tent in the backyard of the capturers house. I believe this adds to my paper because I want to show that Human Trafficking is not just about peole being kidnapped and taken to other countries. It also happens in our own cities, towns, and villages.
