HUMAN TRAFFICKING 2
Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is a serious issue, affecting millions of children, mothers, and men
worldwide. The economic and human costs of this impose immense effects on communities and
individuals. Probably, the costs of human capital are impossible to quantify. This issue cuts
across a diversity of development issues, from social inclusion to poverty to the rule of law and
justice and hence has relevance for practitioners in the entire development community. This
essay offers an overview of the concept of human trafficking. The paper can serve as a quick
reference for sector managers, task team leaders, clients and directors of various humanity
organizations such as the World Bank Group.
Human trafficking refers to the process of recruiting people and transporting them to
destinations where they are exploited for reasons of prostitution, forced labor, and domestic
servitude. The universally approved definition of trafficking is outlined by the Palermo Protocol
(In Brysk & in Choi-Fitzpatrick, 2012). It defines trafficking as the recruitment, transfer,
transportation and harboring of individuals using threats or coercion, deception or abuse of
power to gain the consent of an individual, for reasons of exploitation. At a minimum,
exploitation includes slavery, servitude, forced labor, removal or organs, sexual exploitation
among others (In Brysk & in Choi-Fitzpatrick, 2012).
Traffickers employ numerous approaches to ensure a vulnerable condition for victims so
that they lack any alternative but obey the traffickers (In Brysk & In Choi-Fitzpatrick, 2012).
One common method is debt-bondage whereby the trafficker tells the victim that he/she owes
money associated with the living and traveling costs and has to settle the debt for them to be
released. Besides, traffickers use alternative methods such as imprisonment, starvation, verbal
abuse, physical abuse, forced drug use and threats of violence to the victims and their families.
