Definition of human trafficking
“Trade in people and their parts that involves the use of improper means- e.g. force, fraud, deception, coercion, or the abuse of power or authority- to recruit or transport them within or across borders for the purposes of exploitation.”
- UN Office on Drugs and Crime, 2008

Human Trafficking vs. Smuggling
Smuggling- unauthorized border crossings
Trafficking is a crime against a person, while smuggling is the facilitated illegal entry from one country to another
There is no coercion or forced labor involved in smuggling
In the eyes of the law, a trafficked person is seen as a victim, while a smuggled person is seen as a criminal

Who is at risk?
Many types of people are trafficked Age, gender, level of education Many marginalized groups are at risk
(ethnicity, nationality, class background) Gender differences depending on type of
work Migrants are vulnerable, due to tight
immigration laws and lack of knowledge about migration laws
Orphaned children especially vulnerable (from HIV or in areas of conflict)

End – involentary servitude, debt bondage, slavery, sex trade
Adults (varies)- Sweatshops Factory work Agriculture Organ harvesting Begging/peddling Restaurant work
Particularly Women-

Major Issue: Lack of data
Lack of data Difficult to obtain data on trafficked
persons Majority seems to be women and
children Estimates of numbers vary
Range from 500,00 to 4 million people trafficked per year

Both Domestic and international Generally from poor areas of developing
countries into comparatively wealthier ones Several Regions- flow of trafficking:▪ Europe and Eurasia▪ Asia▪ Latin America and US▪ Middle East▪ Africa*Traffic also among regions

Trafficking & Globalization Although human trafficking is not a new
problem, the dynamics of globalization are fueling its growth Though growing trade and effortless world travel
Humans as commodities, as part of "hyper-capitalism" Incorporation into global market supply and demand Global trade networks
As migration and transnationalism Looking at a variety of motivating factors Transnational networks

The Global Economy
Influences the economic “push” and “pull” Changing lures of immigration Tight immigration laws: promote
alternate migration practices Trafficking becoming part of the global
economy Transnational network Exploit uneven development

Transnational Crime Networks Combination of political corruption and
organized crime promotes significant growth on global scale
Political instability/corruption -> vulnerability
Traffickers take advantage of transparent borders, broadband communication Political/economic upheaval Mass migrations

Global Problem, Global Solution The global effort to combat human trafficking
is organized around prevention, prosecution, and protection
Economic development, with a special emphasis on women and girls, constitutes perhaps the best long-term approach to combating human trafficking.
Prosecution of traffickers also has a strong prevention aspect. Breaking up trafficking networks and imprisoning traffickers stops the recruitment and movement of trafficked persons.
Between 2001 and 2005, the United States successfully convicted only 138 human traffickers (US DOJ, 2006
