- Title
TRAFFICKING OF PEOPLE.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the growing problem of international trafficking both in the U.S. and the world. According to the data from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), an estimation of 50,000 persons, specifically women and children, are illegally traded in the country annually and oftentimes forced to live and work in slavery-like conditions. In response to the said problem, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act is passed by Congress as impart to the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000. It reveals that most of the trafficking practices are committed by organized crime groups specifically those in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe. The proposed bill encourages the nations to develop initiatives to reduce trafficking problems.
