Joseph R.Riley, KeSean Wells and Kordero Devoe U.S. History,5th hr May 10th, 2015 Human Trafficking Human trafficking is perceived to be a problem confined to faraway countries and only the most crime-ridden American cities. But Milwaukee is now experiencing a high volume in the number of cases where the average age of the children being groomed and sold for sex is 13. That’s why parents and children need to know more about the issue and what they can do to prevent it. Especially in the summer, when kids are unsupervised and vulnerable to being targeted by traffickers. According to Milwaukee Journal Sentinal 92% of youth trafficking in Milwaukee are female, 78% are African Americans, 79% of human trafficking cases reported in Wisconsin occurs in the city of Milwaukee . It is racially shewed and growing rapidly even in our own backyard. Human trafficking is one of the most dehumanizing things in the world. There are many ways to engage in human trafficking. The three main ways are drug mules, sex slaves and money laundering. Besides this there are other forms, but these are the most convenient. The first aspect of human trafficking would be drug mules. A drug mule is a person who smuggles illegal contraband from one place to another. The drug mules are usually poor people who need a quick source of income. As a drug mule, they usually get paid a minor fraction of what the main crime lord gets or they smuggle for freedom. Drug mules use their bodies as a smuggling bag via airports, boarders and other lawful checkpoints. The downsides of being a drug mule are catastrophic, the drug mules have a constant risk of being caught or being killed depending on the severity of how much drugs their carrying. Death is always present because of the ways that they smuggle the drug mules swallow capsules of cocaine, heroin, and marijuana. The capsules of drugs ingested could rupture at any time, causing death instantly. The second aspect of human trafficking is sexual slavery. Sexual slavery or sex slaves are generally females of any age that gentlemen buy as pleasure. Sex slaves don’t have an age limit and is one of the most inhumane things to do to a female. This is present worldwide and is still continuing to grow to this day. Most of the sex slaves get tortured and often killed if they do not comply with their “owners: requests. These individuals are often impregnated and their babies are aborted to them on the market. The last aspect of human trafficking is human money laundering. Money laundering is the concealment of illegally obtained money, transferring to other places. Human traffickers usually tape/implant lump sums amount of currency in or on their human subjects. The risks of money laundering are intense. The consequences are a life in prison with a hefty price. There are many different organization geared toward helping fight against human trafficking. Standing up against human trafficking takes courage, but anyone can get involved by working for an anti-trafficking group or taking a stand on an individual level. Get involved If you think something is suspicious or someone is being traffic call the police **911**.
