Abstract

Human trafficking is a pervasive and complex global issue that involves the exploitation of individuals. While there is also the trafficking of objects, this study solely focuses on sexual exploitation and forced labor of humans. This paper defines trafficking and examines the impact that trafficking has on victims’ physical and mental health. This paper also examines the intersection of human trafficking and policies designed to combat it, focusing on the effectiveness of legal frameworks and enforcement mechanisms. By analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of current anti-trafficking laws and initiatives, the paper explores how policies can be improved to better address the root causes of trafficking, provide support and resources to victims, and hold perpetrators accountable. Based on the findings in the paper, practical solutions and recommendations for improving policies include collaboration from the community and government as well as the implementation of victim-centered approaches that prioritize the safety, health, and rights of victims.
