Labor trafficking affects every country in the world, especially the Asia-Pacific region, where 1 in every 250 people are victims. (IBLA, 2019)
7 in 10 victims of sexual exploitation in the world are trafficked in the Asia-Pacific. (IBLA, 2019)
Traffickers use threats, lies, violence, debt bondage, and coercion to force victims to engage in commercial sex acts against their will. Young girls who live on the streets, or whose families are extremely poor are particularly vulnerable to this kind of trafficking.
The Bureau of International Labor Affairs maintains a list of goods and products likely produced by child labor or forced labor in violation of international standards.
Often, girls around the world are forced to drop out of school or denied access to income-generating opportunities. The resulting social exclusion can trap girls in a cycle of extreme poverty, as well as increased vulnerability to trafficking and exploitation. (Save the Children, 2020)
Job Recruiter Trick
Often traffickers will come to a village claiming to be recruiting employees for a large business or corporation. They promise job training, excellent salaries, and the ability to move into higher positions over time. The young women they lure – generally with their parents’ consent or coercion – leave the village with these traffickers and find that once they are in a big city they are sold to a brothel, or otherwise forced to engage in commercial sex work. If they resist, they risk being beaten, raped, or killed. Alone and in an unfamiliar place, there is nothing they can do.
The Marriage Dowry Trick
A young man will visit a village saying he is looking for a wife and that he is willing to accept a girl without a marriage dowry. The thought of getting a daughter married without having to pay the typically exorbitant dowry is too tempting for impoverished families. The girl is given to the man thinking she will be married and taken care of, but instead she is whisked away and forced into the sex trade.
