I chose the sub-topic “Person Targeted by Human Trafficking” from the group topic “Human Trafficking.” This topic is of interest to me because it let us have an idea of how the traffickers go about catching their victims and how it impact society. The research will benefit me tremendously. For one, I will encounter new words ,sentence structures and knowledge which I might use in the future . Finally the three pieces I intend to use are three articles expressing my sub-topic “Persons Targeted by Human Trafficking” with I got fin my sources:   

The first stimulus selected is an expository article on the “Persons targeted by human trafficking”. The author explains how the traffickers go about finding their victims. The second stimulus speaks about the “Vulnerability of the victims” which makes them easier to target according to the author of the article. Both stimuli were informative but the second stimulus had more information on the theme or topic. The third stimulus is a brief research article on the “Risk of becoming a victim of human trafficking”. The writer/author goes about telling us that not only females are being targeted but also the LGBT youths are being affected. He also tells us about risks associated with child trafficking. It provides an interesting contrast to the other types of people affected by human trafficking because the third stimulus tell us that not only females and males are affected by human trafficking but members of the LGBT community are being affected.

In the first stimulus “Person targeted by human trafficking” formal language and adjectives such as alienated and ostracized which gives the readers an idea about the victims. The tone of the article is informative which gives the reader a clear understanding about the second stimulus “Person targeted by human trafficking”. Most of the language used in the second stimulus is formal with the use of statistical data and simple words makes the information more appealing to young readers. In the third stimulus “Risks of becoming a victim of human trafficking” the writer use text which includes features that make information easily accessible, such as bulleting points , statistical data and examples to make the articles easier to understand.

On completing this project, I learnt the importance of planning and being oranised.I found the group work difficult at times we seem to be talking at once. I learnt from conducting my research that you should prepare focused questions, otherwise you might spend a lot of time searching you might spend a lot of time searching and scanning materials to find article associated to my sub-topic I chose. From constant studying of this topic made me more aware of the problems related to Person Targeted by human trafficking.

Children under the age of 18 induced into commercial sex Adults (age 18 or over) induced into commercial sex through force, fraud, or coercion Children and adults induced to perform labor or services through force, fraud, or coercion

. They are made to work or provide commercial sex against their will in legal and legitimate business settings as well as underground markets. Some victims are hidden behind locked doors in brothels and factories. In other cases, victims are in plain view and may interact with community members, but the widespread lack of awareness and understanding of trafficking leads to low levels of victim identification by the people who most often encounter them. There is no single profile for trafficking victims; trafficking occurs to adults and minors in rural, suburban, or urban communities across the country. Victims of human trafficking have diverse socio-economic backgrounds, varied levels of education, and may be documented or undocumented. Traffickers target victims using tailored methods of recruitment and control they find to be effective in compelling that individual into forced labor or commercial sex. While human trafficking spans all demographics, there are some circumstances or vulnerabilities that lead to a higher susceptibility to victimization and human trafficking. While not inclusive of all vulnerabilities, the following highlights a few risk factors for victims of human trafficking. Runaway and homeless youth are vulnerable to trafficking. A study in Chicago found that 56 percent of prostituted women were initially runaway youth and similar numbers have been identified for male populations. Runaway and homeless youth lack a strong supportive network and runaway to unfamiliar environments are particularly at risk of trafficking. Runaway youth are often approached by traffickers at transportation hubs, shelters or other public spaces. These traffickers pretend to be a boyfriend or significant other, using feigned affection and manipulation to elicit commercial sex or services from the victim. Foreign nationals who are trafficked within the United States face unique challenges that may leave them more susceptible to trafficking and exploitation. In 2013, 32 percent of calls with high indicators of human trafficking to the NHTRC referenced foreign nationals. Recruiters located in home countries frequently require such large recruitment and travel fees that victims become highly indebted to the recruiters and traffickers. These fees are inflated far beyond cost in order to create economic instability and dependency on the new employer or trafficker. Traffickers leverage the nonportability of many work visas as well as the lack of familiarity with surroundings, laws and rights, language fluency, and cultural understanding in order to control and manipulate victims.

Individuals who have experienced violence and trauma in the past are more vulnerable to future exploitation, as the psychological effect of trauma is often long-lasting and challenging to overcome. Victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, war and conflict or social discrimination may be targeted by traffickers, who recognize the vulnerabilities left by these prior abuses. Violence and abuse may be normalized or beliefs of shame or unworthiness lead to future susceptibility to human trafficking

Though there is no standard profile of a child-trafficking victim, several risk factors make certain children more susceptible. Reports indicate that traffickers often target children and youths with a history of sexual abuse, dating violence, low self-esteem, and minimal social support. Runaway and homeless youths—male, female, and transgender—are at particularly high risk for becoming victims, though some trafficked youths continue living at home and attending school. There is also a strong correlation between sexually exploited youths and childhood sexual abuse, chronic maltreatment and neglect, and otherwise unstable home environments. Research findings estimate that between 33 and 90 percent of victims of commercial child sexual exploitation have experienced these types of abuses. Evidence also suggests that lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBTQ) youths can be up to five times more likely than heterosexual youths to be victims of trafficking due to the increased susceptibility that comes with the feelings of rejection and alienation that are often experienced by LGBTQ youths. Possible risk factors associated with child trafficking include the following:             

lack of personal safety isolation emotional distress homelessness poverty family dysfunction substance abuse mental illness learning disabilities developmental delay childhood sexual abuse promotion of sexual exploitation by family members or peers lack of social support
