DISCUSSION QUESTION DUE BY FRIDAY OCTOBER 28TH
By reading the novel Sold, you have been introduced to the issue of human trafficking. Why do you think that such a big human rights issue continues to exist around the world?
Human traffiking is still existing today because there is alot of people that want to get money fast. There is a lot of poverty in the world and many pople have no jobs. There is human traffiking specially in India where young girls get taffiked and get sold. There is the sroty of Meena who was sold at about age 11 or 12 years old. She was forced to be with about 10-25 men in bed even if she didnt want to. This happens offten in India because their parents get tricked into letting them go because they don't have money to feed another mouth and they barely have money. Human trafficking is all around the world even if it appears its not. I know this because in the article we read it explains how there are many girls who get trafficked. I also know this because in "sold" there is this girl named Lakshmi who was sold into prostitution. She was tricked believing that she was going to work in the city so that her family would have money and one less mouth to feed.
I Think its still A big issues because people are still being trafficked Now days.It isn't an Issue you can Just ignore because its happening now to Young girls Our age. It's a Big Human rights issue because you are holding Young Ladies 11-16 against their will. Also because there being forced to Have sex with men they don't even know And are at risk of a sexually transmitted disease. Most of the young girls Doesn't want to be there they parent or love ones trick them into doing it because They will do anything for money. The young girls fall for it because they think there actually doing something for there family when everything there doing is for Nothing like Lakshmi.
I think its still abig issue becuase no one cares about it.like everyone just ignore the situtation just becuase its not happening to them. I belive its a big issue today also becauseyou are takin away a young girls like without really taking her life litarary. Your making women and girls work for somthing they not getting paid for, and using them as sex slaves. Its not even a choice onn how rthey want to live there life.
I think this big humans rights issue continues to exist in the world because the money is really low. People are poor and need money to pay everything they own. I think it is also going on because nobody is stopping it for example in the book sold when the police came to the Happiness House mumtaz paid him to keep his mouth shout so now in days they are doing that to much. The girls who are forced to be in prostitution were tricked into something they didn't wanted to be in life. Like Lakshmi was tricked by her stepfather. This days people don't worry about the situation but when they are in their place they would like other people to help. They trick a lot of girls by telling them they would get enough money that would let them go home but the truth is that they would never let them go until they are sick and don't work anymore. This should be stopped by someone very brave or else this will continue forever and girls would die.
I think that it has been a big human rights issue because people need money and they take advantage of girls since they cant do anything about it. also since im guessing that they make good money out of it and the police doesnt do anything about it then people in the world couldnt care less about it. All they probably say is let the cops handle it. These girls are usually kidnapped or sold and maybe also even tricked. And since the girls never know what could happen they go for it. So then basically that person usually sells them to a brothel owner. Then the brothel owner use them as prostitutes to make them money. Also they actually make pretty good money since they dont pay the girls all the money stays to them. So its like they treat the girls as slaves and make them have sex with other guys. Mostly people really couldnt care less about what happens to people around the world since it doesnt effect them. But they need to understand that either way there are millions of girls that are being used as prostitutes and they need as much help as possible. There should be someone or a foundation that should help these girls out before things get worse
By reading the novel Sold the reason why I think that this human rights issue continues to exist around the world is because the governments in these societies don’t do anything about it the issue because the people are so accustomed to it.
It is still a big issue because there are many young girls that are out all over there world could be anywhere , that they are being trafficked. This is a big human right issue because these young girls are being forced to have sex with men that they don't know for money and it's against the law this is crucial. They are hurting these young women just to receive money , when there are plenty of other things you can do to receive money without making someone else pay the price and not receive no portion. A lot of people may not care because it's not happening to them , but people should be thankful for the lives that they have because no one should have to suffer because they parents don't have enough money. People need to learn how to use protection because the less protection they use the more kids that are born into this world which will cause them to have less money and then there's a chance that they kid may be forced to be a prostitute. Someone should put a stop to this now.
I think big human rights issues are still big because people barely care about what happens around them and their not noticing that its happening right in front of them. For example human traficking is mainly happening in india and some people do realize that girls are being trafficked and they try to stop it. Some including cops don't even mind because brothel owners pay them to keep their mouth shut. Like thing like this they can't put an end because there's no enough say in eallch side like of course girls wo escape are against them but others don't see that hurts other people and they need to do something so that it won't happen.
This is a big human rights issue because girls are not giving their rights to choose their own fate. This will continue to be a big issue if people dont do nothing about this. Some people know about human trafficking and they still don't do nothing. Including cops They should just be fair and end this.
Human trafficking is a big issue around the world because there is to much poorness.Especially on India where girls have being sold because there parents don't have enough money.People especially the owners of brothels want to get money in a way that is fast and not a hard work for them.There's still issue of human trafficking because it's hard to stop it.And not many people cares about this girls because they don't know whats this or whats happening around us.Not even copes at India pays attention they just want some MONEY!!!
Human trafficking is still a big human rights issue because not many people are informed about it. Human trafficking is not something you hear about on an every day basis. In fact the only way to learn about human trafficking is by doing research on it, and you can't do research on a topic you never knew existed. Although this is a major problem in India many people are not educated about it and that's why they get tricked into human trafficking in the first place.And the people who do know about it don't think it is as big of an issue as it is described, because its only happening in rural, poor country's. You can also say that the main problem is greed. Now and days people would do anything to earn a quick buck hear and there in India because poverty is such a big issue there. Human trafficking is a big human rights issue that cant be stopped on it's own! And unless people are informed about it and really understand what there doing to these little girls and whats happening to them the issue will only get worse.
Human trafficking is still a big human rights issue because it is happening all over the world. Because of this, it is hard to locate the specific places where human trafficking takes place. I don't find this to be an excuse though because they could just start going from state to state one at a time. I agree with Samantha when she says human trafficking isn't something you hear about on a daily basis and I think it should be heard on a daily basis. This way people will help out more to stop human trafficking and won't be as scared to save prostitutes. Little girls should be playing with dolls and toys in their dollhouses, not in a sex house.
i think that human trafficking is still a big issue because people dont pay attention. if they would actually find out about it then they would try to help stop it. i also agree with fahima because they are afraid to raise their voices.but that cant get in the way of your happiness and freedom. if they would secretly contact help then anonimously get someone to speak for them i believe that they could actually have a chance at being free. then they wouldnt be afraid to be heard.they would most likely want to be heard more often.
I think human trafficking still continues because the traffickers and brothel owners are becoming more and more advanced with their work so its harder for officials to catch them from trafficking young ladies. Also since india is a very poor place anybody would do anything to get money (like the police officers who get paid to cover for them). Traffickers are also smart too because in a book called sold they trafficked a girl named laksmi and they took her someplace she didn't know so there was no way she can get help because she didn't understand their language and didn't know anything. This shows how smart the traffickers are because the victim doesn't know anything about their surroundings and cant get help or tell of the brothel owners and the traffickers out.
I believe that human trafficking continues to exist around the world because of lack of money,knowledge and security.I know this because in the two articles that we have read on this issue and the book Sold it always mentioned that they girl were either kidnapped or tricked into human trafficking and prostitution. Meaning that the girls and their families had no clue of what was going to happen to them. But because of lack of money there families had no choice but to send them off to what they thought was work in the city. Also it mentioned that sometimes people were aware of the situation and did nothing to stop it. For example when Laksmi was passing the border with Uncle husband he gave the police a paper and asked Laksmi if that was her husband. He did not do a single thing seeing that something was obviously wrong, he just let them pass now that he was given a sum of money. Also, in the passage with Meena and her children. Meena went to go tell the police that he children needed help that they were being kept there, but the police did not care. This shows that the issue of human trafficking is not really something that people are aware of. They only then are aware of it when they are actually experiencing it or they see it firsthand. The only reason why it still exist now in the 21st century is because of lack of money in poor villages like the one Lakshmis lives in and lack of security.
