User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The South illegally imported slaves from Africa after 1808 because the South did not care what the government said they could or could not do. This was because the idea of scession was forming on the basis that the government was abusing their power as states to determine whether or not they could own slaves. They figured that if they were going to break away from the United States that there would be no reason to obey them.

The idea behind it is people who could not normally enter a country get in (theoretically), and those who traffic them get paid large amounts of money. ooohhhh : O

Asked by Wiki User

Child trafficking dates back at least as far as the 17th century. While once considered a primitive trade, child trafficking received a boon in the 1990â??s when western markets opened, making it extremely profitable. As a result, organized crime, sensing a huge windfall of cash, got into the child trafficking business.

Is human trafficking the same thing as slavery?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, in some regards.

Yet some consideration has to be given to the act of slavery itself. At no point have we ever defined slavery as being associated with sexual exploitation, but saying that is this due to one's perception ? Or the world's (global) perception as a whole based on transatlantic slavery prior to the Civil War.

I said yes - because both include the infringement of ones human rights, and being forced to carry out various tasks such as manual labour, or sexual exploitation.

What does trafficking in persons generate worldwide each year?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

More than should have.

Sadly the answer is unknowable. The number of victims of human trafficking each year varies depending on what definition you use--the most conservative numbers say 800,000 people a year are trafficked across international borders. Other numbers put the number of slaves worldwide at 27 million, and others see that as the tip of the iceberg.

Regardless of the number, slaves are inherently disposable--more so today, and cheaper, than they were during the American Civil War. To make matters worse, there isn't a survey whereby people are asked "Hi, do you have any slaves? If so, how many did you kill this year?"

While some of the criminals are so brazen that they would probably answer, realistically it's almost impossible to get good numbers.

Asked by Wiki User

The trafficking of people for economic gain has increased three-fold in the last five years. Key start points cover most of Asia and the Sub Continent, Central America, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Venezuela, and parts of Oceania.

In Eastern Europe the trafficking of people, especially children, has reached critical levels with key start points including, the Ukraine, Moldova, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania, Croatia, and Slovenia.

Trafficking purposes include slavery, indentured labour, adult and child sexual exploitation, (both male and female), and an emerging industry in the harvesting and sale of human organs.
