What sustains human trafficking?
Quite simply it is the failure of all Governments to ensure Global Databases which can be used to trace track and locate activity related to human trafficking are on a common platform in every Country of the World.
The Database set would include financial transaction, shipping movement and known persons and their community relationships. Human Trafficking has to be financed and the numbers are not small. The funds must cross borders and at some point must be removed from its 'ghost system' into the 'real system'.
Our Governments are weak, soft and unwilling to confront a growing problem. Until we have principled 'tough on crime Governments' women and children continue to suffer and when they are of no further use they will be murdered and in some cases their body parts will be sold. A lot of people make money out of the pain and misery of the women and children and men too who are trafficked. We need a Global Platform to collect information and tough Governments to use the information to arrest those concerned. Unfortunately we have neither.

I hope this helps, it didn't help me any.

Where did human trafficking originate?
Human trafficking dates back before written history. Since a time when one tribe was in proximity to another, people were stolen for uses that the kidnapper saw fit and the kidnapped would not do voluntarily. Human nature hasn't changed much since, it just appears 'modern'.
What happens to people who escape from human trafficking places?
What happens to them is determined by almost only: whom they meet, next: is it a kind person who can help them escape further, or will their needs be ignored (needs = clothes, food, shelter, medicines, fluids, education); or is the next person someone who is going to throw them back into human trafficking?
If someone wishes to know what to do for those ones who are escaping: read in the Bible "The Parable of the Good Samaritan". Perhaps a telephone call to a Samaritans organisation, or "Helpline", to find real help, too, e.g. Women's Refuges. If the person suddenly finds the next person is in the employ of the slavedrivers, then the situation is much worse, much worse, for the one who escaped.
