Final Trafficking Article

This article, like all the others, identifies the hidden, frightening truth of human trafficking. Young girls, as early as 5^th and 6^th grade, are traveling dangerously through borders in order to find work. Some young children end up traveling alone, though an adult usually accompanies most. The fact that people are driving themselves to literally become slaves in order to find a way to live is incredibly sad and upsetting. Young girls are being raised to live under extreme living conditions, work long hours, and are subjecting themselves to sexual abuse, neglect, and illegal confinement- among other things. It is also upsetting to read about families who have a full understanding to what is happening to their children, yet do nothing about it and raise no awareness to the rising issue. The rights of these people have been completely stripped away from them and no one seems to care enough to help them out of their misery. This is an alarming neglect to the rights of human beings and a solution to this problem should be the priority of nations around the globe.
