How does this affect me?
Human trafficking not only affects the person to whom the damage is done, but is also the people around them such like family, friends or locality. They live with fear and horrible things can happen, including death; besides that they fear that another member from a family, friendships or locality comes to pass the same thing or something similar with what the person has gone through. The family, and especially the parents are left with the hope of knowing a minimum of them, even if they are destroyed, they are still struggling to find their son/daughter.
What are your thoughts/opinions towards human trafficking?
Human trafficking is the human trade for sexual activities and exploitation which is an inhumane act. I know it happens around the world mostly in the third world countries because sometimes the security or law enforcement is corrupted and responsible. And from what I know it is mostly children and women. In the US, I think it is less occurring but there are stories and documentaries on YouTube about it.

Well my views on human trafficking is that it is absolutely inmoral and unhuman and that no individual should have to do something they don't desire to do. I view human trafficking as an issue that society has and unfortunately will continue to have until the laws and rights are strictly enforced.
Human Trafficking is the trade of humans for exploitation. It is problem that has got to stop. Innocent people get captured and are sent somewhere else to get exploited. It is sad to see many children involved in this type of situation. Many of the times they get children because it is easier to traffic drug through them. I think its situation ongoing problem but many people don't know about it or after searching for someone missing for so long they just forget.
