CAUSES OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN THE WORLD
One of the main causes of human trafficking is poverty. It drives parents to sell their children contributing to modern-day slavery. Poor people are also traffickers’ targets. Lack of education also increases jobless people hence making them vulnerable trafficking victims. The exploitation of victims also increases when the demand for cheap labor and commercial sex increases. Lack of legitimate ways of making money also turns people into human trafficking. Groups such as migrants without work permits and people living in rural areas with little jobs are major victims of such. Conflict and natural calamities may also cause economic instability and a lack of human rights making people more vulnerable to human trafficking.
