As my protest is focused on trafficking, I have been continuing to research for the past 2 weeks on all areas. I found out the main types of human trafficking are forced labor, sex trafficking and organ sacrifice. I collected information on all three types of trafficking to develop a clearer understanding of the subject. I soon learned that out of all the various types of trafficking, sexual trafficking is most common. Here are some of the facts I came across during my research:
• $32 billion: Size of human trafficking industry…some estimate $50 billion.
• 2nd largest and fastest growing crime on earth after drug trafficking
• Commercial sex trafficking of minors: Fastest growing sex crime
• 600,000 to 800,000: People trafficked each year
• 80% of victims are female
• 50% of victims are children
I want to expand on my research further and find out if there are possible ways to prevent it. Also I am interested in finding out what kind of people help to stop trafficking. I have gave myself a lot of areas to research into but I feel I wouldn't be able to create a piece of artwork representing the theme if I don't have the knowledge and understanding behind it.
