Human Trafficking
There has been much confusion concerning the difference between human trafficking and smuggling humans.   Human trafficking includes the bargaining of human beings and his or her use by criminals for profitable gain.   Smuggling human beings is when an individual illegally transports a person into the country for a fee.   Never has a victim agreed to be trafficked they are tricked-lured by false promises-or forced.   Individuals that have been smuggled have made that choice and are free when they reach his or her destination. Trafficked victims do not have a choice, and are subjugated.
Human trafficking is a global occurrence that is propelled by demand and fed by poverty and unemployment ("Exit: End Exploitation And Trafficking", n.d.)..   The impact of human trafficking is catastrophic.   Individuals often endure “physical and emotional abuse, rape, threats against self and/or family, and even death.   The destruction also reaches beyond individual victims; human trafficking undermines the health, safety, and security of all nations it touches” ("Exit: End Exploitation And Trafficking", n.d.)
Globalization is the best macro practice intervention for this particular social issue.   Luckily, the internet has allowed human service providers to exchange information concerning human rights, global social issues, and to form organizations to further develop social awareness concerning human well being.   Several organizations have been founded to fight for human rights such as : Amnesty International, International Federation of Social Workers, as well as the International Council on Social Welfare, which is “an excellent example of community development at work using networking and international liaisons with other organizations to achieve it’s goals,” ( Martin,2011).
