The Inextricable Correlation between Human Trafficking and Prostitution

An example of this is clearly the realization that human trafficking for prostitution is a real occurrence that harms many vulnerable women around the globe. In fact, some argue that there is actually no difference between prostitution and sexually-based human trafficking because of the lack of choice that drive this institution.

information sharing in order to narrow down on any transnational threats without compromising trade and travel (DHS, 2018).
In combating the detrimental crime of human trafficking DHS initiated the blue movement which entails advanced training for local and state enforcement officers. The blue movement entails international radio, video, and print campaign, multilingual awareness campaigns locally in newspapers printed in fifty foreign languages, assistance materials for victims distributed at the entry port, as well as the DHS website which offers resources and materials detailing information against human trafficking, private sector, NGOs, concerned citizens, and officers involved in law enforcement (DHS, 2018).

a range of state missions, from evidence gathering for federal investigation against pornography and human trafficking or to monitor financial transactions of suspicious organizations. The latter type of surveillance is not always perceived of as surveillance, but it is still information gathering and must be accomplished within the provisions of the Fourth Amendment for it to be deemed constitutional. Technology has made each of these three types of surveillance easier, and emerging technologies are bound to make future surveillance even easier than it is already.
In addition to technological advancements in surveillance that make it easier for the government to spy on its citizens… Continue Reading...
