HUMAN TRAFFICKING: THE POSITION OF HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1    BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Human trafficking is defined as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of persons through the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, abuse of power or vulnerability, or the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to obtain the consent of a person having control over another person for the purpose of exploitation (Ajzen, and Fishbein,1980). Sex trafficking, forced labor, and financial bondage are the three most frequent kinds of human trafficking. According to the US Department of State, forced labor, also known as involuntary servitude, is the world’s largest sector of trafficking (American Immigration Council 2018). Debt bondage is a type of human trafficking in which a person is forced to work in order to repay a debt. Human trafficking, sometimes known as modern-day slavery, is a global issue with a wide scope that is frequently overlooked in the United States (Ajzen, 2012). Human trafficking is defined by the United States Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of persons by improper means (such as force, abduction, fraud, or coercion) for an improper purpose, such as forced labor or sexual exploitation, or the involvement of minors (people under the age of 18) in commercial sexual activity (U.S. Department of State, 2019). Human trafficking is frequently portrayed as involving women coerced into prostitution. This is only a small part of the picture when it comes to human trafficking. Men and children are among the survivors of human trafficking, and they are exploited in a variety of ways. Women and children are disproportionately affected by sex trafficking, which entails forced involvement in commercial sex activities. In the United States, any kid under the age of 18 who has participated in a commercial sex act is considered a victim of human trafficking. Women and girls account for 80 percent of those trafficked internationally. Every year, 1 million children are exploited in the commercial sex trade by traffickers. Ajzen,(2012) opined that Human trafficking is a heinous violation of basic human rights, and victims can only be rescued when they have contact with the outside world, which is typically only when they seek medical attention.

Healthcare practitioners must be educated on how to spot human trafficking (Hachey & Phillippi, 2017).

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Human trafficking is a huge public health hazard across the world Ajzen, (1980). It has been stated that victims of human trafficking seek treatment in healthcare facilities at some point during their exploitation (Egyud, Stephens, Swanson-Bierman, DiCuccio & Whiteman, 2017). In the United States, victims of human trafficking can seek treatment through family primary care clinics, family planning clinics, community health centers, urgent care centers, and emergency departments (Hachey & Phillippi, 2017). According to studies, 80-90 percent of specific demographics of trafficked persons have had contact with a healthcare practitioner at least once while being trafficked, and these victims are frequently unidentified (Chambers, 2019). Healthcare practitioners are particularly placed to recognize and assist victims of human trafficking (Hachey, & Phillippi, 2017). The failure of identification by healthcare practitioners is most likely owing to the clinicians’ ignorance of the scope, risk factors, or red flags of human trafficking.
