Human Trafficking Going Unpunished In Canada, Expects Say
Summary:
This article was about the number of human traffickers that have gone unpunished in Canada after reforms of laws to convict offenders. New laws came into effect in 2005 and since then there's only been 35 human trafficking convictions, two of the thirty-five were forced labor. Many denote the fact that too many people are getting away with human trafficking to the fact that Canadian law enforcement not being trained to deal with human trafficking. The article also stated that human trafficking was under-reported, because victims do not typically go the the police and recount their ordeals. Majority of the women who are trafficked in Canada are aboriginal and are marginalized because they are refugees, immigrants or brought in from another country for human trafficking purposes.
Analyzes:
This article highlights a dark figure of crime that exists in Canada. The victims of human trafficking usually don't report the crime if they ever do get free of their traffickers because of fear or shame. Because it goes under-reported so society doesn't see it as a problem therefore there's not a big push to solve this social and moral problem. Another thing that is highlighted in the article is that women are being marginalized and forced into labor which is a social problem that is happening all over the world. Women who have no other means of surviving are forced into human trafficking in order to stay alive, a direct result of poverty and a lack of education.
