Slavery is used to cover a range of practices from treating individuals as property which may be utilised and exchanged without their consent (chattel), to using them with their consent in payment of a loan or debt (debt bondage); it may also take the form of domestic servitude (working as servants) or of productive slavery (forced labour in mining, farming, or manufacture). As well as the holding of slaves there is the practice of exchanging them for money or services, with human trafficking being defined by the United Nations as “the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of people through force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them for profit.”. The moral objections to slavery and trafficking are many and obvious. Apart from the physical and psychological suffering and harm inflicted on victims, there is the breaking of family relationships, the denial of rights of freedom & opportunity, and most fundamentally the violation of human dignity and autonomy.

— Sex Trafficking of Women in the United States: International and Domestic Trends NCJ Number 187774 Author(s) Janice G. Raymond Ph.D.; Donna M. Hughes Ph.D. Date Published March 2001 Length 139 pages Annotation This study examined international and domestic trafficking of women for sexual exploitation in the United States and used interviews with 128 trafficked and prostituted women to follow their paths from the time before they were recruited or trafficked and to determine the consequences in terms of violence, crime, health, and other human costs. Abstract The research focused on the connections between the supply of women trafficked from abroad and within the United States to the demand created by sex industries and the involvement of local sex industries in sex trafficking and prostitution. It also examined the linkages between international and domestic trafficking and sex industries, regional differences in these activities, and the social consequences. Results revealed that sex businesses in each region studied were prolific and diverse. Organized businesses and crime networks were instrumental in recruiting international and United States women. Conditions facilitating recruitment of women included economic desperation and disadvantage, the lack of a sustainable income, and poverty. Trafficking patterns were diverse. Twenty percent of the international and 28 percent of the United States women had intimate relationships with the men who pimped them. Methods used to control women in the sex industry included denying freedom of movement, isolation, controlling money, threats and intimidation, drug and alcohol addictions, threatened exposure of pornographic films, and physical and sexual violence. The women suffered severe health consequences from injuries caused by violence and from diseases contracted while in the sex industry. Women found many ways to cope, resist, and survive the exploitation and violence. Findings indicate the need for prevention, victim protection, and prosecution of traffickers. Recommended actions include establishing a human rights definition of trafficking, raising public awareness, establishing strict penalties and consistent law enforcement, using coordinated and collaborative efforts, and providing culturally appropriate legal strategies and social services.
