"Office of Anti-Crime Programs (INL/C)." U.S. Department of State. U.S. Department of State, n.d. Web. 07 June 2015.
The US Department of State brings about issues they are trying to fix in the international community. Theses issues include, "
counter-narcotics; demand reduction; money laundering; financial crime; terrorist financing, smuggling of goods; illegal migration; trafficking persons; border controls; document security; corruption; cyber-crime; intellectual property rights; law enforcement; police academy development; and to judiciaries and prosecutors." After stating the issues that are happening throughout the world they include how they are managing to cut down on these crimes and eliminate them from happening. For example, they created new tools such as the UN Convention Against Corruption which are determined to work with countries to stop human trafficking along with other horrific offenses. This article was created to show that people are out there working to stop organized crime, which is a big problem in lots of corrupted governments, and that you can have hope that we can get rid of it.
I believe that this is a very useful source because it comes straight from the US government, and they explain all the things they are trying to do to stop trafficking between countries and other issues. You can tell it is a government cite because of the domain at the end of the web address, http://www.state.gov/j/inl/c/. This is different then other sources in my bibliography because it's not a small organization/group of people fighting for change, it's a large corporation backed by lots of money that could be invested in stopping human trafficking. Another good thing about this source is that there is little to no bias about the subject, because it just states the facts of what they are doing and how. The goal that the INL/C/CP is trying to achieve is to stop all organized crime, and make people aware that it is a big issue.
This source fits into my research because the cite is talking about a large organization focused on stopping organized crime, such as human trafficking. This source was very helpful to me because it shows that our government has an interest in stopping issues such as human trafficking, and it told me how they are partnering up to effectively accomplishing their goals. This helps my argument because it shows that human trafficking is a big deal and needs to be stopped immediately before it destroys more peoples/families lives. After reading this article about what the INL/C/CP is doing to stop my issue, it makes me think actually how big human trafficking and organized crime must really be for our government to get involved and try and stop it.
UNICEF
"Child Trafficking." UNICEF USA. N.p., n.d. Web. 07 June 2015.
The UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) is an organization that is trying to put an end to child trafficking and exploitation. Their main arguments are that human trafficking does not just happen in select countries, it happens everywhere, and it doesn't matter on race or gender, anyone can be trafficked. The point of this article is to aware people of human trafficking, and the terrible things kids have to go through when they are sold like, being "forced to work in sweatshops, on construction sites or in houses as domestic servants; on the streets as child beggars, in wars as child soldiers, on farms, in traveling sales crews or in restaurants and hotels. Some are forced to work in brothels and strip clubs or for escort and massage services." This source also goes into detail on solutions that could be put in place to stop child trafficking. For example, one of the solutions to stop human trafficking was to create a higher minimum wage so that kids won't have to get jobs to help support their families. I feel that would be an effective way to reduce human trafficking because less kids would be traveling to places that they don't know.
I believe that UNICEF is a reliable and useful source towards my research of human trafficking. This source is very useful because it is officiated with the United Nations, which has lots of power that can be used to stop the problem. This compares with my other source because they are both powerful organizations attacking the same issue, the issue of human trafficking. This website is reliable because it is an organization, which you can tell by the domain at the end of the web address, http://www.unicefusa.org/mission/protect/trafficking, and because the United Nations backs it up. After reading the article, I don't think there is much bias because it talks more about the facts of human trafficking other than human trafficking in general, which would create lots of room for biased opinions. The goal of this source is to end child/human trafficking, and make sure that people can have good lives, and not have to work their lives away as a modern day slave.
This source, The United Nations Children's Fund, fits my research because they too want to put an end to human trafficking. This source was very helpful to me because it put a new light on things, that kids lives are destroyed for the rest of their lives when they are promised good jobs to help support their families, but actually end up in human trafficking. This helps get my argument across because it shows how cute little kids can be exploited and be turned to slaves making profits for their owners. I can use this to further my research by including personal experiences of little kids that were sold into trafficking. Reading this source has changed my view on the topic because it highlights how ugly people are to actually steal little kids and sell them to make money, and with people aware of that and not doing anything about it makes them just as evil.
