human trafficking effect

Social

The issue of human trafficking isn't seen as a serious issue but still dangerously impacts the world. This does not denote them as being not a serious matter, nonetheless. Those who have truly experienced human trafficking are the ones who must cope with the majority of the social impacts. Although, HIV and AIDS can be spread because of human trafficking, which can affect any and all of the population. Despite there being shared impacts of human trafficking, the specific incidents tend to differ from country to country.

The US ambassador for human trafficking, Luis CdeBaca, is calling for Burmese military officers to be held accountable for any involvement in human trafficking or the recruitment of child soldiers.  Human rights advocates say an end to impunity by Burma’s military’s involvement with human trafficking is seen as a key test for the new civilian government.
After the end of an official visit to Burma, U.S. Ambassador for human trafficking Luis CdeBaca says he remains optimistic the civilian government will move to reduce forced labor and child soldier recruitment. But CdeBaca, who travelled to Burma with U.S. special envoy and policy coordinator for Burma Derek Mitchell, said senior military officers need to be held accountable for human-rights abuses such as forced labor.
“One of the things as well is the issue of accountability for the military officers, both the ones who use civilians for forced labor but also the ones who are engaged in recruitment child soldiers," said CdeBaca. "There have been a number of prosecutions for recruitment for recruitment of child soldiers but it’s all the low level guys.”

Over a few months their were several outburst of a international scale considering south asia's trafficking problem due to mass graves within Malaysia and Thailand and use of slaves within the seafood industry of Thailand.

Luse then framed the issue of human trafficking in Southeast Asia as being emblematic of a larger reality, where individuals – migrants, refugees and others – are bought, sold, traded or otherwise mistreated. Luse described human trafficking in Southeast Asia as an “economic whirlwind of substantial force” caused by partly by the juxtaposition of extreme poverty with new opportunities for economic exploitation opened by globalization. It is also facilitated by corruption, disregard by many local businesses as to the background and documentation of their employees, and the power wielded by criminal syndicate leaders and masterminds who appear to have gone untouched.
For Luse, if Southeast Asia is to get serious about tackling its trafficking problem, it would need to address all the key aspects of the problem. For starters, Southeast Asian governments, Luse said, must get serious about combating corruption.
Personal issues
This has effected my life by being one major and impacting piece which has displayed on my community as being one of the worst community within the issues of human trafficking which makes me and the people living in the community insecure and threatened through the dark secret of the area.

“No wonder prostitution is so rampant in China, I mused as I watched the four girls watch us: why stand on your feet all day for slave wages when you can get rich on your back?” 

“I’ve been held down like a piece of meat while monsters disguised as men violated me again & again. ” 

“To those who are struggling. To talk about a struggle, you're likely to forget about it. To be shown a struggle, you're likely not to forget it. But, to live through a struggle, you'll understand it.”

Summary of subject documentary

My documentaries situation and subject to action upon would be Human trafficking because this is a serious situation which is misjudged and is spreading into different areas of the united kingdom but also globally throughout the world which I feel that if I present the situation head on towards a audience through a visual presentation then people would be more aware but also alert to reduce the problems hidden within their communities starting within Croydon to place down a small example which could gradually spread throughout UK and maybe be noticed by other countries. The resources I will use to get research which would benefit the resolve for the situation of human trafficking would be through interviews, real life stories and maybe personal experiences but also statistics to present small information gradually into the audience.

research on human traffiking

A scheme run by the charity Barnardo’s, with funding from the Home Office, has helped 20 at-risk young victims of human trafficking in Croydon over the past 12 months.



The Anti-Slavery Day Bill became law in 2010. It was introduced in Parliament
as a Private Members Bill by Anthony Steen former MP for Totnes, South
Devon, in 2010 and passed through both Houses, unopposed although
amended. The bill defines modern-day slavery as child trafficking, forced
labour, domestic servitude and trafficking for sexual exploitation.
Anti-Slavery Day falls on October 18 each year and provides an opportunity to
draw attention to the subject, raise awareness of modern slavery and to
inspire people to eliminate it.


On Saturday September 28, members of Croydon Community Against Trafficking, or CCAT, will be completing a 10-kilometre (a little more than six miles) walk chained together to raise awareness about victims of human trafficking.

Analysis on interview

The name of this interviewer is Jon Snow from channel 1 who was interviewing Vitaly Milonov. The importance the the interviewers role here was to clarify Vitaly's ideas of gay people and then how he links it into pedophilia to make sure the audience understand his way of expressing his opinion which link to the purpose of the interview which to reply to his justification of the subject. The types of questions used are open so that Vitaly has slight freedom of how he portrays his view towards the audience, suggestive so for example when Vitaly said that he doesn't want gay people to assault their children which Jon Snow replies by suggesting that Vitaly refers Gay people to link in with pedophilia which made Vitaly speechless but also hesitant to answer that question which then became a time for cover up answers which made the statement even more justified. The structure was form start quite paced and relaxed to gradually building up even more pressure towards each answer, which led to a summary of Vitaly being agitated and lead to him being a homophobic who feels that he needs to protect the children of russia from gay who he believe are linked into pedophilic actions. The communication skills used and how body language at the start was relaxed and casual which then at the main factor of the interview showed dominance by leaning into the question through use of body language. Which also emphasised how throughout he was building up to a conclusion and actively listening so that he provides  what information the audience is being given and provide a conclusion to the whole interview through direct questions.

social action document- Libya's migrant trade- Europe or die


The purpose
the purpose of this documentary is to raise awareness of whats happening within Libya and how we should try to help through spreading the information given which links to another purpose of providing information towards the audience which would allow the audience to have more knowledge and understanding of the situation so they can feel more strongly about it.

Effectiveness as a social action documentary
the techniques they use to drag the audience in through use of personal experience and past stories of their journey for example how people have died of starvation to get to Europe and instead go in prison, which apply to the audience a building up effect of sympathy so you can manipulate them to make a change and do something about this situation as a huge community. The use of sound is used to manipulate the audiences thoughts and emotions through something like a vibration echo that sounds isolated to link in how the migrants are isolated within a place and no where else to go but europe.

personal response
My personal opinion of the situation and the documentary itself shows how people should be treated inhumanly just because they're taking a journey to their dream life within europe or another place. I really liked the way they showed how people travelling to europe and what they have
to go through by being discriminated and used as degraded citizens through the clip used where they show a man hitting all the migrants who are weak from the journey.

Reaction to KONY

In the video this presented to me that people believe deeply about what they want to change and if people are aware of the situation they could either stay silent or speak out. What I liked about this
was the step by step through cycling life from the american side gradually going towards the experience his friend Jacob went through and allow people to be dragged back into the video to watch it end, he also used professional aid within the video so that he could show how to stop this but also how people could contribute to stop Kony and the struggle of the children who been taken by the society. The key factors I saw used within the videos were using scenes within the area and repetition on the face of Kony so that the audience would remember the face to link in with poster and other campaigns, also through showing examples of how much work they been applying into the issue such as making so much work on social networks like Facebook but also going to the upper department and asking for assistance with military aid not go to combat with the army of youth but to get closer and closer into finding and arresting Kony. Overall I have learned that with hope and strong beliefs to make action towards your community within a matter that is drastic it would be possible to make a change.
