From the Paper:

"It is a matter of fact that the modern era of human trafficking has emerged due in large part to the globalization of the international economy. With the development of lightning fast communication methods, literal overnight transportation of almost any item to any corner of the earth from anywhere else, and a world population that is gradually becoming the most active group of consumers as compared to any other time in world history, it was inevitable that along with the growth of legitimate business entities in a global capacity, so too would the growth of illegal businesses, which seek to whet international appetites for stolen goods, sex, drugs, underground medical treatments, and much more. With the demand for illegal goods, services and commodities speaking out, obviously, individuals and syndicates would step forward to fulfill these requests, of course, for a price. "
