From the Paper
"According to a separate report, "Migrant trafficking and smuggling has become a global business generating huge profits for traffickers and organized crime syndicates." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) In fact in a study conducted by IOM reports "...an estimated 15 to 30 million irregular migrants worldwide." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) Sadly a report of the U.S. Department of Justice states that an estimated "...700,000 women and children are trafficked yearly across borders." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) The reason stated that so many of these migrants go unreported is due to the inherent "...clandestine nature..." involved in so many of the lives and migration of these individuals."

From the Paper
"Trafficking, debt bondage, forced labor, and other abuse commonly suffered by women during migration from Thailand to Japan, as well as their employment in Japan is stated to "constitute violations of the human rights of the women." Further stated is that "These rights are enumerated in international conventions that Japan and Thailand have acceded to or ratified, thereby committing their governments to take the steps necessary to uphold these rights and to provide redress when violations occur." Discrimination suffered in the two countries is illustrated by the numbers of women who suffer and yet the international obligations of the government to check the facilitation of these crimes by the government officials reflects that discriminatory protection in human rights issues. The violation of prohibiting discrimination in the human rights protection is clearly a violation of the laws set out by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (IPPCR)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the U.S. government concludes that nearly 800,000 to 900,000 men and women are trafficked between international borders in addition to nearly 1.2 million children who have been sold into slavery to become prostitutes or servants. It looks at how various organizations have manned the forefront to combat these unimaginable crimes and how each organization has a conflicting opinion of the best solution to prevent this atrocity against human rights.
From the Paper
"Across the globe thousands of children are sold or kidnapped into slavery each year (Perry). These children are sold as prostitutes, camel jockeys, fisherman, beggars, and servants, and in some cases soldiers (Perry). Children from Asia, Latin America and Africa are considered the most vulnerable because in many of these regions "two-thirds of the population lives on less than $1 a day, the compensation for the temporary loss of a child keeps the rest of the family from going hungry (Lafraniere). Some parents argue that their children are better off learning a trade than starving at home" (Lafraniere). Many of these children are in fact "leased" by their parents for a small amount of money each year, usually not exceeding $100 (Lafraniere). "

Abstract
This paper explains that the three basic human trafficking markets, both legal and illegal, are (1) the legitimate or conventional market economies such as restaurants, factories and farms, (2) legitimate domestic service economy such as households maids and (3) the criminal economies of the forced sex industry, mostly prostitution. The author points out that, through deception and empty promises, people and even children are shuttled in secret, often illegally and in frightening conditions, to do work, which no one else will do, to places where they often cannot communicate and are forced to work through threats of violence. The paper relates that there are few resources to help these victims and very limited legal protection in the United States and elsewhere. The paper has many long quotations.

"Here are just a few statements from women who have been victims of human trafficking and forced prostitution. There are more stories than there are people to write them and more dehumanizing occurrences than most people would even believe. Yet, for the most part the public is not even aware of the situation; even historically, as few people know of the forced prostitution rings that sprang up in the Western United States during the gold rush and even fewer are aware that it happens today, here and all over the world."

Prostitution and Human Trafficking, 2008.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that tackling the issue of human trafficking and prostitution in Europe is a difficult one because the information available is rarely comprehensive or complete. The writer points out that prostitution is, for the most part, an underground economy, which is harder to collect statistical information about, and illegal immigrant prostitution is an even murkier research landscape. This paper attempts to deconstruct arguments made about human trafficking and prostitution in Europe. Sources used are academic texts and journals, as well as some more mainstream content. This paper imparts some idea as to how awkwardly large the question is, as well as the challenges that researchers will face when collecting data and suggesting new policies that might ease the suffering of women caught up in the vicious circles of immigrant prostitution in Europe.
From the Paper
"Bort believes that it is important to discuss the existing correlations will help people discern how the connection of crime and illegal immigration is forged by poverty. He supports this view by discussing the issues surrounding the quality of life at two sides of a border where one nation enjoys a higher standard of living than the other, with the obvious point that the tendency is for women to be shipped west from less affluent eastern countries. Ultimately, he points to financial despair and disparity, along with cloudy ideas about border policy as being primary sources of the existing problem. The evidence he presents sounds plausible, but it is all cited as secondary sources, with little hard data for the reader to digest. Though the sources are from respectable government and academic institutions, there are no hard numbers crunched in Bort's report."

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of human trafficking, focusing primarily on the issue of prostitution. According to the paper, this is just a modern day version of slavery as many are transported and sold against their will or without their knowledge, believing various false reasons for their movement. Many of the victims of human trafficking are underage minors.
From the Paper
"The human trafficking of women for the vice trades, mainly forced prostitution in a multitude of countries is a problem so monumental that most officials see no end to the problem. Resources are poor for the destruction of even the most large-scale offenders and most are under the false impression that the women arrive voluntarily, knowing the life they will follow when they arrive. It is a way to excuse the fact that all but the illegal immigration issues are perfectly acceptable and legal to many of the governments in the locations where the women end up. (Askew 328) Here are just a few statements from women who have been victims of human trafficking and forced prostitution."

Abstract
The paper explains that human trafficking is the smuggling of people against their will for use mainly in forced labor or prostitution. The paper shows how modern innovations such as the Internet have changed the face of human trafficking in many ways and have made contacting and abducting victims easier than ever before. The paper relates that while most of the victims end up in the slave trade, others are forced into domestic service, hard labor or other forms of work.
From the Paper
"What exactly is human trafficking? Many drug smugglers use people to traffic their drugs across country borders, but that is not the type of human trafficking discussed here. Human trafficking is the actual trade of human beings to foreign countries. Researchers Julie Cwikel and Elizabeth Hoban note the definition, "[A]cknowledges that when deception, threats, violence, and fraud are used, even in cases where women have consented to entering a work contract, the abrogation of their human rights constitutes trafficking" (Cwikel and Hoban)."

The writer argues that the mother's human rights would take precedence over the "potential life" of the fetus, and once the fetus has transitioned to "actual life" then the mother's rights would be seriously limited.

"This research paper discusses the nature and course of the movements for civil rights and women's rights in the United States during the 1860s and draws appropriate comparisons and contrasts between them.
The principal struggle for civil rights related to improving the political, legal and, to a lesser extent, the economic status of blacks in the South, their emancipation from slavery and succor by the North during the Civil War (1860-1865) and their achievement of suffrage and other rights during the initial phases of Reconstruction (1865-1870). Emancipation only gradually became a central goal of Union policy during the war and its full parameters were far from settled by the time President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Reconstruction policy followed an even..."

Sex Trafficking, 2008.

Abstract
This paper presents the opening statement of the debate that human sex trafficking as an accepted part of society and human sex trafficking can be addressed with success in the social order. The author contends that, while the argument suggesting that sex trafficking cannot be addressed effectively in society does have merit, the strength of the argument supporting an end to sex trafficking is supported by greater evidence. The paper concludes that through government intervention, public participation and an aggressive approach to the issue, sex trafficking can be ended in society without question.

From the Paper
"According to Matthews, the sex trafficking business is supported by conditions in society that are detrimental to human existence (sec. 1). Poverty, homelessness and hunger are only a few of these conditions. These factors serve to support sex trafficking because often times children leave their homes and become part of the sex trafficking trade because they are promised a better life than they presently know. Parents sell their children to sex traffickers in many countries because the prices that are offered will provide food for the remaining siblings. "

From Natural Law to Human Rights, 2006.
This essay explores how human rights grew from natural rights.
4,511 words (approx. 18.0 pages), 12 sources, MLA, $ 117.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer declares that early proponents of natural law argued that people have common sense and are born with an intuitive knowledge of right and wrong. This paper discusses that human rights are those rights that are based on human nature. The writer examines how human rights grew from natural rights. It argues that conceptions of right and wrong are not based on an unchanging, eternal order, but are negotiable; that is, open to revision as the years go by and times change. It is seen, for example, how women and children have used natural rights arguments to gain rights that formerly were denied them.
The writer concludes that human rights have evolved from natural law and natural rights and that human rights are intimately connected to morality and ethics.

"More than anyone else the philosopher John Locke influenced the shape and form of democracy in the United States. He argued that human beings have certain fundamental rights, which governments cannot take away. He argued that no individual has a natural right to rule over others, and that a person's natural state is a state of freedom. Freedom, he explained, was not the same as license or permission to do whatever one wants; rather, freedom is based on the "law of reason which places precise limits on our behavior". Not everyone is able to enjoy their natural rights because other people and the government sometimes violate them; therefore, Locke suggested that men assemble and choose leaders who can be trusted to protect their natural rights. The primary function of government ought to be to protect the natural rights of its citizens, to protect citizens from other states, and to establish and maintain internal order. He suggested that oppressive governments (governments that had broken trust with the people) could, and should, be overthrown; in other words, sometimes, revolution is justified--especially if the government violates the natural rights of its citizens. In questions where natural rights are not the issue, then the will of the majority should prevail. His ideas profoundly inspired the Founding Fathers and the Declaration of Independence; moreover, the Constitution was written mainly to protect the people's rights from government interference, to insure internal order, and to establish defense."

Canadian and Aboriginal Rights, 2007.
This paper explores whether aboriginal rights can coexist with other rights in Canada.
1,567 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 51.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that when Europeans colonized the land, the native inhabitants become a class of citizens that were treated as different and inferior to the conquering classes. The paper relates that as liberal western democracy attempts to establish equal rights for all citizen groups and as native groups learn how to press their claims, competing claims for land and treasure have been raised. The paper explores whether aboriginal rights can coexist with other rights and posits that coexistence is possible and even necessary, within the systems of government that Canadians have developed.
From the Paper
"When the European colonizers established colonies throughout the North American continent, they came into contact and conflict with the native inhabitants that had dwelt in the land for centuries. Their initial contacts were colored by curiosity and concern on the part of both natives and colonizers. However, as colonies were established and the European hunger for land proved incessant, concern became alarm and even progressed to war in many cases. Colonizers were viewed as invaders by natives and the natives were viewed as uncivilized savages by colonists. The colonists' push across the continent resulted in land being contested and treaties being formulated, altered, and broken."
