Questions:

In the last couple of classes, we discussed the victims of human trafficking. We watched several videos from different regions (one about forced labor in the making of Qatar’s soccer stadium, one about Kenyan women traveling to Saudi Arabia for domestic and care work, one about the Rohingya crisis, one about missing migrants from North West African and South Asian countries trying to enter to Europe using boats or the one in which many South Americans trekking the Darien Gap to reach to the US border) that demonstrated how vulnerabilities turn into human smuggling and trafficking. Using the examples discussed in the several videos, instances, and events discussed in chapter 04 (The Victims of Human Trafficking), write a short essay identifying factors and demographic and individual characteristics that make victims vulnerable to traffickers.
