My topic for the multi-genre research project is going to be human trafficking. Human trafficking is the illegal act of trading humans either for labor or for sex. Human trafficking effects every nation across the globe and someone becomes a victim to modern-day slavery every 30 seconds. This topic is something that I am personally interested in because I find it crazy that there are more slaves today than in any other point in history and yet we hardly ever discuss the topic about modern-day slavery.
I have a close family friend who is graduating with a degree in psychology and her main goal is to eventually open up a safe house for sex trafficking victims. She has also attended A21 campaigns, which is an organization dedicated to human trafficking. I will talk to her over the phone this week to gather information and ask her some questions. My other source is the vice president of Convoy of Hope and this company helps spread awareness and prevent human trafficking. I will be communicating with him through email to ask questions and gain information. One of my other sources will be the A21 Campaign website.
I think this will topic will have a ton of information and tie offs that will end up with a really successful paper
ReplyDeleteI hate when people say that slavery is dead because it isn't. Sex trafficking needs to be address and I'm glad someone is
ReplyDeleteAwhhh you go girl this will be a great topic to research!
ReplyDeleteHave you thought about writing about the other forms of human trafficking like slave labor? It's good to see that you're writing about a cause that is international.
ReplyDeleteGreat topic choice! You'll find lots off information.
ReplyDeleteI've done a research paper on human trafficking. It's an awful thing, but you will find a lot of helpful and important information on this topic.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very important topic, and I feel like you have some great resources to be able to tackle such a huge issue.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy how there are more slaves today than there were. This sounds like an interesting subject.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really interesting and great idea. it should be brought to peoples attention so we can stop this issue. Cant wait to see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great topic to look into, and I'm glad that you have a good connection for the interview. I'm excited to see how your project turns out.
ReplyDeleteIt's so surreal that there are still so many cases of human trafficking, even in today's society. I love Convoy of Hope and I think that's a great source to use for this topic.
ReplyDeleteThis topic definitely has a lot of information to be accessed as there are many forms of human trafficking.
ReplyDeleteI love that you're doing this. Human trafficking is another topic that people think they know about but they don't realize everything that's going on. I'm excited to see this!
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone can learn from your topic that its not just something you see in the movies, because its a real life issue.
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome topic. It's crazy that something this is so relevant and happens so frequently, is overlooked.
ReplyDeleteI think you will do very well on this paper. You may be able to ask around and ask to talk to a person who was involved in human trafficking, but no longer is and get a view from both sides.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very heavy topic that I think you could do an excellent job of researching. I want to read it!
ReplyDeleteI never really knew it was such a huge issue around Springfield until you told me about it. I am super interested in what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteI read Trafficked this year, which is a fiction book about a character who gets trafficked and how it affected her. It was unbelievable. It opened my eyes to how often this actually happens. I'm so glad you picked this topic.
ReplyDeleteI think this will be an interesting topic and your research will be outstanding. Can't wait to read this.
ReplyDeleteDo you plan to just research trafficking within the U.S, or worldwide?
ReplyDeleteI have read a lot on this topic before, and it is sad but so inspiring to read about many different organizations and their dedication. Mercy Ministries Is a amazing organization, they have multiple safe house locations for women. Not only for victims of human trafficking but many other issues as well ( self-harm, drug addiction, eating disorders, sexual assault, etc). I'd suggest looking into them as a source.
ReplyDeletegood topic. I'm curious to see what age group this is focused one.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy how oblivious people can be to what is going on around them. Excited to see how this turns out!
ReplyDeleteI find it cool the plan that your friends has for the safe house, I think its really cool, and really caring!
