When I worked in hospitality it was mandatory training to spot trafficked individuals. You see a lot of shit in hotels. I’ll never forget the time a girl came running up to us in the lobby terrified because a couple of men tried to grab her off the curb while she was waiting for a friend on a very busy street. If you see something say something, and trust your gut, you might just save someone’s life.
Seriously, though. I thought I saw a study a decade or two ago where Russia and America were pretty high up there. So like, America as usual has done nothing.
Looking at US Government
So you can’t house your people, feed your people, provide healthcare to your people, or apparently even protect your people.
What would you say you do around here?
I mean, how much of this was driven by demand from US citizens? How much of it is catering to people from the US?
US, Ukraine, Philippines, Mexico…what do they all have in common?
We already know the US is number 1 in everything else, so being the top demand for international human trafficking should follow.
I would imagine that with the massive wealth disparity the US is probably both a source and destination for human trafficking victims.
Note Ukraine 16% even before the war, just Maidan coup made them like this.
It was before the coup as well.
Yeah it follows the economic crisises (and thus western interventions which always cause/worsen economic crisis) in Ukraine. But the real spike has been after 2014, when millions of Ukrainians went legally to Poland and through it rest of EU, followed by similar numbers of illegal immigrants, mostly women, who were as usual prime target for trafficking. Then 2022 war caused another wave, but i noticed western media completely ignoring the 2014+ immigration and try to portray them all as wartime refugees.
When the US brings freedom and democracy to your country.
When is there going to be a man on fire remake but set in America instead of Mexico?
