Abstract

The purpose of this project is to inform not only individuals around the world about the global issue of human trafficking but to also hopefully inform individuals who would be put in these potential situations of seeking interest in being a part of human trafficking and urging them not to by presenting facts to them. We are hoping to gain new insight on first hand experiences with some individuals who have unfortunately had to experience this in order to inform others with real facts and real events. We are currently hoping to find individuals to interview because we have been struggling with getting contacts especially because it is so hard to reach these individuals based on their circumstances and getting them comfortable enough to share. We are going to use secondary research and resources of already conducted interviews and compare them to one another if we continue to struggle with attaining these interviews. I hypothesize that our project will produce more data information and map tracking about where these occurred as well as governmental proposals and ones already put in place to prevent this but it might lack some of the interview aspect I was hoping to include but again that is very understandable.
