Strategies to Curb Human Trafficking

May 16, 2005

STABILITY AND SUITABLE ECONOMY Slave trade began when the africans knew nothing about wat they had in possession. It's richly blessed wit mineral resources and good weather for plantung. But due to greed and selfishness, the kings sold out people in exchange for perfumes and other pleasantries.

The world has changed. It's assumed thet the old days there were no system of economy so we cannot really tell if the economy was good. But it is assumed to be good because everything was easy and sufficient. Politics was then introduced into the world and then most countries began developin and in so doin it has really affect the african communities as a whole. It's difficult for african countries to attain a stable economy or suitable econeomy because most countries are still undeveloped or developing. If we can attain and maintain a good economy,the continent as a whole would grow and become rich thereby making life suitable and bearable by citizens and individuals. If life is not suitable for people they would look forward to leave the country and in so doing they would look for the easiest way and cheaper way which is through human trafficking.

DEEP INVESTIGATIONS ON TRAVELLERS Most investigations are not deep or thorough so that's why it's difficult to curb traffickers. For example,a man travellin out of the country carries like twenty people that are not his family members or relatives along with him. The interpol are suppose to go for thorough investigationas and know the type of business the person is handling and now his bank account,try to know whether it's possible for him to generate such an amount from a job. It's not because he has excess money,they should even search them well because it's the big people that are always involved in such things.

CREATION OF LAWS AND SUPERVISON FROM SUPERIOR COUNTRIES

If laws are created and well administered,it would really help in the curbing of human trafficking.U sing my country as an example, when Queen Victoria of England{R.I.P} in 1851 sent a message to king Kosoko of lagos to stop the slave trading he refused and then She sent troops and there was a little war. The king was dethroned and he's son took over.Then the queen sent the same message and the present king obeyed and the human trafficking was almost dead before the king died and another king took over. The only reason why the human traffickin almost ended was that because king Kosoko's son obeyed and complied wit the law created. In so doing he led by eaxample

ERADICATING CORRUPTION

Corruption is a difficult problem to solve. When it's eaten by country it's difficult to chew swallow ,digest,or even vommit.I t's mostly common in most developing or under developin countries and continents because the citizens and individuals are always wantin to get richer and richer,thereby tryin every means to get money.I n a country where corruption is high, it's difficult to curb or eradicate corruption because it's the top people supporting it and they aren't leading by example.If at all a country wants to eradicate human trafficking it should eradicate corruption and they should start from the rich ones and not the poor ones and the same law mus be applicable to everyone and in so doin no one should be above the law...
