Why Human Trafficking?

This was a story done in Ermelo, South Africa regarding prostitutes are the main reason why this small town attracted them, which was human trafficking. It was sad to see that a child as young as the age of 16 was being treated like a slave and forced into prostitution. It was sad to see that many women suffered horrific situations such as being raped or killed because they didn't want to work. I cant imagine myself being in a situation like this and being forced to do things against my will. Just think about Innocent children that are put into this predicament because of family or situations that was out of their hands. I think the justice system needs to tighten up on this because it is just not right. It seems as though there would be laws implemented against this to help protect women and children of younger ages from being exploited. I know this tends to happen in countries where labor is not all that good and they have to face abuse and unsafe situations.
