Why do people traffic women and girls?
Content: The coco industry has been investigated over the past 5 years for trafficking their workers and paying them very little money for the magnitude of work they do. Children are exposed to chemicals, long working hours, and the denial of a decent education. Low prices in the cocoa industry have left smallholder farmers with impoverished incomes and with no choice but to pull their children from school and have them help on the plantation. Sex business thrive in all areas (rural, suburban and urban). Some people in the sex industry operate legally, yet function illegally behind closed doors. Examples of this is a night club, which is legal. However, in the night club, the women who work there are there illegally, that is not paid enough (if not any) money at all and are forced to be there. Many sex enterprises are constantly changing not only the location, but also the venues of operating the business. Sex trafficking can be extremely profitable, especially in areas where opportunities for education and legitimate employment may be limited. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the greatest numbers of traffickers are from Asia, followed by Central and Southeastern Europe, and Western Europe.
