Introduction
Human dignity features the recognition of human value and intrinsic humanity that deserves respect. Human rights protect individuals, while trafficking treats them as trade commodities (Chandrappa 250). Ideally, human trafficking tramples fundamental human rights by denying them the opportunity to make decisions or move freely. At the same time, trafficking does not observe human dignity as the people being trafficked are accorded any respect. Both human dignity and human rights fall victim to trafficking because the affected people have no position to express their emotions or negotiate the circumstances under which they are kept.
Discussion
While all humans deserve to be treated equally in dignity and rights, trafficking creates a loophole where the victims are held in slavery or servitude. In human trafficking, subjection to torture or cruel treatment is not an option (Dong 4). The ability of all traffickers to take human rights away degrades the subjects and exposes them to punishments for non-compliance. Even when human rights movements are made against human trafficking, the chances of preventing these practices are minimal, as victims do not even know their worth or fundamental rights.
Human trafficking violates the rights associated with human dignity and is a crime. The practice was done in the slavery era when people were transferred to various areas in the western region. African countries suffered coercion to offer cheap labor and commercial sex (Katsina, 151). During this time, the abducted people were weak and could not air their thoughts on something since there was no room for negotiation. Trafficking in the present affects many people, with a significant focus on the vulnerable, like children. Exploitation weakens enslaved people through the fraud and force applied by the traffickers. Victimization in America focuses on unlawful immigrants, primarily black and colored-people.
Traffickers vary in nationality, education level, and sex due to the difference in trafficking types. They can be family members, acquaintances, partners, or strangers who want to punish certain people (Forbes and Stellar 16). Children traffickers request money from the family and threaten to harm the child in their custody. In most cases, trafficking is an organized crime that involves a gang and the trafficker. This abduction revolves around male-to-female traffickers who earn from the unruly activity. Some conditions are set, especially if the traffickers are company owners in abducting a targeted employee based on their reasons.
Human rights present the freedom of a people with no room for slavery and servitude abductions. Human rights condemn inhumanity, maltreatment, torture, and cruelty subjected to enslaved and captives (Makhija 209). The acts used are regular recruitment, control, harboring, transport, and transfer in which the victims may never suspect it may be trafficking. These activities require means and purpose to achieve the trafficking goal successfully. The standards applied are violence, abduction, coercion, fraud, deception, and vulnerability. These powers lead to the trafficking fulfillment for sexual exploitation, slavery, labor force, organ removal, and servitude.
Conclusion
Sometimes human rights do not fully control this trafficking action. Very few people are sensitive to human dignity and the human aspect. The human specialty is worth respect concerning intrinsic human values. The insensitiveness fails to recognize self-worth since people do not understand the pride in dignity. Practicing and adhering to all human rights can control trafficking issues. Power misuse is part of going against human rights since it does not consider the poor and the vulnerable. If all people think about human rights and dignity, human life will be sacred, and supporting the weak will be vital worldwide.
