"An ounce of cocaine wholesale: $1,200. But you can only sell it once. A woman or child: $50 to $1,000. But you can sell them each day, every day, over and over again. The markup is immeasurable." This quote taken from the movie “Human Trafficking” helps to explain the horrifying reality of what truly is going on in the world right under our noses each and every day. Human trafficking is a broad term used to describe modern day slavery. It can be the trade of humans for sexual slavery, forced labor, or for the extraction of organs. Human trafficking has been around for centuries but it is not just a thing of the past, but also a growing problem for our present and our future. With the enormous revenue made by traffickers the market for human slaves is consistently growing and it almost seems impossible to stop this illegal activity. Human trafficking not only affects individual victims but also challenges the security of a nation and prohibits people from enjoying their natural rights as a human being. Most people believe that human trafficking only happens in foreign or poor countries but that is not the case. Even here in the United States, a land built upon freedom, slavery is still very much alive.

I. First main point: In the United States people are very fortunate to not have to worry about human trafficking everyday. However, people should give it a little more thought than they do.
A. Sub-point#1: According to an article written by an American survivor on stophumantraffickingny.com. Dai grew up and lived in America for 21 years and was just one of many who was forced into sexual slavery.
