What are the problems\u00a0girls are facing in developing Asian countries today?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are primarily two problems that gravely threaten young people in Asia today: human trafficking and poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human Trafficking Risk<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Human Trafficking<\/strong> is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of people through force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them for profit.”\u00a0 (United Nations<\/a>)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How severe is the problem of human trafficking?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Today, there are 49.6 million people in modern slavery worldwide and 35% of them are\u00a0children. (ILO<\/a>,United Nations<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human trafficking is a global problem affecting people \u200bof all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Child sex trafficking has been reported in\u00a0all 50 U.S. states<\/a>. (NCMEC)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope for Justice estimates that modern slavery\u00a0and\u00a0human trafficking\u00a0generate illicit profits of well over\u00a0US$245 billion every year\u00a0<\/strong>(excluding forced marriage). Narcotics trafficking and human trafficking are often intertwined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Human Trafficking in the U.S.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is estimated that approximately 1,000,000\u200b people are trafficked each year globally and between\u200b 20,000\u00a0 and 50,000 are trafficked into the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human trafficking is the second most profitable illegal industry in the U.S. (UNICEF<\/a>)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US is one of the largest destinations for victims\u200b of the sex trafficking trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sex Slavery and Human Trafficking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sex slavery involves children at an estimated 58 percent of all trafficking activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most prevalent form of human trafficking that results in servitude is the recruitment and transport of people into the international sex trade industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost\u00a01.7 million children\u00a0are exploited in sex trafficking.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victims of sexual slavery are often manipulated into believing that they are being relocated to work in legitimate forms of employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second Major Problem: Poverty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Poverty is a major factor in the recruitment of\u00a0human trafficking victims. Desperate people do desperate things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poverty in Thailand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Poverty is on the rise in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rise in poverty is mainly due to economic reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feminization of poverty refers to the higher likelihood that women will experience poverty than men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the demographics that poverty affects the most in Thailand is children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poverty in Laos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Vision Launch Discover, 90 percent of Lao people lived off of $1 a day in the 1990s; now, this number is only\u00a0about $1.25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forty-four percent, or 363,000, of Lao children under 5 years old are affected by stunting, a highly common condition in Laos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 60 percent of children are malnourished and anemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education<\/a>\u00a0is scarce; therefore, people are forced to work in agriculture<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to UNESCO, more than 4,000 villages lack access to education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poverty in Nepal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Around 5 million people in Nepal are undernourished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nepal has been the victim of\u00a0numerous natural disasters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nepal\u2019s government is known for being corrupt.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For every 1,000 children born in Nepal,\u00a035 died before<\/a>\u00a0their fifth birthday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lack of advanced farming methods makes it hard for progress against poverty in Nepal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poverty in the Philippines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Data indicates that 16.6% of the population, or about\u00a017.6 million people, live under the poverty line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Philippines is\u00a0exposed to more natural disasters\u00a0than any other nation in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For every 1,000 babies born,\u00a028 die before they turn 5\u00a0years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An estimated\u00a064% of Filipino households\u00a0struggle with food insecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
