Promised a Better Life

Women and children are often caught in the trade because traffickers promise a better life for them. Traffickers will enter poverty struck villages and find families with young daughters and children. Traffickers, or middlemen of traffickers, promise a better for women and children, such as a chance for a job or education, (Flamm). In these villages women and children are taught to do as their parents say. These victims are promised a chance to get out of their poverty struck lives and have a new, better life. Obviously, this is not the case. These victims fall into sex work, prostitution, forced unwanted marriages, forced labor, all of which promise a lifetime of neglect and abuse, (Mah).
