Human trafficking is a form of slavery that still flourishes in some countries and sectors of society. The victims of trafficking are mainly women and children, who are taken abroad and used in the underground sex industry. Signs that a person has fallen into slavery are the use of violence and threats, forced labor, confiscation of identity documents, attribution of debts, restriction of freedom, deception and abuse of trust.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not borrow money from individuals. You can become a victim of human trafficking by falling into debt bondage. Most often, a person is offered such conditions for returning a loan that he cannot pay off and is forced to work for a lender for free. At the same time, the debt continues to grow and can be inherited by the victim's relatives.
Step 2
If you are planning to find a job abroad, find out if the company that helps you find a job has an appropriate license. Examine the contract you are signing. It must indicate the working and living conditions, wages, medical insurance. Check what kind of visa you are applying for. Some companies issue a tourist visa under the pretext of its cheapness. However, you can work in another country only with a work visa. Naturally, the lack of a license, the wrong visa and a poorly executed contract does not mean that you are going to be sold into slavery. However, there are other problems that can be avoided.
Step 3
The tricks of the company's employees seeking to send you abroad in any way should alert you. For example, you are offered a clearly inflated salary without any educational or work experience requirements. Look for information about the company on the Internet, ask your friends if someone got a job with their help. Don't be gullible - “free” cheese usually comes at a price.
Step 4
When leaving for work, inform your friends and family about where you are going, for how long. Leave them the addresses and phone numbers of the planned places of residence. Specify how long you will contact them. With you, preferably in a secret pocket, you should take: copies of documents (in case the originals are taken away from you), money (for a possible return home), phone numbers of embassies, "hot" lines, emergency services, etc.
