The Right To Say No

Posted by Focus Pacific on August 22nd, 2024

Our world is filled with all sorts of cruel human being. They would even go as far as violating human rights by the means of human trafficking. Human trafficking is a big infraction of human rights. People who falls into the hand of the traffickers are being forced to do labors or services, to be a slave and to be a prostitute.

Being forced to do things you don’t want to do is such an awful feeling. Waking up in the morning and wishing everything will just end because you can’t take it anymore. And the pain is abominable and you just feel like wanting to die. These people probably had their whole life ahead of them. And in just a matter of seconds, it was destroyed. They have the right to say no but, their pleas for help is ignored. Just one mistake and that mistake is that they got deceived. And because of that, their whole life suddenly came tumbling down.

For one mistake, the penalty shouldn’t be this big. Big enough to destroy and traumatize someone throughout their whole life. During this period, they may be free from the chains of cruelness but, they won’t ever forget it. They would constantly have hallucinations that they are still in the hands of the traffickers. They would have nightmares and it may even take a lifetime for them to trust and have contact with other people.

And this is all happening mostly for the sake of money. These traffickers would sell or trade their earn for something beneficial. They are selling lives and as long as they have the money, no care is given to those are sold. They are most likely sold to equally cruel and heartless people who makes them do things they don’t want at all. As long as the cruel people has a hold to their lives, they won’t be free to do anything they desire.

As long as these cruel people are around, nothing is assured and safe. Authorities have been trying their very best to possibly stop this. But there has been a lot of cases of missing person which the reason as to why they are disappearing could be human trafficking. Human trafficking should be put to a complete stop. Human rights should prevail for we all have the right to say no.
