I am most interested in Human Trafficking. This is such an important issue because it is so hidden. It could be occurring in your neighborhood and you would never know. Every day thousands of men, women, and children go missing and are never found. Many of those are trafficked across international borders and die in slavery. More people need to take efforts in this issue. I plan on being one of them. How this relates to Forensic Social work is a combination of things. When dealing with the legal system many improvements are needed in this field. We must advocate for laws to protect the victims of trafficking, as well as create task forces to attack these prostitution rings at their core while creating organizations to help victims. The unfamiliarity with this issue has caused there to be very few organizations and laws in affect, in helping fight this modern day slavery. Therefore, Forensic Social Work is the foundation in which we should be building our efforts on. Laws and advocacy is just the seed to a world without ANY form of slavery.
