AFRICA (COMMONWEALTH UNION) – Human trafficking is not an unknown thing as it happens all over the world. What is a known thing is that sometimes traffickers try to justify this and that is truly horrible. There is no possible way that one can even think let alone actually justify trafficking human beings no matter what the situation.
Now it has been noted that there is no happy ending in human trafficking and it is not only young children that are forcefully taken and sold in human trafficking rings. There are human trafficking rings all over the world and people are trafficked for various reasons. There are children who are kidnapped and sold, you people trafficked for prostitution, then there is the fact that there are people trafficked for their organs to be sold in the black market.
Now whilst not every one might die in these trafficking situations there are some who don’t survive but the ones that do survive have trauma throughout their lives which will eventually lead to them taking their own lives or to being institutionalized.
Coming back to topic there has been many deaths reported in the south African trafficking rings. Although these are not even close to the real numbers, they are the numbers that there is on record and it is devastating.
There are many Africans that are being trafficked and the highest trafficked numbers are from Malawi. It was not clear if the deaths reported were adults or a mix of adults or children. But when the ring was found by authorities all they found on record was that there were 85 people dead from Malawi.
The people being trafficked from Malawi some are unaware they are being trafficked so its more of an abduction then being sold into either prostitution or as an organ donor or the second type which is they are promised riches beyond what they can imagine.
The horrific thing was that this number 85 was just an average of how many Malawians die at the hand of the traffickers every month in the South African trafficking rings. The authorities are doing everything they can to make sure that this kind of thing can be prevented but it seems like a long journey right now.
