Abstract
Happiness is a subjective emotion that can quickly be twisted by the depravity of humanity’s sinful nature. Human trafficking deprives an individual’s natural right to life, liberty, and their pursuit to happiness. Of the two divisions of human trafficking, sex trafficking, especially involving children, is the most despicable and most evolved. The United States and further the state of Virginia is a crucial player in combating human trafficking. While there are currently many successful tactics state governments and nonprofit groups are utilizing in order eliminate human trafficking there are further more intense strategies the Virginia State Government should implement. One aspect of human trafficking is prostitution, which currently is becoming a socially acceptable form of work that allows for more individuals to be held captive in slavery. Another aspect of human trafficking is pornography, which has been deemed a right by federal courts but, is an increasing way to involve more children in human trafficking. There are several proposed solutions for these problems, all of which would greatly reduce the number of victims impacted by the deprave human beings trying to seek their own happiness by depriving the pursuit from another.
