Human trafficking in Myanmar

Human trafficking is a crime where a person is controlled by someone and

exploited you for their benefits earning money. They persuade people and they are
moving one place to another due to make you for sale. Human traffficking is
confused with human smuggling. Smugglers as well as traffickers make use of other
people’s desire to improve their lives by building up a better future elsewhere.
Human smuggling primarily relates to illegal immigration and the violation of
immigration laws. Human smugglers move people and provide a bridge between poor or
dangerous countries and richer, safer ones. Usually the relationship between
smugglers and smuggled persons
ends after the transport to the country of destination. In human trafficking, the
situation is different. Human trafficking often, but not necessarily, involves
border crossing. After arrival, trafficked persons must produce profits for the
traffickers. Their relationships with the traffickers, or with organizations or
individuals who have paid for their delivery, are longer term, victim-exploiter
relationships, in which the human rights of the victim are being abused. Human
smuggling basically involves mutual consent between illegal immigrants and
‘smugglers’, who are either family, friends, or more distant professional
smugglers. There are many reasons people want to migrate despite increasingly
repressive Western migration regimes: imminent danger, discomfort, and poverty,
combined with the prospect of a better life elsewhere. Next to these push factors,
major pull factors are wage differences, dual labor markets in Western countries
(stable, high -paying jobs combined with labor shortages for unstable, low-paying
jobs), and the welfare state, particularly in Myanmar. Within Burma, men, women,
and children from predominantly ethnic minority areas—including more than 107,000
persons displaced by conflict in Kachin and northern Shan states and at least
150,000 displaced persons in Rakhine state—are at increased risk of trafficking.
