- Oasis USA is part of a global family of nations that are working with the poor, ostracized and disadvantaged people around the world. We are in 10 countries and over 15 major cities helping people who have been left out and marginalized be reintegrated, find their voice and become part of community life once again. As Oasis is involved in integrated holistic community development, it means that our work around the world can be different within each community as no two communities are totally alike. Therefore, Oasis is involved in fighting human traffiking, education, health care, developing community businesses and a host of other initiatives that help strengthen local communities and disadvantaged people group.
- In the early 90 ’ s as we worked in India we came face to face with an insidious problem that was affecting every community, namely human traffiking. As we worked with women trapped in prostitution and impacted by HIV & AIDS in Mumbai and children living on the railway stations we came to see the nature of the trafficking scenario. in the early 90 ‘ s most women in the red light area of Mumbai had been kidnapped, raped and brought to the brothels of Mumbai to be sold and abused. The children we worked with and who lived on the railway stations of Mumbai were abused by police, gangs and traffickers. In one instance two children who normally came to one of the Oasis drop in centers disappeared and we found out that they had been sold by their alcoholic father for approx. $20 so that he could obtain more alcohol. Those children were never found. As a result of these and other situations that Oasis encountered in its work we started an open global campaign to highlight the issue of Human Traffiking. This campaign has turned into a movement called STOP THE TRAFFIK of which the leader, a minister called Steve Chalk, is now a special advisor to the United Nations GIFT program. Global Initiative fighting Traffiking. Also through global advocacy and community action Oasis has been involved in helping over 300 women and children be rescued from human trafficking situations. However, we are also aware that there are many people within the USA who need to be told about HT and others who need to be rescued from HT situations and helped to find a place back in community life. As one of our hopes is that people are rescued, restored and reintegrated back into community life, We, therefore, need to educate the community and help a community be the place of change for its own population. “ We are told that it takes a village to bring up a child, we also believe that it takes a community to care, protect and develop a child. ” Therefore, Oasis USA has initiated and further developing a grassroots network called TRAFFICK FREE COMMUNITY groups. A TFC consist of a group of people who are willing to educate, advocate, train and equip their local community to make it too hot for traffickers to operate.
- People trafficking is the fastest growing means by which people are trapped in slavery. It is the fastest growing form of organized crime, with at least one person being trafficked across international borders every minute. That ’ s the equivalent of five jumbo jets full every day. It is the largest source of income for organized crime, worth more than 1000 dollars per second, or over 30 billion dollars a year. That ’ s more than Microsoft makes, and twice the turnover of Coca Cola. Eighty percent of victims are female and fifty percent are children, thus making the majority of victims teenage girls. They are trafficked for forced labour and sexual exploitation, mainly by organized gangs for profit. Trafficking affects every country in the world, whether it be a source country where victims are trafficked from, a transit country where victims are trafficked through, or a destination country where people are trafficked to. People trafficking is not then and there, but right here, right now.
- Modern-day slavery is unfortunately alive and well. There are more slaves now than there were in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and it now takes many different forms. Debt bondage is when people are trapped in a cycle of taking out loans and making repayments in an effort to escape poverty. Descent slavery is when people are born into a discriminated group, such as the Dalits of India or groups in Niger. Domestic servitude is when people are deceived and abused whilst working for someone else. Forced labour is when people are coerced into trading and using guns, drugs, sex, forced labour, begging, religious sacrifices, and fraud.
- There is a myriad of pathways that people journey into slavery. However they are generally covered by three key factors: Force, Fraud and Coercion It can be a combinations of these factors.
- Ads for young people to join a gang selling magazines, etc.... The various large conventions and major sporting events will have people trafficked into them. The up coming super bowl event will have people/ children traffiked in to it. In fact there is an advocacy organization called change.org that is trying to get the organizing community to make a statement but at the moment to no avail. The Texas governor has highlighted the issue but not the organizers yet. Gorilla pimps Romeo pimps
- Poverty - people are bought and sold, families and individuals are looking for abetter life, etc... Allows people to prey on others as is the case in the Global Horizons situation...explain Sometimes law enforcement is complicit in the crime and protect the gangs. Kosovo allegations are being made against the Leader there. UN troops in Africa are being implemented, even forces in Afghanistan are reported to turning a blind eye. Women and children are not held in high regard.... War, civil unrest and family breakdowns allow people to prey on others.
- Example of the man at the party and his friend saving up to go to south america and do whatever he wanted with whoever he wanted.
- Trap homes, explain.... kids in magazine selling gangs controlled by traffickers.... 60-85% of women who are victims of prostitution were victims of child abuse. foster-care, runaways, etc At least 100,000 children are at risk of being sex trafficked in the U.S. every year. Child sex trafficking victims experience violent trauma, manipulation, and are often arrested and detained in juvenile detention. They need safe places like shelters to recover from that abuse, as well as medical and mental health care, education, legal services, financial support, and a number of other services. But for all these victims, there are only a handful of shelter beds and a few measly scraps of funding for services like counseling. Right now, there aren't enough aftercare facilities to serve even 1% of the estimated victims of child sex trafficking in the U.S. The lack of shelter for child trafficking victims is a national crisis.
