issues of human trafficking
i believe human trafficking is a big issue becuse people think that its not a very big concern which leads to the poor form of government. there are different types of people in this world but the ones that traffick girls are ones that greed for money. they wont care about what anybody say about them . they just want to get the money in a cycle that even involves cops that are bribed into not telling the secret. the government thinks other issues are more important than girls and boys being trafficked but they should know that their human too. they are held against their will and trapped because they dont have a voice for life. i think that the government should be more involved in humaan trafficking. if a bunch of 8th graders can raise $600 in 1 day, why cant the government help? this is the reason why people around the world get tortured and ruined. people should start thinking about how would it feel like if they were the ones getting trafficked.

The Issue of Human Traffacking
I Believe Human Traffacking is such a big issue because many people don't really care about this. I Think the governener might think that girls don't really matter or that they are not the same as boys . They should know that boys are just like girls and should be equal. Also if people DO Know about this issue they could just get money and they will tell them to keep their mouths shut. Many people like these are reasons why girls are still in trouble and are being treated badly.

The Issue of Human Trafficking
I believe a human rights issue such as Human Trafficking continues to exist all around the world because of a system that was started in Nepal called "deukis" which is when children in which girls are sold into prostitution from being sold to temples by families who claimed them as their children. I know this because in the article called Methods and Techniques of Traffickers, "In Nepal there is a system, called 'deukis,' where by rich childless families buy girls from poor rural families and offer them to the temples as though they were thier own;" (para. 3, sentence 1-2). Also the fact that as the girls are being trafficked, they are being transported from place to place to place and the police or the "bordermen" in those places won't say anything unless they aren't bribedwith money. This shows that human trafficking continues to exist around the world because millions and millions of girls are being trafficked around the world, sold into brothels by families that don't even belong to them, and won't be stopped by the police or bordermen unless they are bribed with money.
I belive that it continues to be a huge promblem because the goverment in countries such as India, were human trafficking occurs, are easily to be bride. The brothels owners like Mumtaz in sold, give the police money so that the police would not say nothing about the prostition. With the money giving to them they wouldnt be able to say anything.

the hugging man
i believe that lakshmi feels she is safe with this man. lakshmi says in the book his skin was as soft as the velvet of talis nose.this shows that laksmi likes this american alot becuase did not force her to have sex with him but instead he just gives her a big nice hug ,and lakshmi hugs back. at first lakshmi was scared of the american so she did not talk to him but then he gave her a card and then he said if she wanted to get out of the house she was scared but then she knew she could trust him.
