I Will Twirl If You Give Me Freedom From Thailand

One of the biggest factors I saw while travelling through Thailand was that there were a lot of clubs and a lot of prostitution. As I dug deeper into the situation I found that Thailand has a high percentage of human trafficking. I thought it was a shame for such a beautiful country for it to be using people like that just for sex and money. Human trafficking has become a major issue in social problems in the world. I think it is sad that a lot of these people, mostly women and children, are being forced into slavery as a prostitute. I read up on some articles on the issues,as seen below. Most of the women and children who are brought to Thailand for prostitution are from China, Laos, Myanmar and Malaysia and Singapore.

Some of the reasons why this may have started is the large amount of tourists that come into Thailand from these neighbouring countries. This is a way of them to get women and children without having to pay for travel. Human trafficking for some people helps them get a lot of money easily. It is said that it is for economical reasons why it has increased so much in Thailand. I think it is horrible that people cannot find another way to make money and abuse these women and children.



Some ways this could be stopped is that the Thailand government puts prevention of human trafficking, prosecutes and convict offenders. Also they could help tackle forced labor and help rescue the women and children who are bought through human trafficking etc.

Thailand needs to do something about this as this is becoming a serious and dangerous matter.
