Sex trafficking is a huge problem all over the world, mainly in countries like India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. These countries are widely known for their ever-growing, multi-billion dollar human trafficking industry. This is clearly an issue that many people are aware of, but one thing that is not widely known is the fact that sex trafficking is widespread in the United States, and particularly in the Midwestern part of the United States. country. In our project, we discussed sex trafficking in Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and Kansas, and found out exactly how often this terrible situation manifests itself right in the middle of the United States. As part of this theme, I myself have targeted the problem of sex trafficking in Oklahoma. As part of this, I researched what exactly the situation was in Oklahoma, compared traffic in Oklahoma to the books we read and discussed throughout the semester, and related it to two of the topics that we read at the beginning of the semester. In this project, the main goal of our group was to find out exactly what kind of situations were taking place in the Midwestern part of the United States. We did this by finding articles and cases featuring examples of sex trafficking from our assigned state. In doing so, I discovered an article about a sex trafficking ring from Oklahoma that extended to Mexico. In an October 2012 Tribune Business News article, he explained that Oklahoma was one of the top states for sex trafficking nationwide. This article also explains how, in this trafficking ring, a 19-year-old girl was found in a duffel bag behind a grocery store in Bethany, Oklahoma. This girl and the other girls who were... middle of paper ... where it was clear they were trying to display imperialism. Throughout this project, we have discussed cases of sexual slavery in the Midwest. Whether it was in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas or Oklahoma, each case was just as horrific and disgusting as the next. When discussing these situations in these articles, it is quite easy to relate them to the stories that were discussed in both Siddharth Kara's Sex Trafficking or John Bowe's Nobodies, mainly due to the similarities of the situations that arise. took place in these books, whether it was in Florida or across the seas. After learning the definitions of globalization and imperialism, it was also quite easy to relate these articles to these ideas. While it may be more problematic in countries like India, Bangladesh, or Nepal, it is clear that sex trafficking is definitely a problem in the United States..
