Annotated Bibliographies

1. Love146. 2008. Love146. 17 October 2008.

This website is dedicated to helping those who have been trafficked and those who have been forced into sex. They are trying to set up sanctuaries or safe houses for women and child who have been forced into prostitution are forced into labor.

Love146 is a very useful source because they are a very well know organization.

This source is great for someone who wants to help people who have been trafficked. It was also useful because it is very relevant to my topic of Human trafficking. Love146 is a great site to visit if your want to find out more about forced prostitution.


2.Eaton-Robb, Pat. "Craigslist to crack down on prostitution ads." The Washington Post 7 Nov. 2008.

This source was an article in the Washington Post that talked about how on Craigslist (an Internet site used for personal and business advertising) was brought to court because there were many ads for "erotic services" that turned out to be illegal. eventually Craigslist agreed to ask for legitimate credit cards and working phone numbers.

This source is very reliable because it was in the Washington Post. This is a different kind of source from the other ones in my blog because it takes place today and it also shows us that there are many different ways to advertise prostitution.

The article really shows me that human trafficking is everywhere even in plan site. But it also shows that there are people how are really trying to fix or help stop human trafficking.


3.http://web.mac.com/thefreedomproject/The_Freedom_Project/Stats.html

This site was used for its Statistics. It has really great graphs that show many different things. For example it shows who gets trafficked the most and from where and it also shows what the victims are trafficked for. This site also has a graph on what nationality the traffickers are.

The graphs offer great data for those who don't know a whole lot about who gets trafficked or why. This was a great source because it gives you a visual look at the statistics instead of just reading about them. You can actually see the difference in who gets trafficked and for what.

This was a very helpful source because it really put into prospective for me how many people get trafficked. It really didn't change how I think about my topic, it more really helped prove that Human trafficking is a major problem.


4.iAbolish. American Anti-Slavery Group. 19 Sept. 2008 http://www.iabolish.org/.


iAbolish is all about stopping human trafficking and modern day slavery. They want people to be aware of human trafficking. On the site they have news and events. They also have definitions of what human trafficking and slavery are.

This is a great site to visit if you don't really know what human trafficking and slavery are. It is also great if you what to help or if you want to donate money or you services.

This was a good source for me because it helped me really understand what human trafficking was and how badly it effects people. I was also good because it is really focused on stopping it and getting people aware.


5.Humantrafficking.org. 2001-2006. Academy for Education Development. 17 October 2008

This site is a little different from the others because it tells you the human trafficking situation in different countries in East Asia and the Pacific. Under each country there are different things. They talk about the government of each country and what that government is doing about human trafficking. It also talks about how each country protects the victims and the punishment to the traffickers.

The goal of this source it to show individually how each country handles human trafficking. This was a useful source because it can you information on a specific country.

This site was really good to my topic because I could compare the different countries and see how if how the way the handle human trafficking was different or the same. And by comparing the countries one can see who needs more help in helping victims of human trafficking.


6.Unknown. "Human Trafficking." Issues and Controversies (2004): 297-304.

This article talks about how the United States is helping in stopping human trafficking. It also has a section of little stories of victims and how they got fooled and then were trafficked. It also has a section on the history of Anti trafficking efforts.

This was useful source because it was from 2004 and it helped me compare more recent source to it to see if efforts to stop human trafficking have grown or if the degenerated.

Because it was my first source of this blog it helped me grasp the idea of human trafficking. It also helped me in deciding on how my topic should go.
