“Awareness of Human Trafficking Worldwide”
The travel industry, whom is a participant in human trafficking at hotels, airplane,
trains, and buses, has been increasing efforts to combat the problem by working with
advocacy groups and federal government (Mohn). In the article, “ The Invisible Man: The
Conscious Neglect of Men and Boys in the War on Human Trafficking”, by Samuel V.
Jones, he states the importance of noticing that at the hands of Human Trafficking women
and men are vulnerable (Jones). Finally yet importantly, we have “Traffickers force more
men into servitude”, by Susan Carroll. Carroll informed his readers that victims of
Human Trafficking all have different stories of the abuse they encounter, and if we want
to stop it, we must continue to inform people worldwide (Carroll). We must stay aware,
connect, and neglect by genders, and justice will be served.

agents, and travelers. In addition, use their software with the confidence that it would
raise more awareness of the hidden problem.
Noted by Mohn, the Sabre confidence expanded. The Departments of Homeland
Security, Transportation, and Amtrak went against human trafficking. The departments
not only went against it, but also started training employees to save Human Trafficking
victims that could not save themselves. The vital fact is we have to put a stop to human
trafficking. When Sabre took the initiative, it influenced the Departments to do the same,
which lead to getting other individuals interacting to stop Human Trafficking. All it took
was networking and becoming aware that they cannot do it alone.
He continues to try to persuade his readers that when you make others aware of
the problem, they then want to be involved with the positive solution outcome. In the
article, Mohn highlights the Tourism Child-Protection Code of Conduct, guidelines for
