The socioeconomic implications of human trafficking in Ghana
Yorke, Isaac Elliot
Background: Globalization has prompted the decrease and fading of boundaries among nations, thus facilitating the movement of merchandise, administrations, assets, and work. This has escalated transnational violations, for example, human trafficking. Human trafficking has predominantly been based on forced labour, sex work, organ harvesting, and other heinous acts. Prior to international drug smuggling, it has been one of the most lucrative transnational crimes. The continent of Africa is home to a significant fraction of the world’s youth population whose economies are unable to absorb the majority into an active workforce. Thus, this may have an impact on the prevalence of people trafficking in African civilizations. Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, Nigeria, Gabon, Ghana, Benin, Guinea-Bissau, and Togo are the main human trafficking hotspots, with women and young people being the most susceptible. Objective: The study's objective is to examine the socioeconomic implications of human trafficking in Ghana, with a focus on the Ashanti region's Asokore Mampong district. Method: Using a qualitative cross-sectional approach, the study was carried out in the Ashanti region of Ghana's Asokore Mampong municipal district. The study relied on primary data sources from 42 police and immigration services and the vision organizations in the Asokore Mampong municipality. Interviews were also collected from four families with relatives who have been previous victims of human trafficking. The purposive sampling technique was employed to draft specific respondents who were then interviewed. The snowballing method was used to select families with human trafficking victims. A qualitative procedure was utilized to break down the information using Atlas. ti software. A descriptive method of data analysis was employed in the information presented after the data analysis. Results: The study found that some of the socioeconomic effects of human trafficking in the municipality included loss of income, feeling of embarrassment, property, missing or deceased relatives, and debt. According to the survey, child trafficking and domestic slavery of women in the Gulf States account for 40% and 60%, respectively, of the incidents of human trafficking in the Asokore Mampong municipal region. The primary challenges in the battle against human trafficking among the institutions include the absence or limited logistics for operations, inadequate funds, and insufficient staffing among the police and immigration services. Conclusion: The study has shown that human trafficking is prevalent in the Asokore Mampong municipality. However, the security institutions in the municipality are less equipped to tackle cases of trafficking Keywords: child labour, crime, Gulf state, Human trafficking, migration, socioeconomic, victim,

The child trafficking issues
MAŘÍKOVÁ, Miroslava
Child trafficking is one of the forms of commercial sexual abuse of children which affects children of all ages. As a major issue, I see child labor, sexual abuse, child prostitution and pornography. The children's trafficking is the most widespread in Africa, but it can also be found in the Czech Republic. These issues are very well hidden and often involving customs officers, doctors or truck drivers. Child trafficking is one of the most profitable types of international crimes. Child trafficking is also done by parents themselves, who, in desperation, circumvent the adoption process and are looking for a way to get a child. The bachelor thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part deals with the basic global characteristics of child trafficking and its various causes and reasons of these trafficking. I also describe the various serious issues which are associated child trafficking You can find here also a few organizations which deal with and fight against child trafficking. The theoretical part ends with surrogate motherhood, which is becoming more widespread. The second part of my thesis is a practical part. I have developed this part in qualitative research. It includes a semi-structured interview with five children. Communication partners were used from the sports section. After a theoretical description of the selected strategy, methodology and technique, the sampling description and the research itself are followed. The main objective is to map children's perceptions of Internet risks. The research question focuses on the perception of children and the risks associated with social networks. The work should lead to the provision of understandable information on child trafficking and especially its consequences. The bachelor thesis could help the society to better orient itself in the global issue of child trafficking. The work can also be used as prevention in framework commercial sexual abuse of children for parents.

The aim is to determine the method of comparative analysis here the emphasis on improving children's education can be a tool to eradicate both child labour and poverty. The thesis also deals with the idea that child labour is a consequence or cause of poverty.
