This article is medical issued and presents the treatment and aftercare for human trafficking
victims. The focus of the article is domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) and how it is
prevalent in the US. The article includes several studies of US treatment centers that provide
I can use this journal to dissect the argument that the US does not have enough awareness
programs to help protect and rescue victims of human trafficking. This article proves that there
are programs being implemented in the system, educating people on signs to identify human
trafficking. Furthermore, it shows that steps care for the victims and provide them with therapy
for trauma. I like that the study features different treatment studies so that the reader can see the
variety in treatment and perhaps, even a need for reformation of the treatment.

This source is a personal narrative and a secondary source that has an unbiased view on the
governments involvement. I can use this source to further my argument that the government is
actively involved with Human Trafficking. As the book shows the events that led up to the
Trafficking Protection Act of 2000, this will give me further insight on the individuals that have

This Huffington post article criticizes the US governments involvement with human trafficking,
seeing that the US could do more to help the victims and prevent further trafficking. This article
brings light to the fact that many victims of human trafficking in Iraq and Afghanistan war zones
provided assistance to U.S. troops. This contradicts the U.S. governments outlook on human

author believes that the government is contradictory in its actions and should do more to help
international trafficking and unaffiliate themselves with known traffickers. This article is useful

This source is a government issued report of the Human Trafficking Detection Act of 2015. This
was made to bring more training to the department of homeland security on how to detect and
prevent human trafficking. This will require periodically training to help keep the department
informed. This will work mutually with the Blue Campaign, which was used to train and inform
