Human Trafficking



So one of the areas that I want to tie into migration, women, and globalization is human trafficking.  Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing epidemics in today's world.  I have been teaching about it for many years but I am always amazed that it has only been recently (the last 3 or 4 years) that a major worldwide effort has been made to combat this crisis.  So we are going to explore this topic in great depths this semester with the hope that not only can we create awareness to the problem but maybe become knowledgeable enough to help recognize problems in the future.  So to start with I would like to find out what you know about human trafficking.  Please take the online quizzes below and report your scores for each one.
