According to the eu site, Hungary is seen as a transit country when it comes to sex trafficking. These victims are often taken to countries like Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany and Austria. People are often exported to western European countries through Hungary. Women in the east are often the most vulnerable to human sex trafficking according to the same EU site. Statistics of human trafficking can be seen below from the website: https://www.statista.com/chart/4947/the-eus-hotspots-for-people-trafficking/
According to Unicef, mentions that human trafficking has been added as apart of Sustainable development goals. They go on to talk about the ways in which we might be able to curve human trafficking. These include providing opportunities for victims to escape such situations. It would seem one of the ways crack down on human trafficking would be to provide the resources for the victims means of escape. It also mentions that many nations need to work together in order to stop human trafficking.
Obviously, sex trafficking is quite horrifying and as brought up by the article we read for class “Born Free”, it has a lot of competition with many of the other horrifying catastrophes affecting the world right now. Currently, it doesn’t seem like there is an easy solution for figuring out a way to crack down on human trafficking besides actually cracking down on it. Obviously, there should be resources given to help victims of such a crime escape that type of situation, but there should also be resources dedicated to finding and cracking down on the people who are responsible for human trafficking. Identifying what groups are involved and where victims of human trafficking are often taken from is probably a good way in which to find these people. Although, places like the UK and Netherlands are incredibly high as shown in the graph above, I also wonder whether they could be so high because they’ve made more of an effort of finding sex trafficking victims than other countries have. It’s obviously going to take a lot of effort of other nations finding the sources of human trafficking in order to stop them. Whether this might involve countries individually policing it or making an international task force to deal with it would be a good question to answer. Unicef is right that it’s not going to be up to a single nation to try and fix this problem.

I think that the article regarding AI is a good example of why diversity written by actual diverse people and not a bunch of white guys is needed. As the article points out, as AI becomes more advance it’s more likely to adopt the worldview of a white man than it is for everyone else because white men are the ones who are programming it and are the one determining how it will work according to their worldview. Take films for example. It’s not enough for a film or tv show to include a black character for the sake of diversity when the writer and director are still white. They are writing a character from the view point of a white man. It’s the same with female characters. A man doesn’t know what being a female is like, and so they can only give their interpretation of being female from the outside looking in. Individuals can only write as well as their personal experience will allow them to. Like the article talks about AI is starting to be adapted more and more quickly and as that happens it will be too late because the stuff that all future AI will be based on will be based on the AI that a white man created.
