    Human trafficking is a major problem in Malaysia. Women and children are most commonly victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation or forced labor. While the government has taken steps to address trafficking, such as identifying victims and prosecuting cases, their efforts have been inadequate. Victim identification and support has decreased in recent years. Corruption also remains an issue and impedes anti-trafficking efforts. To truly combat trafficking, Malaysia must improve victim protection, increase law enforcement action, and address corruption within trafficking-related processes.

    1.1 INTRODUCTION

    1.1.1 Attention grabber

    Remember yourself as a child for a moment, you are twelve year old girl, stolen from her
    family. Forced into prostitution for the past two years. You were locked up, tied and not given
    a food or drinks for days. Time and time again you have tried to escaped, but your cries for
    help have never been heard. And the strange men that force you to perform these sexual acts
    only beat you into submission when you attempt to free yourself from this life. To be continue..

    1.1.2 Establishing credibility

    1.2 BODY

    1.2.1 Point 1 : How big of a problem is human trafficking in Malaysia?

    A. Human trafficking is a global phenomenon and has been identified as the third world largest
    profitable organized crime after drugs and weapon trafficking. In the current years, women are
    mostly vulnerable to become the commodities of global trade especially in sex exploitation. In
    fact, Malaysia has been characterized as a country of origin, a profitable destination and also a
    transit country for traffickers to transport their victims due to its strategic location and wide
    economic opportunities. Home Affairs (2012) has also reported that the case of sexual
    exploitation is on top of the list of human trafficking cases in Malaysia with 57.9 per cent
    followed by forced labor with 26 per cent. In this case, the women are mostly being traded to
    be exploited especially for the purpose of commercial sex or forced labor. Thus, besides
    trafficking involving the male victims, trafficking among female victims also received widely
    attention in the country. This phenomenon is actually a form of threat to Malaysia’s national
    security and also indirectly affecting the socio-economic condition of the country.

    B. According to Mapo’s statistics, a total of 543 human trafficking victims were placed at
    shelters in the first half of 2019, compared to 1, 474 victims in 2018 and 2, 945 in 2017. From
    the statistic, it is proved that the government did not demonstrate overall increasing efforts
    compared to the previous year. The government identified far fewer victims than in previous
    years and authorities investigated and prosecuted fewer cases. The government’s victim
    protection efforts remained largely inadequate and some rehabilitation services such as medical
    care, telephone calls, freedom of movement, and the issuance of work permits were
    inconsistently implemented, if at all. The government stopped funding NGOs to provide
    shelter. Corruption related to processes for foreign nationals to work in Malaysia remained
    pervasive and the government did not report initiating new prosecutions or convicting any
    complicit officials during the reporting period. Therefore Malaysia remained on Tier 2 Watch
    List for the second year. Do you know what is Tier 2 watch list? Tier 2 Watch List is those
    countries that do not fully meet the Trafficking Victims Protection Act’s (TVPA) minimum
    standards, with three additional criterias, including the failure to provide evidence of increasing
    efforts, or where the number of victims is significant or increased. Malaysia was classified as
    Tier 2 Watch List nine times.
    (Transition: Now that I have provided statistics concerning human trafficking, I will now
    explain why human trafficking mainly revolves around women and children.)

    1.2.2 Point 2 : why woman and children are the most common victims of human trafficking?

    The demand for young girls and women has caused the increased of women trafficking cases
    in Malaysia as to fulfill the clients’ need. According to Council of AntiTrafficking in Persons
    and Anti-Smuggling of migrants (MAPO), there are many prostitution and entertainment
    centers, and also massage parlor which caused a high demand and influx of young women into
    the country. In addition, this is also suported by Kara (2009), that trafficked women are far
    more profitable as a human female can be used by the customer again and again. Besides,
    women trafficking involved cross border business which is also a global business which make
    it very lucrative in the eyes of the traffickers. Most of the victims are trapped into trafficking
    because of the promise of better employment at targeted destinations. Traffickers usually take
    advantage over the women as they are weak, vulnerable and in an insecure condition. Thus,
    they are easier to become the prey of sexual oppression. This is also supported by Wan Nur
    Ibtisam (2014), where women then also trafficked for the purpose to conceive a baby and then
    the baby will also being used to be sell to get profit. Thus, it is a chain business in nature which
    is very profitable to the traffickers.

    (Transition: Now that I have explained why human trafficking involves mainly women and
    children, I will now discuss how Malaysia has addressed their problem of human trafficking
    and the flaws that are present with these approaches to human trafficking.)
