The document discusses human trafficking in Eastern Europe. It notes that hundreds of thousands of people are trafficked each year, many into forced labor or sex work. Political and social factors like corruption, poverty, and lack of education enable trafficking. Stricter laws are proposed as the best solution to curb trafficking and protect victims, though enacting such laws could prove difficult in Eastern European countries.

11. Solution 1: Education Positives Educated women would be able to make money and sustain themselves If important issues such as human trafficking are taught, people would know how to better protect themselves Negatives This could be very expensive The government may not support this idea because it could hurt their part of the income

12. Stricter Laws: Best Solution Positives Stricter laws could make convicting human traffickers much easier A stronger court system and laws would severely cut down on human trafficking This would flush out lots of the corrupt gov’t officials Negatives Could be very difficult to get laws passed in Eastern European countries
