Influences of global human trafficking issues on Nigeria: a gender perspective.
This story talks about how poverty is one of the biggest reasons for human trafficking. They need money so people take advantage of that by telling them they would work for someone else, but in fact they are just going to pimp them out. It says that millions of women and young girls are the most common victims. They are transported to another location and are then sold. The most common place they are transported after being sold is western Europe, the Middle East, Japan, North America and Australia. It says that the reasons why they target women and young girls are because of the lack of knowing of their rights. I thought it was going to be long and boring but in fact it was very interesting and that's why I chose this story to compare to the other.

Similarities:
*Both talked about human trafficking
*Both talked about women in their stories
Differences:
*One was talking about that the incident occured in Austin,Tx.
*The other talked about the incident occuring in Nigeria
*One talked about how they were forced into doing labor w/very little food,and a woman being raped repeatedly.
*The other talked about how they were taking advantage of the situation of being poor and in need of a job. Also talked about how they took advantange because they didn't know their legal rights.
