Research

I chose Human Trafficking for my topic for National History Day. I chose this because it was something I've been a part of for a while. Ive done a bit of service work for trafficking for a while so I decided to choose it for my project. My thesis is Human Trafficking is a serious problem that violates many rights, and a specific woman named Shamere McKenzie, who was once a victim of Human Trafficking, uses her experiences to educate others of the dangers and signs of trafficking.
Human trafficking is the buying and selling of people as objects. I have learned a lot about rights in my research so far and a lot about Shamere Mckenzie who is the woman I'm talking about in my paper. Ive learned a lot about her story and what she does now to help out with Shared Hope International.

For my National History Day Project I have chosen to research Human Trafficking. I have chosen to research this because of passion and past experience with this topic. My thesis for this project is Human Trafficking is a serious problem that violates many rights, and a specific woman named Shamere McKenzie, who was once a victim of Human Trafficking, uses her experiences to educate others of the dangers and signs of trafficking. To support that thesis, I have researched all the different parts of my thesis. I started with rights. I have research rights that are broken and what rights the people have after they are rescued. I have also researched Shamere Mckenzie's background/story and what she is doing now.

  1. Dear Katie,
    This is such a good topic to choose. I am glad you choose to tackle something as influential and up-to-date as human trafficking. Adding personal input will defiently add some spice to your paper.
    Good Job,
