The Reality of Human Trafficking
It is estimated today that 27 millon people are enslaved in the world. This black market business is hard to track and harder to prosecute. It is a 32 billion dollar a year industry with the average price of an individual being less than a new cell phone, roughly $90. 80% are women and 50% are children. An estimated one million children are forced into the sex trade industry. This is the fastest growing illegal trafficking activity in the world.
We understand that this is a complex issue that not only revolves around the sex trade industry but also includes forced labor involving legitimate businesses, global organized crime syndicates and the global economy.
