    ‘Why’ Statistics:

    • People trafficking is the fastest growing means by which people are enslaved, the fastest growing international crime, and one of the largest sources of income for organised crime
    • 1.2 million children are trafficked every year (Estimate by UNICEF)
    • At least 12.4 million people are victims of forced labour worldwide. Of these 2.4 million are as a result of human trafficking.(A global alliance against forced labor, International Labour Organisation, 2005)
    • 600,000-800,000 men, women and children are trafficked across international borders each year. Approximately 80 per cent are women and girls. Up to 50% are minors (US Department of State Trafficking in Persons Report 2005
    •  Human trafficking is the second largest source of illegal income worldwide exceeded only by drug trafficking. (Belser 2005)
