When people think of slavery, it's often associated in a more historical context. Yet slavery is more prevalent today than ever. Consider these sobering statistics from the United Nations’ International Labour Organization:
Human traffickers victimize an estimated 27.6 million people worldwide.
77% of all victims are in forced labor
23% of all victims are in sex trafficking
57% are men and boys
43% are women and girls
Within sex trafficking... 78% are women and girls and 22% are men and boys, 92% are adults and 8% are children.
Within forced labor... 33% are women and girls and 67% men and boys, 73% are adults and 27% are children.
Although there is no reliable estimate of human trafficking within the United States, human trafficking has been reported in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, on Tribal land, and within U.S. territories.
