About World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, or World Day Against Human Trafficking.
Safety & Security
Ends: Jul 30, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
In 2013 the United Nations designated July 30 as World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, or World Day Against Human Trafficking, to raise awareness of the situation and highlight the stories of victims.
The research organization Polaris has compiled heat maps and statistics and current statistics on human trafficking in the United States here: https://polarisproject.org/human-trafficking/facts.
As reported by the International Labour Organization and other global authorities:
The International Labour Organization estimates that there are 40.3 million victims of human trafficking globally.
81% are trapped in forced labor.
25% are children.
75% are women and girls.
The International Labor Organization estimates that forced labor and human trafficking is a $150 billion industry worldwide.
The U.S. Department of Labor has identified 139 goods from 75 countries made by forced and child labor.
In 2016, an estimated 1 out of 6 endangered runaways reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children were likely child sex trafficking victims.
Of those, 86% were in the care of social services or foster care when they ran.
There is no official estimate of the total number of human trafficking victims in the U.S. Polaris estimates that the total number of victims nationally reaches into the hundreds of thousands when estimates of both adults and minors and sex trafficking and labor trafficking are aggregated.
