Child - Sex - Trafficking
These three words should never be used in the same sentence, let alone be a reality. But for millions
of the worlds most vulnerable citizens, these words define their childhood descent into sexual slavery."




Statistics:


-United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) now believes that the number of children trafficked annually is around 1.2 million.


-It is estimated that two children per minute are trafficked for sexual exploitation.

-In 2004, between 14,500 and 17,500 persons were trafficked into the United States (U.S. State Department estimate).

-Human trafficking generates between 10 and 12 billion dollars a year for organized crime (UNICEF estimate).

-The illicit profits from human trafficking is second only to the trafficking of drugs. (Europol estimate)."




Common methods of trafficking:

- physical force
- coercion (debt relief for family, job, marriage, etc.)
- physical and emotional abuse
- threats against self and family
- passport theft
