There are an
estimated 1.2 million children being trafficked each year. (UNICEF)
Worldwide, two-thirds of the identified victims were women
and 13% were girls. However, this data could under-represent labor victims and
male victims due to the priorities of local law enforcement, which often are
focused on preventing underage and sexual trafficking. (Global Report On
Trafficking In Persons, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime).
