What is the total number of human trafficking victims worldwide?
Although it is difficult to measure the magnitude of human trafficking, the
International Labour Organization
estimates that more than 20 million men, women, and children are victimized by forced labor and sex trafficking worldwide, including the United States.
Several National Institute of Justice (NIJ)-sponsored studies provide interesting data on human trafficking within the United States:
