Introduction
The Global Slavery Index estimates 45.8 million people enslaved in the world today. In brothels and factories, hidden in the shadows and darkness. Many driven there by poverty. Currently, there are 1.4 billion people living in extreme destitution and about 2 million children are exploited every year in the global commercial sex trade.
Women and girls make up 98% of victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation. It includes pornography, prostitution and sex trafficking of women and children. Each year, an estimated 800,000 women and children are trafficked across international borders. The girls were often driven into the sex trade or sold to human trafficking syndicates due to extreme poverty. Of that, nearly two-thirds are from impoverished Asian nations. Research shows that the average age of a trafficked victim is only 12 years old. Remember what our lives were like when we were 12?
Imagine the life this child has to lead till someone steps in to do something?
