Introduction
Nobody knows the true numbers, but even conservative estimates suggest that at least 2.5 million children, women, and men are lured or forced across international borders every year – and many more are trafficked within their home countries – and put to work against their will, often under deplorable and unsafe conditions, held captive by physical, psychological, or financial threats.
Human trafficking is the illegal trade of human beings for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation or reproductive slavery,forced labor, or a modern-day form of slavery. Trafficking is a lucrative industry. It has been identified as the fastest growing criminal industry in the world. It is second only to drug trafficking as the most profitable illegal industry in the world. In 2004, the total annual revenue for trafficking in persons were estimated to be between USD$5 billion and $9 billion. Trafficking in human beings takes many forms but can be basically broken down into these two categories.
Forced abduction – To use physical force to move a human being to become either a sex slave, involuntary worker or other bizarre and uses which could include quasi religious rituals when can result in the death of the abducted.
