Human Trafficking

Did you know?

There are an estimated 40 million human trafficking victims worldwide.

Human Trafficking generates £150+ Billion annually.

Every 30 seconds a person is trafficked

The average age of entry into prostitution is 12 years

Trafficking is… to be taken against your will, bought, sold and exploited for the sex industry, nail bars, car washes, building sites, domestic servitude and more… 80% of victims are women and 50% are children. Men are trafficked too for work in agriculture/heavy manual labour..

Trafficking is…where victims usually suffer repeated abuse, physical violence, psychological control, fear, threats to themselves and their families. The same person can be sold and resold many times.

There can be a sense of hopelessness that it’s too big an issue for you to make a real difference, however today across the globe, ordinary people are working together hand in hand, to break this cycle of slavery!
