600,000-800,000 men, women and children trafficked across international borders each year. Approximately 80 per cent are women and girls. Up to 50% are minors - US State Department
It is the fastest growing form of international crime, already generating 7 billion dollars per year in criminal proceeds. There are even reports that some trafficking groups are switching their cargo from drugs to human beings, in a search of high profits at lower risk. - UN
I was honestly shocked when I learned about human trafficking and how it operates on such a grand scale. It's hard to think of a more terrible injustice to someone and to think it goes on in our own country like it does.
I wanted to share this with you guys here and let you know I am doing my own project, mostly for those in the St. Louis area to help raise funds to stop human trafficking. info here
