Do I really need to be concerned about human trafficking in my town?

24900000

24.9 million people are trafficked worldwide.
600,000-800,000 men, women and children annually trafficked across international lines.

150000000000

Human trafficking is worth $150 billion a year.

2/3 of total human trafficking profits come from sexual exploitation, while the rest come from trafficked people “under threat or coercion” working in domestic service, manufacturing, construction, mining, farming, fishing boats, and other forced labor.

15.4 million people were also forced in marriage.

Which is a double-edged sword because a marriage can disguise further coerced labor.
