TODAY IS UN WORLD DAY AGAINST TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS
Did you know?
The number of victims detected globally fell by 11 per cent in 2020 from the previous year, driven by fewer detections in low- and medium-income countries.
Male victims are the only group that has increased by about 3% from 2019.
Detection of trafficking for forced labour in 2020 was equal to that of trafficking for sexual exploitation, at just under 40 per cent each.
Globally, the number of convictions for trafficking offences fell by 27 per cent in 2020 from the previous year.
