2019 Data Report. The Trafficking Hotline saw a nearly 20 percent increase last year in the number of victims and survivors who contacted us directly about their own situations.
Many traffickers prey on victims who are looking for the promise of a better life, a job opportunity or a romantic relationship. Transportation/Isolation: Victims are often (but not always) moved around by traffickers, to isolate them from family and/or people they know or areas that are familiar to them.
The average age for IOM registered victims of trafficking is 27, and half of all victims are aged between 19 and 33. There is a slight spike in age at 0 and 1 years of age- this is because of the number of children who are born into trafficking.
The highest rate of human trafficking in the world has Bangladesh. In addition to illegal trafficking ring, there are approximately 800 legally operating recruitment agencies in bangladesh which force people into free labor by overcharging them and making them indebted.
Children and youth at risk of labor trafficking share many of the same risk factors; children who have recently migrated or relocated are at a heightened risk.
