Human trafficking is a $32 billion industry that affects over 27 million victims worldwide each year. Victims are typically recruited through false promises, transported across borders while having their passports taken, and sold into situations of abuse and rights violations. The recruitment, transportation, and arrival of victims establishes a chain that maintains control over vulnerable people. Poverty, discrimination, and social exclusion are among the root causes that make people susceptible to trafficking. The UN works to prevent trafficking through initiatives and protocols that protect victims and promote international cooperation.

Corruption is one of the primary facilitators of refugee smuggling. In order to fight this crime, and help refugees safely realise their rights, the international community must understand the intricate connections between corruption and refugee smuggling.

Global Slavery Index 2013 | Walk Free Foundation IMPOWR
The inaugural edition of the Global Slavery Index 2013 provides a ranking of 162 countries around the world, based on a combined measure of three factors: estimated prevalence of modern slavery by population, a measure of child marriage, and a measure of human trafficking in and out of a country. The Index provides a quantitative ranking of 162 countries around the world according to the estimated prevalence of slavery, that is, the estimated percentage of enslaved people in the national population at a point in time. The Index also provides an estimate of the size of the modern slavery problem, country by country.
The Global Slavery Index is the product of the Walk Free Foundation, in consultation with experts from international organizations, think tanks and academic institutions. The Index is endorsed by political leaders such as Hillary Clinton, Tony Abbott, Gordon Brown, Gareth Evans and Julia Gillard; philanthropists such as Bill Gates and Mo Ibrahim; and expert humanitarians such as Muhammad Yunus, Luis C’deBaca and Louise Arbour.
From forced labour on cannabis farms in the UK to the child workers in the cocoa industry of Côte d’Ivoire, an estimated 29.8 million people are enslaved today. The Global Slavery Index is your guide to modern slavery, country by country.

2. The Facts in Numbers 27 million modern-day slaves across the world. 800,000 trafficked across international borders. 80% of victims are women and children. 32 billion yearly profits generated by the human trafficking industry. There are 161 countries affected by trafficking that are classified as the following 127 countries of origin; 98 transit countries; 137 destination countries
3. The Human Trafficking Chain Recruitment This is the stage where the trafficking victims are believed to be at the most vulnerable state and therefore more susceptible to false promises. At this point recruiters might even receive money from the victims with the promise of work abroad.
4. The Human Trafficking Chain Transportation In order to maintain their vulnerable status, victims are typically transported to a foreign country accompanied by the initial recruiter and therefore establishing a sense of trust between the victims and the recruiter.
5. The Human Trafficking Chain Arrival The recruiter now passes on his victims to the next member of the chain. “The middle man” who receives the victims and then takes them to where they are “wanted”. At this point, the passports are moved from the recruiter to the “middleman” to ensure continued control and elimination of the possibility of escape.
6. The Human Trafficking Chain Final Destination The “middleman” now sells the victims. This will end up being where the victims will reside. Here they will suffer from the worst forms of abuse and their most fundamental rights violated.
11. Human Trafficking vs Forced Labor The act of trafficking in itself has proven to be a violation of human rights The three factors (force, fraud and coercion) are present in both. They are the core of modern day slavery Human Trafficking is the modern day slave trade. It requires transport from one place to another – even though it might occur internally within one country- but transport has to occur After being trafficked an individual might end up as a forced laborer however that is sometimes not the case. The act of trafficking in itself has proven to be a violation of human rights.
12. The United Nations UN.GIFT The United Nations Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking (UN.GIFT) was conceived to promote the global fight on human trafficking, on the basis of international agreements reached at the UN The Global Report on Trafficking in Persons – prepared by the United Nations office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC)
13. The United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons especially Women and Children Article 2 The purposes of this Protocol are: To prevent and combat trafficking in persons, paying particular attention to women and children; To protect and assist the victims of such trafficking, with full respect for their human rights; and To promote cooperation among States Parties in order to meet those objectives.
