Human trafficking is a crime that involves exploiting people through force, coercion, or deception for the purposes of forced labor or commercial sex. It is a global issue affecting every country, with over 27 million trafficking victims worldwide, most of which are women. While often hidden, human trafficking generates billions of dollars in illegal profits each year through the trafficking of adults and children for purposes such as forced labor, sex trafficking, and organ removal.

recruiting, transporting, transferring, harboring or receiving a person
through a use of force, coercion or other means, for the purpose of
exploiting them. Every year, thousands of men, women and children
fall into the hands of traffickers, in their own countries and abroad.
Every country in the world is affected by trafficking, whether as a
country of origin, transit or destination for victims. UNODC, as
guardian of the United Nations Convention against Transnational
Organized Crime (UNTOC) and the Protocols thereto, assists States in
their efforts to implement the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and
Punish Trafficking in Persons (Trafficking in Persons Protocol).
