Sex trafficking is the illegal trade of people with the purpose of exploiting them for income. It is the fastest growing international crime. There are many forms of human trafficking in which traffickers can exploit their victims, 18% of victims are introduced to labour where they are forced to commit acts of slavery or practices similar to slavery and servitude. 3% of victims are in the ‘other’ category which can involve the removal of organs and the remaining 79% of victims are used for sexual exploitation which is the main reason that humans are trafficked.
