How many people really are aware of what trafficking is all about? As an over $7 Billion global industry, it's not all sex, drugs, and videotapes.
Who are the victims?
Anyone and everyone -- despite gender, race, or age -- are candidates for the human trafficking industry.
Where and when are humans trafficked?
Humans are trafficked from everywhere to everywhere. Most victims are from Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and Central America.
Humans are trafficked on the streets, through global chains, and more commonly online through sites such as eBay and Craigslist.
About 1.2 million of only children are trafficked annually. That does not include victims above 18 years-old.
How are humans trafficked?
There are several different industries that involve trafficking. There are 4 main general trafficking pools:
1)Sex industry (prostitution, stripping)
2)Domestic labor (housework, servants)
3)Sweatshop labor
4)Agricultural labor (farmhands, field workers)
The goal of this Wikizine is to inform an audience of general readers and activist leaders about human trafficking, and enrage them to the point of spreading the word about this ever-increasing tragedy of supply and demand.
