Sexual Slavery

26.5 // 16 // 115

Today,

*In Spain trafficking is a 26.5 billion dollar industry. In the world, trafficking is a 186 Billion dollar industry.
*71% of people trafficked are women and children.
*In our world, 16 years old is the average age of someone entering into trafficking.The average range is 15-20 years old. The 2nd highest age bracket are 0-2 years, because of the children are born into brothels.
*Trafficking happens virtually in every country.
*Estimated by the United Nations 20-40 Million people each year are trafficked.
* Last year, there were 115 victims of sex trafficking identified.
Trafficking statistics are notoriously under reported everywhere. While, these numbers are shocking, you can be sure it does not account for the full scope of the issue.

More importantly than anything else, each one of the numbers are representative of a person. A person with a family, story, hopes, dreams, and value. Take a moment to pray for the women and children in sexual slavery in our world.
