The United Nations is stating that 1.2 million children are victims of trafficking each year.

From the Associated Press:

Some 2.5 million people are involved in forced labor as a result of trafficking, and 161 countries — on every continent and in every type of economy — are affected by the crime, the U.N. said.

Most victims are between the ages of 18 and 24, and an estimated 1.2 million children are trafficked each year, U.N. figures show.

Human Trafficking is a $32 billion market.
