Tracking Human Trafficking

Browse by Regions

Africa

Africa accounts for an estimated 31% of globally identified cross-border trafficking victims. Ongoing challenges include child trafficking and gaps in victim protection mechanisms.

Asia-Pacific

With an estimated 29.6 million individuals affected by forced labor or forced marriage, Asia-Pacific remains the region with the highest absolute number of victims globally.

Europe

In Europe, trafficking for sexual exploitation is reported more frequently than for forced labor. Women and girls constitute the majority of identified victims in this region.

North America

Both labor and sexual exploitation are documented across North America. Data limitations continue to challenge efforts to fully assess the scale and scope of trafficking in the region.

South America

Based on past estimates, around 1.8 million individuals in Latin America have experienced trafficking, with sexual exploitation reported most frequently. Children remain especially vulnerable.

Middle East

At least 230,000 people are estimated to be in situations of forced labor in the region. Migrant workers under the Kafala system, particularly domestic workers, face elevated risks.
