Women trafficking
However, in 30 percent of the countries that have provided information on the gender of human traffickers, women make up the majority. In some parts of the world, trafficking in women is the norm. The second most common form of this trade is forced labor (18%)
Worldwide, almost 20% of all victims of trafficking are children. In some parts of Africa and the Mekong region, children are the majority (up to 100% in parts of West Africa), according to reports from the United Nations. Data shows that intra-regional and domestic trafficking are the primary forms of trafficking.
