Trafficking: to trade or deal in a specific commodity or service often of an illegal nature.

1) Trafficking in persons is modern day slavery, involving victims who are forced or coerced into labor or sexual exploitation.
2) It is estimated that 2 children are sold every minute.
3) United Nations Children's Fund now believes that the number of children trafficked each year is around 1.2 million.
4) The U.N. and other experts estimate the total market value of illicit human trafficking at 32 billion dollars.
5) It's estimated that at least 27 million people are currently enslaved in the world. This is more than double the number of Africans enslaved during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
