BedBible.com Reports on 2022 Worldwide Sex Trafficking Statistics
Feb 9, 2022
BedBible.com has funded a report that spent two months doing in-depth research about worldwide sex trafficking. The report gathered data from 172 countries and analyzed 109.216 identified victims. This is by far the largest study and most comprehensive on the topic. The full report can be found here.
Key findings
-
35 million is the number of victims of sex trafficking every single day
Estimates show that, internationally, only about .04% of survivors of trafficking cases are identified, meaning that the majority of cases go undetected.
-
The "industry" has never been larger - It has an estimated $99 billion market value
To put it into perspective, the sex trafficking industry is larger than the global cocaine market and almost as big as the global PC market. Also, if aggregated the yearly revenue of McDonald's, Netflix, Wall Disney, and Best Buy we have the same value.
-
During the pandemic, online recruitment increased 22%
The analysis found significant growth in the proportion of potential victims for whom Facebook (120% increase) and Instagram (95% increase) were the sites for recruitment.
-
There have never been so many child victims
Worldwide, almost 20% of all victims are children. However, in some parts of Africa and the Mekong region, children are the majority (up to 100%).
-
Why people end up in sex trafficking: Recent migration, Mental Health issues, Unstable housing, Homeless Youth, and Drug abuse
Everyone ending up in a trafficking situation has a clear and identifiable vulnerability that a trafficker preyed upon.
Why is this report useful?
Human trafficking is divided into forced labor and sex trafficking. We've chosen to primarily focus on sex trafficking since this stands for 79% of all human trafficking cases in the world. This detailed-oriented approach makes room for insights that maps sex trafficking in an angle never seen before.
