Brushes of Freedom

Global Scale

Human trafficking is a global problem affecting every region of the world. The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that over 25 million people are victims of forced labor and sexual exploitation, with women and children being disproportionately affected.

Forms of Trafficking

Human trafficking takes many forms, including forced labor, sex trafficking, child soldiering, and organ trafficking. Victims are often exploited through coercion, fraud, or deception and are forced to work under conditions that violate their basic human rights.
