Globally, it is estimated that there are 50 million victims of modern-day slavery, 27.6 million of which include "forced labour" (in U.S. terms, this is s*x and labor trafficking).

While TAT focuses on combating domestic s*x and labor trafficking, it's important to be aware that this is an issue globally!
