More DescriptionThe AuthorBright Mills is a publisher, a media practitioner, and an IT engineer, who has been following the trend of human trafficking, the modern-day slavery of the twenty-first century criminal industry. He is deeply committed to putting an end to modern-day slavery. His aim is to create awareness about the illicit criminal industry that have lured trafficked victims and subjected them to forced labor and sexual exploitation. His publication emphasizes the activities of human trafficking and some measures to be taken in order to prevent the criminal acts and prosecute traffickers.The BookHuman trafficking is the modern-day form of slavery in the twenty-first century happening across the globe. Approximately 600,000 to 800,000 victims annually are trafficked across international borders worldwide, and between 18,000 and 50,000 of those victims are trafficked into the United States. This estimates include women, men, and children. Traffickers take the advantage of poverty, war, political instability, high rates of unemployment, and natural disasters to exploit impoverished and vulnerable individuals seeking a better life, luring them into forced labor and sexual exploitation. Traffickers generate about $32 billion annually from their criminal industry.
