How many people are trafficked each year?
Accurate numbers are hard to determine due to the clandestine nature of human trafficking, however, the United Nations estimates that up to one million people are trafficked throughout the world each year. Conservative estimates indicate that 600 to 800 people are trafficked into Canada each year for the sex trade and another 1,500 to 2,200 more for transfer into the sex trade in the United States.
