The Economic and Social Context of Human Trafficking

By: Maria Riley, OP

Human Trafficking, the current form of modern slavery, has escalated in
the recent decade. According to UN statistics, over 2.4 million persons
are trafficked a year in an illegal industry that reaps from $7 to
$10million dollars annually, third only to the illegal trade in drugs
and in arms. The illegal trade in human beings is both facilitated and
driven by the effects of globalization economic integration and the
continuing dominance of the system of patriarchy throughout the world.
This power point examines the push/pull factors of trafficking and
migration which brings many people into both forced economic labor and
forced sexual labor.
