Deep dives
The Scope of Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is a $150 billion industry enslaving around 40 million people globally. Poverty and corruption play a significant role in perpetuating this issue, with demand being a major driving force. Legalizing prostitution has shown mixed results, with some countries experiencing an increase in illicit activities. Sweden's approach of criminalizing the buying and selling of all sex has been effective in reducing sex trafficking. Educating young girls about the dangers of trafficking and addressing poverty are essential steps in combating this problem.
