An estimated 400,000 people are currently living in modern day slavery in the U.S.—which includes labor trafficking and sex trafficking, as well as debt bondage and forced marriage.7
Gender: According to a 2016 DOJ-funded study, of youth (aged 13-24) involved in the sex trade (which includes sexual exploitation and survival sex as well as human trafficking) across six different cities in the U.S., 60% were female, 36% were male; and 4% were transgender.8
Age: In 2017, the Nation-wide FBI-led anti-trafficking Operation Cross Country (OCC) raid reported the average age of sex trafficking victims in October 2017 was 15 years old, but the youngest children who would have been victimized were a two-year-old and a three-month-old.9
Labor/sex: Of the forms of human trafficking reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline in 2017:10
i. 71% were for sex trafficking;
ii. 15% were for labor trafficking (Labor trafficking is almost certainly underreported due to the lack of understanding about the subject and inability to easily recognize trafficking scenarios and victims);
iii. 4% were cases of both sex and labor trafficking; and
iv. 10% were cases where the form of trafficking was not specified.
