Global Estimates

Global Estimates refer to quantitative assessments of the prevalence and impact of human trafficking around the world. These estimates may be produced by international organizations, such as the United Nations, or by non-governmental organizations and research institutions. Global estimates can provide valuable insights into the scope and scale of trafficking, as well as the factors that contribute to its occurrence. This information can be used to inform policy and program development, as well as to guide resource allocation for anti-trafficking efforts.
