Steemiter's!
Whilst I like including all of my sources, this subject proved particularly difficult to find any concrete statistics, so I have put together what I have found from various sources (all listed at the bottom of the article).
SOME STATISTICS AND FACTS
At least 20.9 million adult and children (numbers are reported to go as high as 70 million worldwide) are bought and sold every year, worldwide, into forced labour, Child soldiers, Organ harvesting, bonded labour and commercial sexual servitude.
Human trafficking is the third largest international crime industry (behind illegal drugs and arms trafficking). It reportedly generates a profit of $32 billion every year. Of that number, $15.5 billion is made in industrialized countries.
Around 2 million CHILDREN are RECOGNISED to be victims by the global sex trade --->How Many aren't 'recognized'?
6+/10 trafficking survivors were trafficked for SEXUAL EXPLOITATION
Women and girls make up to 98% of these victims (Although the rate of men being trafficked has risen substantially)
In 2016, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children estimated that 1 in 6 endangered runaways reported to them were likely sex trafficking victims.
The term "Prostitution" is often lumped with sex slave--->when, really, that woman is forced to be in that position by any number of coercive and/or abusive means.
86% of these likely sex trafficking victims were in the care of SOCIAL SERVICES when they went missing
Around 90% of prostituted women have been physical and/or sexually abused as children
74%, the abuse was by a family member
75% have addiction issues
In surveys, 89-96% women said they didn't want to be a part of the prostitution system but cannot, due to lack of healthcare, money, education and other basic resources. (Showing there is no difference between prostitution and slavery)
The average age of children to enter 'prostitution' is between 12 and 14 years old. (Let's note here-Children CANNOT CONSENT AT THIS AGE BY LAW) And Many victims are runaway girls who have been sexually abused
158 countries have laws against human trafficking (By 2016)--->Yet The convictions of offenders is low to non-existent still
The ratio between victims and perpetrators is 5 victims to 1 convicted offender

REALITY OF SEX TRAFFICKING
The reality of this is-The Entire industry is driven by Profits. If nobody PAID for sex-
And throughout my research I continually get led back to this guy, Alfred Kinsey. (Doco Here)
He is responsible for the 'sexual revolution in the 60's and was directly sponsored by.....YOU GUESSED IT
The other thing I come up against quite frequently is the pornography.
Advocacy groups have been warning of the detrimental effects of pornography since its major push started, however, with the help of the Tele-vision, the general populace have been programmed to be more tolerant of obscenity.
Did you know that when Elvis was alive, he wasn't shown from the waist down on TV because it was 'too rude'?
Slowly but surely, our morals have been eroded by the trash put in our heads. And look at what it has brought us too...
The basic lines of nature are being blurred with the promotion of transgenderism and gender appropriation.
Did you know that the LBGT community is currently transforming into the LBGTP or LBGTQA?
Pretty much the same thing huh? They could be lumped into the same category especially if they get the message that people won't stand to have their children abused and thus-Have to choose a different path with least resistance.
ELEMENTS OF SEX TRAFFICKING
Act: Recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons;
Means: Threat or use of force, coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, abuse of power
or vulnerability, or giving payments or benefits to a person in control of the victim;
Purpose: Prostitution of others, sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, or slavery.
(From the 2000 UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, ratified by 154 countries.)
An estimated 80% of all trafficked persons are used and abused as sexual slaves.
This human rights violation is driven by demand for sexual services and the pro t that is generated. The commodification of human beings as sexual objects, poverty, gender inequality and subordinate positions of women and girls provide fertile ground for human trafficking.

UN Women Executive Director 2010-2013
LAWS AND REGULATIONS
The Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) defines* “severe forms of trafficking in persons”* as: sex trafficking in which a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age."
Covers most/all forms: Countries where the specific offence of trafficking in persons is in force, criminalising at a minimum sexual exploitation and forced labour, with no restrictions concerning the profile of the victim
Partial: Countries where the specific offence of trafficking in persons is in force but legislation does not criminalise all or most forms listed in Article 3 of the UN trafficking protocol or does not define trafficking in persons.
No Specific offence: Countries where forms of trafficking in persons are criminalised through other offences due to the absence of a specific trafficking in persons offence.
'ELITE' PEDOCRIMINAL RINGS
Below is an extensive list of 'famous' people and/or politicians with sex offences and many well known and lesser known cases related to the sexual abuse of children, specifically.
PedoGate/PizzaGate-
@titusfrost has done an amazing 3 part documentary with over 7 hours of questions left unanswered, currently, if you haven't watched it-Please make the time. This is vital information for every single being on the Earth at this present time. These are the strings pulling apart the web of lies currently. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
@thehoneybee has an amazing channel on both SteemIt and Youtube. She is an Amazing investigator and has exposed-and continues exposing the Powers that shouldn't be, beautifully. And has a special interest in helping children and identifying offenders.
End Times News Report is also a great reported and exposer of these criminals.
@sgtreport is constantly interviewing amazing people all over the world helping our children.
Ole Dammegård has an awesome website and does great work too.
There are definitely names I have missed....Because they are many. And they all deserve a place in the blockchain. These investigators happen to be the most reliable and honest I have found so far and have a great base of information.

And the list could go on and on.....
Every single person (and this list is NOT complete) represents multiple child offences. Each one has damaged another being to the point of-literally-no return. Sexual abuse victims (if not killed) will never be who they were originally going to be without the abuse. They carry that pain and scarring for life. And experience it in every facet of they're lives.
