Trafficking in persons
Detected victims of trafficking in persons, and the patterns in the UN Office on Drugs and Crime Global Report on Trafficking in Persons: exploitation and coercion.
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime: Global Report on Trafficking in Persons. 2024 report.
What
UNODC’s Global Report on Trafficking in Persons (GLOTIP) 2024 is the eighth edition under the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime Trafficking in Persons Protocol and the 2010 Global Plan of Action. It reports detected victims, forms of exploitation, and patterns. This card points to that victim-detection reporting, not a complete census of trafficking.
Why on this shelf
Trafficking in persons is a distinct ICCS offence family. It complements the OC Index human-trafficking market score with UNODC’s detected-victim statistics. It is not a homicide rate and not a World Drug Report flow map.
How to read it
Figures are detected victims: coverage varies with police capacity, legal definitions, and access. A low count can mean fewer detections, not fewer victims. Forms of exploitation (sexual exploitation, forced labour, and others) are not the same as a homicide rate. Open GLOTIP and the UNODC data portal for the current tables.
Caveats
Detection is not a census. Cross-border flows in the report are detected patterns, not a complete route inventory.
