Human trafficking affects every country around the world, regardless of socio-economic status, history, or political structure. Human traffickers have exploited the many benefits of globalization, creating an international market for the trade of human beings, which has grown into the second largest criminal industry in the world. One of the most common images of human trafficking relates to victims who are trafficked across international borders. However, significant trafficking also occurs domestically, within a country's own borders, where victims may be residents or citizens. While the factors that lead to an individual's victimization are wide and diverse, an accurate understanding of the scope and prevalence of human trafficking in any country acknowledges victims of all forms of human trafficking both within and across a country's borders.
