      abstract = {"The Global Report on Trafficking in Persons provides new  information on a crime that shames us all. Based on data  gathered from 155 countries, it offers the first global  assessment of the scope of human trafficking and what is  being done to fight it. It includes: an overview of  trafficking patterns; legal steps taken in response; and  country-specific information on reported cases of  trafficking in persons, victims, and prosecutions. The most  common form of human trafficking (79%) is sexual  exploitation. The victims of sexual exploitation are  predominantly women and girls. Surprisingly, in 30% of the  countries which provided information on the gender of  traffickers, women make up the largest proportion of  traffickers. In some parts of the world, women trafficking  women is the norm. The second most common form of human  trafficking is forced labour (18%), although this may be a  misrepresentation because forced labour is less frequently  detected and reported than trafficking for sexual  exploitation. Worldwide, almost 20% of all trafficking  victims are children. However, in some parts of Africa and  the Mekong region, children are the majority (up to 100% in  parts of West Africa). Although trafficking seems to imply  people moving across continents, most exploitation takes  place close to home. Data show intra-regional and domestic  trafficking are the major forms of trafficking in  persons."},
