After drug dealing, human trafficking is the second largest criminal industry in the world. Know more:
After drug dealing, human trafficking is the second largest criminal industry in the world. The International Labour Organization’s latest report —Global Estimates of Modern Slavery—said 50 million people were living in modern slavery in 2021. Of these victims, 28 million were in forced labor and 22 million were trapped in forced marriage.
Criminal groups are now using social media to recruit victims who are lured by false promises of high-paying jobs. In Asia, victims’ groups have cited Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar as key trafficking destinations. The Department of Migrant Workers early this month said it has rescued and assisted over 90 Filipino workers who are victims of human trafficking in Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. DMW Secretary Susan Ople said assistance has been provided to the victims, which includes psychosocial counseling, financial assistance, and the filing of cases against their recruiters in coordination with the Philippine National Police.
