Globally, 426 million children live in conflict zones today. That’s nearly one-fifth of the world’s
children. Living amidst conflict increases children’s exposure to grave human rights violations,
which include child trafficking and gender-based violence. 66% of child trafficking victims are
girls. (Save the Children, 2020)
99% of victims trafficked for sexual exploitation are women and girls. (IBLA, 2019)
Traffickers use threats, lies, violence, debt bondage, and coercion to force victims to engage
in commercial sex acts against their will. Young girls who live on the streets, or whose families
are extremely poor are particularly vulnerable to this kind of trafficking.
