ANSWERS
1. Human trafficking is the taking of people by deception or violence from their homes for?
E. All of the above & other type of exploitation
People trafficking involves an act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harbouring or receiving a person through a use of force, coercion or other means, for the purpose of exploiting them. Sexual exploitation is by far the most commonly identified form of human trafficking, followed by forced labour. For children, exploitation may include also, illicit international adoption, trafficking for early marriage, recruitment as child soldiers, for begging, or for sports.
2. How much money is generated from human trafficking each year?
D. € 31 billion (31,000,000,000)
Human Trafficking is one of the largest source of income for organised crime, worth more than seven hundred euros per second, or over twenty billion euros a year. That’s more than Microsoft makes, and twice the turnover of Coca Cola.
3. How many people are being trafficked across EU borders every year?
C. 100 000 only across EU borders
Human Trafficking is the fastest growing form of organised crime, with at least one person being trafficked across international borders every minute. That’s the equivalent of five jumbo jets full every day.
4. How many victims of human trafficking are under 16?
C. 50%
50% of victims are children and 80% are female and, thus making the majority of victims teenage girls. They are trafficked for forced labour and sexual exploitation, mainly by organised gangs for profit.
5. We don't have human trafficking in Ireland.
B. FALSE
Trafficking affects every country in the world, whether it is a source country where victims are trafficked from, a transit country where victims are trafficked through, or a destination country where people are trafficked to.
People trafficking is not then and there, but right here, right now.*Sources: UN Reports and StoptheTraffick Camapaign website (www.stopthetraffik.org)
