I want to share some facts with you from their website:

Human trafficking is an organized criminal industry that affects every nation. While the statistics can seem overwhelming, it is important to remember that every number represents the life of a victim. The A21 Campaign has recognized a significant need in the region of Europe, and is committed to combating this injustice through rescuing one life at a time. (http://www.thea21campaign.org/)

•Human trafficking is the second largest global organized crime today, generating approximately 31.6 billion USD each year. Specifically, trafficking for sexual exploitation generates 27.8 billion USD per year.

-There are 1.39 million victims of commercial sexual servitude worldwide

-Over 25 percent of sex trafficked victims are trafficked from Southern and Eastern Europe

-90% of victims trafficked into the European Union member states will end up in the sex industry

-Tragically, only 1-2 percent of victims are rescued, and only 1 in 100,000 Europeans involved in trafficking are convicted

-Greece is known as 'the center of trafficking in Europe. A primary destination and transit country for human trafficking, Greece is the primary gateway for trafficked victims to enter the European Union, host to 90% of all EU illegal immigration
