Data and methodology

- Data/information was collected from 172 countries with 109.216 identified victims.

- From the year 2003 2021.

- Estimating the full overview of trafficking is challenging since victims so often go undetected, something the United Nations refers to as the hidden figure of crime.

- To support the findings of this report, external sources have been used as a peer review tool.

- Sex trafficking is defined as the range of activities involved when a trafficker uses force, fraud, or coercion to compel another person to engage in a commercial sex act.

- It has been easier to gather data on certain regions/countries than others (which therefore can result in a minor distortion of the real picture).

The results of the analysis
This section highlights the findings of the analysis.

Sex trafficking is a profitable business (Exclusive insights)

The average annual profit for every woman in sex trafficking is 100.000$. The average for both genders is 21.800$. Further, the report reveals that sexual exploitation can yield a return on investment ranging from 100% to 1,000%. In the Netherlands, investigators were able to calculate the profit generated by two sex traffickers from a number of victims. One trafficker earned $18,148 per month from four victims (for a total of $127,036) while the second trafficker earned $295,786 in the 14 months that three women were sexually exploited.

Worldwide: Identified victims vs. estimated victims

There is a huge difference between the estimated number of victims and the actually identified victims. The identified victims are the cases that go to the police and often in court. But Bedbible.com knows from research that the majority do not end there. Its under 5% that is prosecuted.

That being said the identified victims statistics give a good idea about the development. So as it can be seen the cases are increasing significantly, and so are the earnings. Since 2014 Bedbible.com has seen a 60% increase in identified victims.
