CRIM 1400 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Walk Free Foundation, Forced Marriage, Systematic Review
Estimates
● Human trafficking statistics
● Most recent global estimate by ILO, IOM, and Walk Free Foundation
○ 40 million people victims of modern slavery
■ 25 million in forced labor
■ 15 million in forced marriage
○ 5.4 victims per 1000 people
■ 6 per 1000 adults
■ 4.4 per 1000 children
○ 71% are women
○ 50% through debt bondage
○ 25% children
● Combined Methodology
○ 54 surveys interviewed more than 71000 across 48 countries
○ Data from IOM databases of assisted victims of trafficking were used
○ Additional calidated sources and systematic review of comments from the ILO
supervisory bodies with regard to ILO conventions on forced labor
● Total Scale
○ Pool of only registered human trafficking victims
■ Some false positives
■ Also others who are unidentified
● Dark figure
■ False negatives
● The Formula
○ Seemingly simple
○ Sum up known, subtract false positives, add dark figure
● Key Difficulties
○ Hard to read populations
○ Reliable sampling frame doesn’t exist
○ Independent factors have no link to actual scale of human trafficking
○ Capacity problems with police departments
○ Maybe pool of registered victims has to be bigger in comparison to dark figure
● The Problem
○ Statistics authorities have collected info on the detected part of human trafficking
○ Multiple source data
○ National multi-agency referrals (Europe) & multi-disciplinary teams (US)
