At least 700,000 people are trafficked worldwide each year and trafficking is the fastest growing means by which people are enslaved today. Young girls are trafficked to work as domestics in West Africa, boys as young as four are abducted from countries in South Asia and forced to work as camel jockeys in the Gulf, and women from eastern Europe are sold into Europe's sex industry. To mark Human Rights Day, Tuesday 10 December, Anti-Slavery International is calling on the public to sign the Stop Human Traffic petition urging governments to introduce anti-trafficking laws and to develop measures to protect the victims of human trafficking.
