According Amit Mahajan from United Nations (UN), Human Trafficking is a major development issue but underrated by everyone because of politics and because this crime is still so hidden, but to give you an idea, there are over 100,000 people trafficked every year and sold for hundreds of millions of dollars. The victims range from child to adult women and men tricked and forced through various means to and exploited for sexual and labour purposes and sometimes even trading of organs.

We are trying to build a strong coalition of private sector companies, philanthropists, foundations and social entrepreneurs to combat this crime. Human trafficking is not only a shame for all of us, but also has a major impact on economic growth, impoverishing geographic areas where businesses could develop. By reducing the potential workforce, it leads to higher costs in health care costs and therefore taxes etc.
