According to the International Labor Organization more than 4.8 million individuals are victims of human trafficking worldwide.   Criminals use social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, as well as dating apps like Tinder to find and groom vulnerable segments of the digital population.

​

While many instances of Human trafficking involve female victims and sexual exploitation, human trafficking is a problem that knows no gender.  Children and adults alike are often forced into extreme low wage labor or slave labor.
