Hmm I don't remember how many people this book said are being traded. I'm reading quite a few books because I'm preparing for a missions trip to Cambodia and each book has different statistics based on when they were written. It seems that the stats range from 1 million to 4 million a year but no ones really sure because its hard to track. What I found the most astonishing was how Israel is a large consumer in trafficked Russians and how the people who are supposed to be helping to stop human trafficking, mainly the peace corps, are many times "consumers" if you will. As a result, even if the girls do get a chance to escape they don't many times because many times if they went to authorities they would be going to their customers.
The U.S doesn't have as big of a problem since prostitution isn't legal here but some of the girls in some of the more seedy night clubs have been trafficked in. This book was only addressing Eastern European girls, so I'm not sure how it is for other parts of the world but for girls who are trafficked from Eastern Europe most of the time they are tricked into it. They respond to job postings for nannies or waitresses in other countries but when they meet up with their correspondence in the other country they are forced into prostitution. Most of the time the person who meets them there will tell them that they have a debt of some ridiculous amount for travel expenses and that they won't be able to leave until they have repaid that debt. If they try to leave they get beat or killed, and no matter how willing they are to work when they do get there they have to be "broken in" by multiple people who are trafficking them in. Even in the States, the girls who are trafficked in usually end up living with like 10 other girls in a small bedroom and they aren't allowed to leave unless they are going to work. One of the worst parts is that in other countries when there is a police raid on a brothel or something and the girls are identified as trafficked victims, they are simply deported to their own countries. Many times when they arrive in the airport their previous "owners" have people waiting to either kill the girl or re-traffic her.
I didn't say that it isn't a problem here, it's just not as big of a problem as in other countries such as Thailand, Germany, Russia, etc... In one of the books I've begun reading, some stats are listed which estimate that of all the women trafficked out of the former Soviet States, about 3% of them are sent to the United States. Now this book was written in the early 2000's so the number could have changed since then. The number of women who are being trafficked worldwide was estimated to have tripled between 1996 and 2000, so it is probably much larger and much more of a problem now.
