Fastest Growing Criminal Enterprise
Child sex trafficking is said to be the world’s fastest growing criminal enterprise, with an estimated two million child victims being abducted and sold into sexual bondage annually. The true numbers may be even higher; the dark world in which child traffickers operate does not lend itself to easy quantification. And despite occasional acknowledgment of this massive crisis by the United Nations, the U.S. State Department, and the FBI, relatively little has been done to bring the trafficking kingpins to justice or to break up the trafficking networks.
According to a 2012 UNICEF report, around 30 million children were trafficked globally between 1982 and 2012. The child sex trade has exploded in the decade since that report came out.
With wars, revolutions, economic dislocation, social collapse, and mass migration affecting much of the globe, the number of vulnerable children has vastly increased. At the same time, the perverse market for sex with children has been stoked by the booming internet-fed child porn industry, school programs aimed at sexually grooming children, and an organized pedophile lobby that has rebranded its deviant predators as being merely “minor-attracted persons.”
