Millions of women and girls are trafficked across the world. According to the international human rights group, Walk Free, three out of four women are trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
Most women are taken against their will or are deceived. Wherever they are trafficked, these women live in pain and fear.
The Covid pandemic did not stop human trafficking but instead increased risk factors that pushed women to face domestic abuse, making them desperate, and eager to seek a quick way out.
