caption_attribution_description: English: A schematic showing global human trafficking, with specific focus to women and children. The map was based mostly on the UNODC map at http://strobelife.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/human_trafficking_map.gif and was accompleted with the moderate countries of origin of this map: http://www.thewe.cc/thewe_/images_5/bbc/_44425220_human_traffick_416map.gif Some simplifications were made; ie some countries on the first map shows that there are countries of both origin and destination; notably Poland, Czech republic, Pakistan, India and China. The exact route of trafficking can be seen (to some degree, maps don't match fully) at http://www.fas.org/irp/threat/754727.gif A map showing the exact trafficking routes can be found at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Trafficking_of_women,_children_and_men_routes.svgColour legend:Countries of origin Yellow: Moderate number of persons Orange: High number of persons Red: Very high number of personsCountries of destination Light blue: High number of persons Blue: Very high number of personsCountries shown in grey are neither countries of origin nor countries of destination.
context_page_description: Sexual economics relates to how participants think, feel, behave and give feedback during sex or relevant sexual events. This theory states that the thinking, preferences and behavior of men and women follow the fundamental economic principles. It was proposed by psychologists Roy Baumeister and Kathleen Vohs.
context_section_description: Human trafficking is a global issue and has consistently existed for centuries, nevertheless, it entered public consciousness around the beginning of the twenty-first century. Human trafficking is the process of enslaving people and exploiting them. Sex trafficking is one of the most common types of human trafficking. According to the data derived by The United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime in 2016, 51% identified victims of human trafficking were women, children made up 28% and 21% were men. 72% of those who were exploited in the sex industry were women, while 63% of identified traffickers were men. Most victims are placed in abusive and coercive situations, but escaping is also difficult and life-threatening for them.
  According to The International Labor Organization, 4.5 million people are affected by sex trafficking in the world. Sex trafficking victims are often caught by various prosecuted criminal activities such as illegal prostitution. Besides the law, problems like long-lasting problems such as disease (AIDS), malnutrition, psychological trauma, addiction to drugs, and social ostracism against this group of people should be addressed as well.
