In Guatemala, 60 percent of sex trafficking victims are children

 

Human trafficking is one of the most lucrative criminal enterprises in the world. Although sexual exploitation accounts for just over half of all detected human trafficking victims globally, statistics are lacking on how many of those victims are children.

 

In Guatemala, however, trafficking children for sexual exploitation is something of a crisis, with 57 percent of victims under the age of 18, according to a new U.N. report.

 

The shocking proportion of children amounts to nearly 30,000 of the total 48,500 Guatemalans who are victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation, a business whose profits amounted to $1.6 billion a year, according to the report by UNICEF and the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG).
