There is still no hard data about the number of victims worldwide, according to the article. The U.N. published a report titled, "Global Report on Trafficking in Persons," to urge governments to strive to learn more about the problem of trafficking and the causes of it. The U.N. hopes that, by bringing light to the issue, they can help governments increase the conviction rate of those arrested for trafficking.
