ALIVE AND WELL IN SA
The buying and selling of people for exploitation through forced labour, sex work and domestic slavery is the fastest-growing crime in the world.
Slavery is a $150 billion global industry, says the International Labour Organisation; 75 percent. The Global Slavery Index, a study of modern-day slavery, found that SA is home to about 155000 human trafficking victims. The Western Cape in particular is considered a source, transit area and destination for those forced into labour and sex trafficking.
