- CHILD TRAFFICKING
In 2022, Pakistan, Indonesia, China, India and Bangladesh were in the top 10 for countries with the largest number of trafficking victims around the world. Even so, it is estimated that between 18,000 and 20,000 victims are trafficked into the United States every year – 71% of whom enter the US legally. Since 2007, more than 49,000 cases of human trafficking have been reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. The Mexican state of Tlaxcala has been identified as the biggest source of sex slaves to the US. In 2015, five out of 10 of Homeland Security's "most wanted" sex traffickers were from Tenancingo, in Tlaxcala. It is estimated that one in 10 people from Tenancingo were involved in human trafficking.
