Child trafficking is now on a huge scale but there is a brave army of nuns who silently fights this war head-on according to reports.
The International Labor Organization ILO reports that some 25 million people are forced into slavery worldwide, with almost 5 million being forced into sexual abuse. In Asia and the Pacific the majority of victims of sexual abuse are found - about 3.5 million, up from 200,000 in the Americas, the latest report indicates.
Traffickers move thousands of lives by trains, buses, aircraft, and ships each year and hide them from the sight of the authorities as they fly to places around the world. It is estimated that around the world 40 million people are transported, forced into prostitution and jobs.
