The mission of the Project to End Human Trafficking is to work toward the elimination of trafficking in persons, especially women and children trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation. PEHT engages in anti-trafficking coalition building, educational outreach, direct service to victims, and collaboration with other national and international organizations in the global fight against human trafficking.
- Human trafficking refers to all acts related to the recruitment, transport, sale, or purchase of individuals through force, fraud or other coercive means for the purpose of economic exploitation (Trafficking in Persons Report, 2008).
- 12.3 million people are enslaved worldwide (International Labor Organization).
- Other estimates list that four million (Farr, 2005) to 27 million (Bales, 1999) people are held in forced labor or sexual slavery at any given point in time.
- 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders annually, of whom approximately 80 percent are women and girls, and up to 50 percent are minors (Trafficking in Persons Report, 2008).
