Reported cases of human trafficking increased by 12 per cent last financial year, Australian Federal Police data reveals. That included 109 reports of human trafficking, 91 of forced marriage, 69 of forced labour, 59 of sexual exploitation, four of slavery and one report of organ trafficking. The AFP attributed the significant rise in reporting in the 2023-24 financial year to an increased awareness of human trafficking in the Australian community.
” One in three victims of human trafficking globally is a child, according to United Nations data. Earlier this month AFP dismantled an organised criminal group allegedly involved in trafficking a child from Indonesia for sex work. AFP released the human trafficking data to coincide with the United Nations’ World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.
