Social issue: Human trafficking…
In this report I will be writing about human trafficking in Wales, Europe and other parts of the world.

They are transported away from their families and communities and are forced to work against their own will. People are trafficked both between countries and within the borders of a state.

The report suggested an increase in the number of children being forced into crime, including street begging. The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre estimates there are about 300 child trafficking victims in the UK every year. In London, police deal with more than 100 cases of trafficking a year. Some will involve more than 400 victims but the majority involve about 10 to 15 people. There are an estimated 92 organised crime groups in the UK which also involves human
