Human trafficking is a growing problem in the US – and around the world. Georgia, with substantial immigrant and refugee populations as well as large agricultural industries is considered a major destination for US human trafficking. In fact, Atlanta has been named one of the top sex trafficking destinations in the United States. This fact sheet, intended for Georgia judges and court administrators, provides a basic overview of human trafficking numbers and demographics in Georgia, the US and globally. While a variety of internationally recognised reports were consulted for the purposes of this fact sheet, accurate and uniform statistics for human trafficking victims remain a challenge due primarily to the hidden nature of the population.
