The 2011 Trafficking in Person report was released by the United States Department of State in June. The report is released every year and serves as a report card on human trafficking activities around the world.
According to CNN, the report covers the policies of 184 governments as the attempt to fight trafficking in their country.
The State department says that 27 million people are human trafficking victims each year. 100,000 are in the United States black market, according to the report.
Many women who end up in the sex trade are victims of human trafficking. Prostitution finds a lot of new workers by having women forced into the work. They end up being tricked by their boyfriends, or forced to take drugs, or taken to foreign countries where their passports are taken away.
The State department says that more countries have to do more to get rid of slavery.
