HRF Report: Authoritarianism and Human Trafficking

Human trafficking, considered a modern form of slavery, exists in every region of the world. In 2021, there were an estimated 27.6 million individuals trapped in modern slavery and 22 million trapped in forced marriage globally. While human trafficking exists in every country, the evidence suggests a strong connection between the political regime types of countries and how effectively they address trafficking. Unfortunately, international bodies and nongovernmental organizations have largely failed to examine and highlight this connection.
