From the US Department of State, Trafficking in Persons Report via ITeams:

Each year, an estimated 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders (some international organizations place the number higher), and the trade is growing.

Of the people trafficked across international borders, 70% are female and 50% are children. The majority of these victims are forced into the commercial sex trade.
