In spite of numerous efforts to fight the trade, the number of people affected by human trafficking is still high. A study by the Polaris Project estimates that ...

Human trafficking has existed since pre-modern times. The European slave trade, which began in the 1400s, is one of the first instances of organized human trafficking and the practice has continued to the present day (“Timeline of Human Trafficking”).
