Human Trafficking-53% of population vulnerable and only 1% victims rescued

More than 53% of the population is vulnerable to trafficking and the reality is that less than 1% of victims are ever rescued. This is according to anti-human trafficking non-profit organisation, A21. South Africa is known as a source, transit, and destination country, with an estimated 155 000 people enslaved. The beauty and perception of economic prosperity lure people from all over Africa and Asia with the promise of a better life. As we continue with our Human Trafficking feature, today we learn more about how perpetrators operate, the types of human trafficking that exist and how victims are tracked down. We spoke to International Consultant and Human Trafficking and Organized Crime Scholar @ Unisa's Department of Police Practice, Marcel van der Watt.
