The vast majority of forced labor happens in the private sector, while the remainder is imposed by state authorities. Commercial sexual exploitation accounts for 23% of private-sector forced labor, and almost four-fifths of those trafficking victims are women or girls. The remaining 63% of private-sector forced labor occurs in other industries.

This injustice, the trio of organizations said, can be attributed to"irregular or poorly governed migration, or unfair and unethical recruitment practices." Modern slavery, said Walk Free founding director Grace Forrest,"continues to underpin our global economy," but that doesn't have to be the case.
