Trafficking in persons (TIP) for the purposes of exploitation is believed to be one of the most  prolific areas of international criminal activity and is of significant concern to the United States and the international community. The overwhelming majority of those trafficked are women and children. According to the most recent Department of State estimates, roughly 800,000 people are trafficked across borders each year. If trafficking within countries is included in the total world figures, official U.S. estimates are that some 2 to 4 million people are trafficked annually. However, there are even higher estimates, ranging from 4 to 27 million for total numbers of forced or bonded laborers. As many as 17,500 people are believed to be trafficked to the United  States each year. Human trafficking is now a leading source of profits for organized crime  syndicates, together with drugs and weapons, generating billions of dollars. TIP affects virtually every country in the world.
