Human trafficking is a global problem that affects millions of people every year, regardless of their gender. However, the trafficking of men and boys is often overlooked and under-reported.
Trafficking of men and boys can take many forms, including forced labour, debt bondage, and sexual exploitation. Men and boys may be trafficked for a variety of reasons, such as to work in agriculture, construction, or other industries, or to be used in the sex trade.
One reason for the under-reporting of the trafficking of men and boys is that the focus is often on the trafficking of women and girls, which can make it difficult for men and boys to come forward and report their experiences. Men and boys may also feel ashamed or embarrassed to admit that they have been trafficked, especially if they were trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
