Best Answer

More than should have.

Sadly the answer is unknowable. The number of victims of human trafficking each year varies depending on what definition you use--the most conservative numbers say 800,000 people a year are trafficked across international borders. Other numbers put the number of slaves worldwide at 27 million, and others see that as the tip of the iceberg.

Regardless of the number, slaves are inherently disposable--more so today, and cheaper, than they were during the American Civil War. To make matters worse, there isn't a survey whereby people are asked "Hi, do you have any slaves? If so, how many did you kill this year?"

While some of the criminals are so brazen that they would probably answer, realistically it's almost impossible to get good numbers.

What is being done to stop human trafficking?

As of right now there's not a whole lot of action in that area. No legitimate laws exist about human trafficking, and other countries refuse to stop their human trafficking. Many countries turn a blind eye on traffickers so that they can keep their financial agreements with other countries. There are some organizations being formed to help, but at this point they can't do much because traffick victims are too afraid to testify. Here's a great website I found about trafficking...
