>According to current estimates, 21–36 million people are trafficked or enslaved each year, generating more than $150 billion in revenue for the criminals who perpetrate this grave human rights injustice. Although global attention to the issue is gradually increasing, greater devotion of resources is still needed. Since 2009, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) has placed a particular focus on this issue and has encouraged members to develop Commitments to Action to combat human trafficking. CGI members have mobilized to affect change across all aspects of the anti-trafficking space, including working to stem the supply of and demand for trafficked persons, reforming the justice system, rescuing trafficking victims, empowering survivors, and raising awareness among the general public.
