Prevention of trafficking in persons 2010, para. 31
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Demand for services is sometimes interpreted to refer primarily to the market for commercial sex, where trafficked women and girls represent a high proportion of those involved in providing commercial sex and demand comes chiefly from adult men and older adolescent boys. However, boys and some adult men are also trafficked for this purpose. Estimates provided by international organizations about the proportion of people who are trafficked to be exploited in prostitution versus those trafficked for other purposes vary, with ILO estimating in 2005 that the largest proportion had been trafficked for purposes other than the exploitation of the prostitution of others and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) estimating in its own global report in 2009 that the majority had been trafficked for sexual purposes.
