The official statistics say that women account for 96% of human trafficking victims, whether what's involved is sexual exploitation or forced labour. It's important to point out that for every person who comes forward, nine others do not. We agree that all we're seeing at the moment is the tip of the iceberg. That's what we're trying to sort out.
Homosexual men and others from LGBTQ+ communities definitely represent more than 4% of sexual exploitation victims. It's only logical. Complaints are much less frequent in marginal settings.
And there are fewer organizations that provide support to men in difficulty. Male victims are almost absent from census statistics but are certainly there on the ground. When their suffering is ignored, they are seriously put in harm's way.
