The report on "Trafficking In Persons : Global Patterns," published on 24 April 2006 by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), shows that virtually no country in the world is unaffected by the crime of human trafficking for sexual exploitation or forced labour. It underlines that global efforts to combat trafficking are being hampered by a lack of accurate data, reflecting the unwillingness of some countries to acknowledge that the problem affects them.
