The 2020 Federal Human Trafficking Report is available now.

Dear John,

Today, I am excited to announce the release of the 2020 Federal Human Trafficking Report. The Report is an annual publication of the Human Trafficking Institute that provides comprehensive data from every federal criminal and civil human trafficking case that U.S. courts handle each year. For the first time, the 2020 Report compiles data from every federal criminal human trafficking case since 2000, the year the landmark Trafficking Victims Protection Act was passed into law.

“The 2020 Federal Human Trafficking Report provides policymakers, researchers, journalists, and nonprofit leaders with an essential tool to analyze the U.S. enforcement of anti-trafficking laws. One government leader described it as the most reliable cross-section of human trafficking data within the United States. The 2020 Report fills a major gap in data collection to support trafficking prosecutions by presenting prosecution trends since 2000. Our goal is to continue to fill the gaps in these efforts and provide a vision for this type of data collection in other countries.”

Victor Boutros, Chief Executive Officer

A team of seven attorneys and eight law school students identified and analyzed every human trafficking case in the federal court system in 2020. Court documents, press releases, and news sources were reviewed, and prosecutors across the country were consulted, to gather a comprehensive set of data that includes: type of trafficking case, details about the trafficking scheme, demographics of the victim, and conviction rates and sentencing details for convicted traffickers, among others.

If you missed seeing the 2020 Report authors discuss the importance of the trends featured in the Report, watch here:
