According to the UNICEF, how many children are trafficked each year? [br] [orig

The United Nations estimates that at any given time 2 1/2 million people find themselves in situations that are defined as forced labor or sexual exploitation. Fifty-six percent, 1.4 million, are in Asia and the Pacific.
    The global organization says human trafficking affects more than 160 nations that serve either as a source, a transit point or a destination.
    According to figures from the International Labor Organization, the majority of trafficking victims are between the ages of 18 and 24. The United Nations Children Funds, UNICEF, estimates that 1. 2 million children are trafficked each year. Another recent study says that 95 percent of trafficked people experience physical or sexual violence.
    UN studies show that the estimated annual global profit from trafficked people is almost $ 32 billion. Almost half of that is generated in industrialized economies.
    So far, 116 nations have ratified a UN protocol against trafficking, the only international agreement that addresses human trafficking as a crime. The Trafficking Protocol requires ratifying nations to criminalize human trafficking and help victims.
