Human Trafficking Routes and Fuzzy Graphs

The following is taken from [1]. Tackling global human trafficking is a major challenge because of the complex network of elusive gangs operating across borders. One of the most disturbing things about global human trafficking is just how pervasive it is. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), an agency of the UN, 48.6 million people were trapped in some form of human slavery in 2021—27.6 million of whom were in forced labor and 22 million in forced marriage. Of the 27.6 million in forced labor, 6.3 million people were victims of commercial sexual exploitation. The ILO also points out that the problem of global human trafficking has “risen significantly” in recent years—and occurs in almost every country of the world.
