Read previewAs the 2024 Olympics Games plays out in Paris, some nonprofits are warning of a dark reality looming over the sporting event.
Wijeyakumar said Rahab's Daughters had distributed pamphlets ahead of the Paris Olympics at a local refugee camp.
Rahab's Daughters has identified labor and sex trafficking occurring mainly within the manufacturing, construction, retail, and hospitality industries in Paris.
The US National Human Trafficking Hotline explains on its website, however, that human trafficking is "notoriously underreported."
These figures are based on interviews with survivors, reports Rahab's Daughters has received, and data it has collected from online ads.
