2. “It is very clear that everyone has a role to play in fighting modern slavery and that unless we all come together and unite against it, we are going to face an uphill battle. That is why the ILO, with many partners, has facilitated the creation ofAlliance 8.7. A partnership ofpartnerships, as it is called, Alliance 8.7 is a coalition committed to accelerating and intensifying actions to tackle the problems of forced labour, modern slavery, human trafficking and child labour, thereby contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 8.7.

Forced sexual exploitation accounts for 22 per cent of all victims, whereas forced labour exploitation makes up 68 per cent of the total. This is a huge business. In fact in 2014 estimates indicated that it generates annual profits of$150 billion. Two-thirds of the estimated total, or $99 billion, came from commercial sexual exploitation, while another $51 billion resulted from forced economic exploitation, including domestic work, agriculture and other economic activities.
