"Janet Drake, a senior assistant attorney general in Colorado who has prosecuted human trafficking cases, called the new report "a game changer."
"Only 16 percent of cases identified through the hotline calls involved labor trafficking, Drake says, "but now we realize through the work we've done that labor trafficking is probably at least as prevalent, if not more so, than sex trafficking. And that's a real problem we've had as prosecutors – being able to identify and disrupt these labor trafficking networks.""

Slavery trafficking victims crippled by fear in UK | UK | Al Jazeera
""In my experience, physical ill-treatment, including sexual abuse and rape, is often a central component at various stages or throughout the trafficking experience, for men, as well as for women. Trafficking is a form of obtaining complete control over a person, and the use of rape as a weapon is a powerful method of control," Witkin says."
