"Estimates and other reported
figures on trafficking in persons vary greatly depending on the
source of information. Australian Government sources suggest that
“there is no evidence of any large scale [trafficking] problem
in Australia...." In summary, government agencies seem to
be aware of about 100-200 cases of trafficking in recent years.
This is in contrast to some non-government organisations which
suggest that approximately 1000 trafficked women are in Australia
at any one time".
