The international legal definition is set out in the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children: "Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation". Sexual exploitation is by far the most commonly identified form of human trafficking (54% in 2014), followed by forced labour (38% in 2014). Traffickers and their victims often come from the same place, speak the same language or have the same ethnic background. Such commonalities help traffickers generate trust to carry out the trafficking crime. Being of the same gender can also enhance trust. Data from court cases indicate that women are commonly involved in the trafficking of women and girls, in particular. Most of the detected victims of trafficking in persons are females; either women or underage girls.
