The majority of human trafficking victims in Canada are women younger than 25 years old, a new Statistics Canada report (pdf) found.

Between 2009 and 2016 there were 875 victims of human trafficking, police-reported data revealed. Of those victims, about 72 percent were identified to be under 25 years of age. Going deeper, about 26 percent—or 1 in 4—victims were less than 18 years old, the June 27 findings revealed.
