Estimations made by different anti-slavery groups differ, according to the criteria used to define slavery. Some estimations situate the number of slaves in 2.7 million (Anti Slavery Society), while others take that number to 27 million (Free the Slaves). The BBC has also estimated the number of people performing forced labor, one of the most common forms of contemporary slavery (but not the only one), in 12.3 million, producing goods and services worth 31.6 billion dollars. Other prominent forms of slavery are sexual slavery and children forced to become soldiers. Usually slavery involves trafficking people across long distances, for example young girls trafficked from Eastern Europe into the UK to work as prostitutes.
