Worrying details from across Scotland even show a case of organ harvesting.
Worryingly the numbers forced into slavery, sexual exploitation, criminality and even organ harvesting are growing as ruthless gangs profit from desperate people.
Joy Gillespie, of Survivors of Human Trafficking in Scotland, told the Daily Mail: "The combination of the cost of living crisis, significant labour shortages and increased numbers of displaced people makes human trafficking a lucrative business. "Human trafficking is commonly referred to as 'hidden in plain sight' and we all have a role to play in identifying and reporting concerns in order that more victims can be recovered, supported and live the rest of their lives in freedom."
The region with most instances of potential human trafficking was Greater Glasgow in all three years, with 488 referrals since 2020.
