Human trafficking in the Dominican Republic is the third largest international crime enterprise in the
Caribbean, generating 9.5 billion U.S, dollars annually.
[1][2] Dominican women and children are reportedly subjected to
forced sex in their own country and throughout the Caribbean,
Europe,
South America, and the United States. Women from other countries are brought to the Dominican Republic for prostitution, and an unknown number may have subsequently become trafficking victims, even if they came voluntarily at first.
