Historical Changes 
Over the last 10 years, the profiles of both victims and offenders has changed. Women still represent the majority of trafficked victims, but the share of men and children has increased in recent years, in addition to those trafficking for forced labor purposes.

The UNODC points that victims and traffickers often share various backgrounds in terms of:
 Language and ethnicity
 Citizenship
 Gender
 In some cases, family ties

Victim Profiles 

There is no single profile for victims, as they come from diverse backgrounds in terms of "race, color, national origin, disability, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, education level, and citizenship status". However, they all have some form of vulnerability which the trafficker leverages.

These include, but are not limited to:
 Poverty
 Isolation from family and other social networks
 Separation from country of origin
 Drug addiction
 Runaway or homeless youth
 Sexual/physical abuse and incest
Moreover, it is common to see victims coming from war and conflict, as refugees are commonly targeted by traffickers who take advantage of their desperation.

It was also found that female offenders often served as both victims and offenders, typically in that order.
