Report casts doubt on the accuracy of the figures and methodology. It says:

"Doubt on U.S. and International Estimates: The U.S. government and three international organizations have gathered data on global human trafficking. However, these organizations face methodological weaknesses and institutional constraints that cast doubt on the accuracy of the collected data. The four organizations with databases on global trafficking in persons are the U.S. government, International Labor Organization (ILO), IOM,10 and UNODC".
