Progress & Info of Goal 16 in 2018

More than 570 different flows involving trafficking in persons were detected between 2012 and 2014.
In 2014, the majority of detected trafficking victims (for sexual exploitation or forced labour) were women and girls (71 per cent), and about 28 per cent were children.
The proportion of prisoners held in detention without being sentenced for a crime remained almost constant in the last decade: from 32 per cent in 2003–2005 to 31 per cent in 2014–2016.
Almost one in five firms worldwide report receiving at least one bribery payment request when engaged in regulatory or utility transactions.
Globally, 73 per cent of children under 5 have had their births registered.
At least 1,019 human rights defenders, journalists and trade unionists have been killed in 61 countries since 2015.
Freedom-of-information laws and policies have been adopted by 116 countries, with at least 25 countries doing so over the last five years. However, implementation remains a challenge.
Since 1998, 116 countries have established a national human rights institution that has been peer reviewed for compliance with internationally agreed standards. However, only 75 of these countries have institutions that are fully compliant.
