Interactive dashboard in Power BI showing visual representations of the counts of human trafficking cases with different attributes: year of registration, gender, age, type of labor exploitation, type of sexual exploitation, citizenship, and country of exploitation. Light green frequency bars to the left represent counts of attributes dynamically generated by Power BI. These light green frequency bars are repeated on the right, paired with dark green frequency bars showing actual counts for comparison. The age range 9–17 is selected, corresponding to 18,740 estimated cases. This is identical to the actual count shown on the right. The most frequent type of labor exploitation associated with this age range is “other.”
