There are a few questionable things about these pictures. From what I can tell, they're grouping continents. Meaning if one Asian country (I.E. India) is a high traffic area, a country nowhere near the Philippines is automatically grouped into the high traffic area, even if there is little to none (I.E. South Korea). This is definitely a picture that has been put together to make it look shocking (Look how big the area is, and the bad areas are a shocking red).
That being said, going on that site and reading some of their stories, it is a very sad and repulsive part of humanity

Based on the way that is presented, and common sense among other things, I question the truth of just about all of those "facts". I don't believe them. Show me an actual paper based on research instead of a piece of propaganda and I might be less skeptical.

I like that "no slavery" is an option, but the US and Canada are still categorized as "less than 500,000." That must be the South Carolina influence.
