Child Trafficking
Child trafficking is a form of human trafficking where children are illegally recruited, transported, harbored, or received for the purpose of exploitation. This exploitation can take many forms, including forced labour, sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, and even forced marriage. Traffickers often prey on vulnerable children, promising them a better future or using threats and violence to control them.
Children can be trafficked within their own country or across borders. They may be forced to work in factories, agriculture, or as domestic servants. Some are coerced into criminal activities like begging or drug trafficking. The impact on these children is severe, leading to physical, emotional, and psychological harm.
