What is Child Trafficking?
Child trafficking is a type of human trafficking and is defined as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of a child for the purpose of exploitation. This can take the form of sexual exploitation, forced labor, slavery, or servitude. It can also include the sale and/or purchase of a child for any purpose.
Child trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery and is a violation of basic human rights. Children who are trafficked often face physical and psychological abuse, as well as exploitation and forced labor. Trafficking affects children from all walks of life, and is particularly prominent in countries with weak economies, high levels of poverty, and limited access to education and health care.
