Trafficking. Demand and Supply

Description

Child trafficking, one of the gravest forms of child abuse in the world today and affecting the world’s poorest children, is growing. Millions of children—boys and girls alike—have been subjected to untold abuse and shame. Trafficking is the recruitment, transport, and transfer of children through abduction, deception, or force in order to exploit them in some way. Often unaware of their rights and desperate to earn money, both children and their parents are easily tricked or coerced by the traffickers. In their eyes, traffickers offer a real chance at changing their desperate economic situation. Our story reveals three kinds of trafficking that are still prevalent: direct kidnapping of children from their parents, use of trickery to con young girls into prostitution, and voluntary entrapment—a form of trafficking that is wrapped in the guise of legal marriage.
