I (your name) feel honor and fortunate to have the opportunity to speak on a topical matter that is child trafficking.
Child trafficking is a way of seizing children from their families and their opportunities to lead a normal life by violating basic human rights.
Children who are born into poverty, in low-income families and areas and are oppressed. The families with a long downtrodden line of poverty are more likely to fall prey to this serious crime. As the families try to cope up with their limitations of lack of proper education and better economic opportunities, traffickers come along and promise their families of giving money. In return, the ask for their children to be sent off work so they can lead better lives.
The traffickers can be men and women, both use deceit as their weapon of choice.
The children are trafficked into worse conditions and are forced into illegal activities like labour, making them work in factories and industries in unhygienic environments. Girls are forcefully married or traded into prostitution which is also called commercial trafficking. It leads to multiple pregnancies in young girls and they also lose their lives. The children are also used for the extraction of organs.
There are a few organisations that carry out rescue missions to protect these children from labour and sexual exploitation.
There are organisations that are fighting against trafficking and taking actions to provide a home and take care of victims who somehow managed to get out of it. But this is a long fight and there aren’t enough organisations fighting for it. UNICEF that is the United Nations Children's Fund is a Humanitarian Aid Organization that works on a global level to provide a rehabilitation.
Thank you.
