Trafficking of children

Trafficking of children refers to the illegal trade of minors for various exploitative purposes, including forced labor, sexual exploitation, or domestic servitude. It involves recruiting, transporting, or harboring children through means such as deception, coercion, or abuse of power. Traffickers often prey on vulnerable families and communities, exploiting their circumstances for profit. This serious crime violates children's rights, deprives them of safety and opportunities for a healthy future, and has far-reaching social and psychological impacts. Efforts to combat child trafficking include legal measures, awareness campaigns, and support for victims and prevention programs.
