Child Trafficking
Child trafficking is one of the world's
major problems. Every year 1.2 million children are trafficked by different
agents. The traffickers bring children and engage them in
factories, mills and brothels. It is a worst form of child labor as defined by
ILO (International Labor Organization). Here the traffickers recruit,
transport, transfer children for the purpose of exploitation.
The agents involved in trafficking
attract the child and his family under the guise of providing employment. They
lure them with the promises of a lucrative job and comfortable lifestyle abroad
and bring them to sell at a high amount of money. Then the child is engaged
into begging, smuggling, drug trade, military and circuses, beer bars,
factories as laborers. As such, the child has to face tremendous torture
physically, sexually and mentally. There is a wide network of these cheats,
often known as traffickers. Brokers, owners of brothels, family relatives,
friends, the police, and political leaders may be connected with this network.
To save individuals from human
trafficking, effective legal agencies should be set up that work against
traffickers and exploiters. Since the network of traffickers is interrelated,
we need to take strict measures to save people from human trading. These
include effective monitoring, effective coordination between the ministries of
tourism, labor and transport to fight against this socio-economic problem. This
is an issue that needs to be dealt with an iron hand as it involves child abuse
and the denial of basic human rights.
