CHILD TRAFFICKING
CHILD TRAFFICKING
When a child is being recruited, transferred illegally for the cause of forced labour or sexual harassment then it is termed as child Trafficking. In India it is a huge problem. There are so many cases come in front of us daily as number of students disappear everyday.
Children are trafficked for many reasons-
1. Child sexual exploitation
2. Slavery
3. Forced marriage
4. Domestic servitude like cleaning, childcare, cooking etc..
Physical, sexual, emotional trauma is given to control the victim of trafficked children. Here,the main problem is that we are not so much aware about this crime. We need to take some initiative in order to fight against it.
Child trafficking can have a long lasting and devastating effects on children. They can become mentally imbalanced.They can face some kind of health issues. Even, their confidence level goes down as they start treating them less than the other.
Now , the question is how child trafficking is done. Trafficker first earn the trust of parents, family, children and gradually they become the part of the family. Taking the advantage of the opportunity they just kidnap the child and make them engage in the illegal activities. They make a profit from these activities.
So, in order to stop these activities we have to make our students understand that they should not believe on any stranger no matter what the condition is and parents should also keep an eye on their children.
