What is child slavery?

Child slavery is when a child is

handed over and exploited for
someone else's gain, meaning
the child will have no way to
leave the situation or person
exploiting them.

CHILD LABOUR
It is not a slavery, but
makes it difficult for
development and
education. Child labour
tends to be undertaken
when the child is in the
care of their parents.
Child trafficking
The worst form of child slavery.
Trafficking is where children and
young people are tricked, forced or
persuaded to leave their homes and
are moved or transported and then
exploited, forced to work or sold.
Children are trafficked for sexual
exploitation or organs.
Signs of child trafficking
Knowing the signs of trafficking can help give
a voice to children. Sometimes children won't
understand that what's happening to them is
wrong. Or they might be scared to speak out.
It may not be obvious that a child has been
trafficked but you might notice unusual or
unexpected things.
Effects of child trafficking
Children and young people who've been
trafficked might:
not understand what's happened to them is
abuse - especially if they've been groomed
believe they're in a relationship with their
abuser and unaware they're being exploited
think they played a part in their abuse or have
broken the law
feel very guilty or ashamed about the abuse
they've suffered.
Who’s at risk?
Any child is at risk of child trafficking.
It happens due to:
differences between countries
poverty
the effects of war
low levels of education
lack of equal opportunities, discrimination or
marginalisation.
