Child trafficking is the illegal trade of children for various purposes, including forced labor, sexual exploitation, or illegal adoption. It often involves deceit, coercion, or violence, where children are taken from their families or communities and sold to traffickers. This crime affects millions of children worldwide, leaving them vulnerable and at risk of abuse. The process of child trafficking can occur in many ways, such as through poverty, conflict, or lack of education. Traffickers may promise families a better life for their children, but instead, the children face dangerous and exploitative situations. Efforts to combat child trafficking involve law enforcement, awareness campaigns, and support for affected families.
