Child trafficking

Every year, worldwide, an estimated 1.2 million children are “trafficked” into prostitution, domestic slavery or other exploitative labour.

The victims come from developing and industrialised countries. They are transported internally and across borders. But all are destined for ruthless exploitation.

 

There are several novels in our Library about this topic. Here are two:
F HAW Mountain Wolf by Rosanne Hawke

F MCC Sold by Patricia McCormick
