HILDREN AND CONTEMPORARY SLAVERY<br />

traffickers target 12-17 year old children as their choice<br />

candidates, because they have a longer shelf life - meaning that<br />

they can get more years out of the victim<br />

• 1.2 million children are trafficked each year<br />

• Traffickers target children most commonly from communities that lack social<br />

power, at times with consent of the parents<br />

• Parents often sell their children to recruiters for a cash profit, even though they<br />

know the child will be used for forced labor or sexual exploitation
