On the bustling streets of Senegal's capital city, Dakar, 10-year-oldAida sells fruit to passers-by. She uses the money to help pay her feesat school, which she attends most mornings.Meanwhile, in a dimly lit shack in northern Pakistan, 9-year-old Harunsits for 10 hours every day. His small fingers thread minuscule strandsof wool to create elaborately patterned carpets. He will continue to dothis for the rest of his childhood to help pay off his impoverishedfamily's loan. By the time he's an adult, his eyesight will be poor andhe will have few other work options because he never attended school.Both of these children are child labourers, but in very different situations.

Trafficking is a violation of fundamental rights.Trafficking in children is a global problem affecting large numbers of children. Some estimates have as many as 1.2 million children being trafficked every year. There is a demand for trafficked children as cheap labour or for sexual exploitation. Children and their families are often unaware of the dangers of trafficking, believing that better employment and lives lie in other countries.Child trafficking is lucrative and linked with criminal activity and corruption. It is often hidden and hard to address. Trafficking always violates the child’s right to grow up in a family environment. In addition, children who have been trafficked face a range of dangers, including violence and sexual abuse. Trafficked children are even arrested and detained as illegal aliens.Some facts:* UNICEF estimates that 1,000 to 1,500 Guatemalan babies and children are trafficked each year for adoption by couples in North America and Europe.* Girls as young as 13 (mainly from Asia and Eastern Europe) are trafficked as “mail-order brides.” In most cases these girls and women are powerless and isolated and at great risk of violence.* Large numbers of children are being trafficked in West and Central Africa, mainly for domestic work but also for sexual exploitation and to work in shops or on farms. Nearly 90 per cent of these trafficked domestic workers are girls.* Children from Togo, Mali, Burkina Faso and Ghana are trafficked to Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Gabon. Children are trafficked both in and out of Benin and Nigeria. Some children are sent as far away as the Middle East and Europe.Sexual exploitationSexual activity is often seen as a private matter, making communities reluctant to act and intervene in cases of sexual exploitation. These attitudes make children more vulnerable to sexual exploitation. Myths, such as the belief that HIV/AIDS can be cured through sex with a virgin, technological advances such as the Internet which has facilitated child pornography, and sex tourism targeting children, all add to their vulnerability.* Surveys indicate that 30 to 35 per cent of all sex workers in the Mekong sub-region of Southeast Asia are between 12 and 17 years of age.* Mexico’s social service agency reports that there are more than 16,000 children engaged in prostitution, with tourist destinations being among those areas with the highest number.* In Lithuania, 20 to 50 percent of prostitutes are believed to be minors. Children as young as age 11 are known to work as prostitutes. Children from children’s homes, some 10 to 12 years old, have been used to make pornographic movies.

CHILDERN WORK BOYKOTING Worldwide, more than 130 million children work to support themselves and their families. However, it is important to distinguish between different kinds of child labour. Some child labour is harmful to children's development, such as being exposed to dangerous chemicals when spraying pesticides, continuously lifting heavy loads that can curve a child's spine, or working in unsafe conditions that offer no chance for education, as in the case of young Harun. The worst forms of child labour include selling sex as a prostitute; fighting as a child soldier; and being sold, or "trafficked," as a slave worker. Two important documents identify the worst forms of labour for children: the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the International Labour Organization's Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention. But there is also non-harmful child labour, which is necessary for some children, such as Aida. Non-harmful child labour is often part-time and does not stop children from having access to school. It can be beneficial by giving them an income, a sense of accomplishment, and useful social and work-related skills that will be of use to them in their future lives. Rather than trying to stop all child labour, it is important to ensure that children who work gain the knowledge, tools, and opportunities they need to achieve their full potential. You may have heard of children working in "sweatshops"—factories in which working conditions are poor and work hours are long—sewing GAP clothing or stitching Nike shoes. You may even have tried to protect these children by refusing to buy, or boycotting, such brand names. Yet fewer than 5 percent of child workers manufacture goods for export, and this is generally not the most harmful type of work. Research over the last decade shows that blanket bans on child labour and international campaigns to boycott certain products have resulted in many children ending up in more dangerous work situations.
