Child trafficking

Child labour

Child labour reaches many different corners across the world, often occurring in various sectors that can have detrimental educational, health and psychological impacts on children’s well-being.

Sexual abuse of children

Whether one speaks of sexual abuse, sexual violence or sexual exploitation for commercial purposes, they are all criminal offences and cause intolerable suffering for the children affected.

Child prostitution

It is estimated that more than three million minors are used in prostitution networks. This phenomenon is constantly growing because of the increasingly lucrative nature of the activity.
