Child Exploitation

Child exploitation refers to the abuse of children for personal or financial gain. This can take many forms, including child labor, child trafficking, sexual exploitation, and the use of children in armed conflict. Exploitation of children is a serious issue that violates the rights of children and deprives them of their childhood and opportunities to grow and develop in a safe and healthy environment. It is a global problem that requires urgent action to prevent and address. Governments, civil society organizations, and international bodies all have a role to play in protecting children from exploitation and supporting those who have been affected by it.
