Slavery of children is a form of modern slavery that involves the exploitation of children for labor, sexual exploitation, or other forms of abuse. Children who are subjected to slavery are often forced to work long hours in dangerous and unhealthy conditions, and they may be paid very low wages or not paid at all. They may also be subjected to physical and sexual abuse, and they may be isolated and cut off from their families and communities. Slavery of children is a serious violation of fundamental human rights, and it is illegal in many countries. However, it still persists in some parts of the world, and it is an ongoing issue that requires continued efforts to end it.
