The silent epidemic
Ending Child Trafficking
Protecting girls from exploitation
Child trafficking, particularly the forced recruitment of girls into prostitution, is one of the gravest violations of human rights in the modern world. We work to prevent it, rescue survivors and help them rebuild.
A crisis hidden in plain sight
Traffickers exploit the vulnerabilities of children for profit, stripping young girls of their safety, dignity and future. Most victims come from households already living with poverty, migration or family breakdown.
Research consistently shows that the majority of trafficked children experienced abuse or neglect before exploitation, and that children in unstable care arrangements are at far higher risk.
Why girls are targeted
- Poverty and economic hardship: Desperation makes families and children easy targets for false promises of work.
- Lack of education: Without schooling, girls have fewer options and less information to recognise danger.
- Family breakdown and abuse: Children from unsafe homes or institutional care face the highest risk.
- Online exploitation: Social media is used to groom and recruit under the cover of jobs or modelling offers.
- Migration: Unaccompanied children on the move are especially exposed.
The toll on survivors
- Physical trauma: Injuries, chronic pain and severe weight loss from deprivation.
- Sexual trauma: High rates of infection and unplanned pregnancy.
- Mental health: Depression, anxiety, PTSD and suicidal thoughts are widespread.
- Substance dependence: Many survivors use substances to cope with trauma.
- Lost education: Trafficked young people are far more likely to drop out of school.
