Hello everyone,
Evidence Aid's latest bulletin is now available here: https://evidenceaid.org/evidence-aid-newletter-25-july-2024/
Next Tuesday, July 30th 2024, is UN World Day Against Trafficking in Persons (1). According to the Global Report Against Trafficking in Persons (GLOPTIP) (2) by the UN Office on Drugs and Crimes, one in three trafficked persons is a child, and children are twice as likely to face violence during trafficking than adults (3). Thus, this year’s theme is "Leave on Child Behind in the Fight Against Human Trafficking" (3).
Different forms of trafficking include forced labour, crime, begging, illegal adoption, sexual abuse and online exploitation (1). The causes of trafficking are various—the vulnerability of children is often amplified due to poverty, armed conflicts, lack of parental care, and migration/displacement which results in many minors being unaccompanied by adults (1)—all of which subject children to the risk of trafficking and exploitation. Consequently, in this month’s newsletter, we highlight three Evidence Aid summaries that focus on the vulnerability of children and adolescents.
