Protecting Children from Exploitation
Because child trafficking is lucrative and often linked with criminal activity and corruption, it is hard to estimate how many children suffer, but trafficking and exploitation is an increasing risk to children around the world. Often they are trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation, like prostitution, or for labor such as domestic servitude, agricultural work, factory work, mining, or child soldiering. There are 215 million children engaged in child labor, with 115 million of those children in hazardous work. Sometimes sold by a family member or an acquaintance, sometimes lured by false promises of education and a "better" life — the reality is that these trafficked and exploited children are held in slave-like conditions without enough food, shelter, or clothing and often severely abused and cut off from all contact with their families.
What We Do: Launch Advocacy CampaignsWith all the excitement leading up to the South Africa World Cup 2010, it is easy to forget that such a major sporting event can lead to child trafficking and unsafe child migration. To help protect children during this time, and raise community awareness of the dangers, Save the Children in Mozambique has launched an advocacy campaign called "Open Your Eyes" with radio and television programs, interviews, posters and postcards that will reach 250,000 people. The former national team captain, Tico-Tico, even volunteered his own time to appear in several advertisements to highlight the problem of child trafficking. Even though the World Cup will soon be over, Save the Children hopes that this advocacy will help protect vulnerable children long after the champions and fans return home.
