Sex trafficking is defined as “the range of activities involved when a trafficker uses force, fraud, or coercion to compel another person to engage in a commercial sex act”.

FACT: 7 Million Children are Victims of Sex Trafficking Yearly

​

FACT: 3.3 Million Children are Victims of Labor Trafficking Yearly

​

FACT: Children are exploited begging, child pornography, or child labor.

​

FACT: It is estimated that 199,000 human trafficking incidents occur within the United States every year.

​

TO REPORT A TRAFFICKING CASE IN THE U.S., CALL THE NATIONAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING HOTLINE: (888) 373-7888.  Hotline is available 24/7, 365 days a year, and in more than 200 languages.

Violence, abuse and exploitation of children in West and Central Africa are rampant. Surveys show that the vast majority of children experience violent discipline. Nearly one in three teenage girls have been beaten or hit since the age of 15, and one in 10 raped or sexually abused.

​

Child marriage – a serious violation of children’s rights – affects four in 10 girls aged 20–24 who were married before their 18th birthday. The region also has a quarter of all girl victims of female genital mutilation and cutting, and the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in the world.

Despite significant progress in improving civil registration and vital statistics systems, birth registration rates in the region are low and declining in some countries. Less than half of all children under five in West and Central Africa are registered at birth.

 

Children in the region are especially affected by migration. Many are currently on the move, either unaccompanied or traveling with their families. Migration involves plucking children from their homes, schools and communities, which can be hugely disruptive, stressful and dangerous.

​

Armed conflict, which plagues some of the region’s countries, has also put the lives of children in serious danger. Children are experiencing grave child rights in violations such as killing, injury, recruitment by armed forces or groups, sexual violence, abduction, denial of humanitarian assistance and attacks on schools and hospitals.

Child Marriage

Every year, at least 12 million girls are married before they reach the age of 18. This is 28 girls every minute.

​

650 million girls and women alive today were married as children.

​

Child marriage threatens girls' education, health, emotional well-being, and the health of their children. To put an end to this harmful practice, our partners works with countries to galvanize political will, develop laws, provide health care to women and girls affected by female genital mutilation/cutting and mobilize communities to change behaviour.
