My poem i see was 12 years old when she was sold by her own parents she was sent to work as a domestic help in kolkata. Before it started i never understood what would happen we thought that here in the village i would get food or clothes and i thought if i went to the city i would get a better life that they would do this to us is beyond our imagination. My poor hopes it would lead to a better life and provide a vital income for our family wanted to live. They used to get me by the hair brush my head against the wall and put my hair in the fan they had walking sticks nice to beat me with them. The 2 sons who went to school used to mean tell me if you want to study why did you leave your family. My post story is just one of millions a story of disappointments and betrayal. In india children have few rights it is illegal for them to work under the age of 14 but poverty is such that often children are put to work as soon as they are physically able it is a question of necessity. And all beriah is a small village with a painful past all of these girls are victims of trafficking trafficking consented to by their parents and not resisted by their community. Children are sold mostly as a result of ignorance many parents have never left the villages of their birth and to them the cities of places of great wealth and opportunity. The traffickers lure parents with the false promise of a Better Future an education a chance to earn money there is a small payment on the child is interested into their care. Arjun was a child trafficker he has bought and sold children for his own profits he has acted as a middleman preying on poor families and persuading them to hand over their children and then passing them on to brokers in the cities. Hes a known figure in this community as hes responsible for taking several girls away from the village. At a pub i was a cycle mechanic in the village a man from delhi came to my house i asked if he could get me a job in delhi i was in debt and needed money i had a debt of 16000 rupees so i went to delhi and he told me why dont you supply me with the girls from your village and you can take the commission from the families i used to get 200 rupees for each girl i sold 200. 00 rupees is less than 5. 00 in contrast the buffalo here can fetch up to 350. 00. But arjun knows of this money is a life source to the desperately poor villagers he targeted as we pressed him for more details he became uncomfortable talking about his past. At us tomorrow. Im feeling faint youre asking me difficult questions. Let me sit down. I dont like what youre asking me its all in the past i was poor i dont want to talk about it now. Harden says he now realizes the trafficking is wrong and has decided to fight the problem rather than be a part of it. He and many of the parents are now on the same anti Trafficking Committee victims and perpetrators working to try to stop the cruel practices happening in their village. But for many the damage has already been done a mango and her friends were trafficked biology and sent to live with strange families hundreds of miles away where many of them suffered terrible physical abuse man whose mother said she had no choice but to send her daughter away the. One sitting thats. When she was growing up i never thought she would live with someone she didnt know but i have a boy who is disabled we have to spend such a lot on him and hes constantly suffering it destroyed my entire family we got into so much that i didnt know how to bring up 3 children like this how could i educate 2 normal kids i thought i would educate the normal boy he would go to school and the girl would go to work in the city. Van jew like most children was sold out of a mixture of ignorance and the said city the stories brought home by her and her friends have helped to raise awareness but they are haunted by their experiences manages relationship with her mother has suffered. When i went to the city and so other fortunate children who went to school and had a good life they used to wonder what if i would go to school with them but if i had a life of my own if i could study as well and maybe in the future get a job i think my parents were poor they didnt have the money to feed me and thats why they sent me i think it was my mothers fault ive been very angry my mother she told me youve seen our conditions we couldnt fiji what can we do. This Little Village may have been able to fight back successfully against the traffickers but truly its the exception charities estimate for example that in calcutta some 50000 people work as domestic servants in delhi that figure is 80000 and across India Charities say some 11 and a half 1000000 people work for a pittance in somebody elses house some 70 percent of them are children. Child trafficking is the 3rd largest Illicit Trade in the world in the west trafficking carries connotations of the clandestine illegal smuggling of people across international borders. But in india the practice is more open there are more than 10000000 child work because there is no anti trafficking law indias children are ripe to exploitation. But sama beginning to fight back your mom was there i was there at this demonstration thousands of children who turned out to lend their voice to the empty trafficking calls. This is very important because we have been fighting against child slavery child bonded labor child live apart hard sometimes more than 2 and a half to gates but we have. 30 per cent off india 10000000 children who are involved in days other victims off trafficking in one and is a large number just very very big number. Leading the way is 10 year old deadly her parents were trafficked to work in stone quarries and were never able to repay the debt imposed on them by their own as. Deadly was brought up in slavery. My. Family car used to come and keep kicking me keep working keep working. You have to work here dan has to aquia if someone had to feed him went to sleep they got dragged out of banks and beaten and jack back to work be any use to say he will work your dad if someone bartell the name medicines we didnt get any crazy that. They were given to kill is a flower every 2nd day and we have to mix it was water and drink it that was our food the end of pan make and one day and had a fever a day went back to the slim and was laying down there this man came in from the burning piece of wood and preached to me. Over the 100 of these children a form of trafficking victims rescued by the charity. The movement to protect childhood kyler such yachties the organizations found has dedicated his life to the fight against child trafficking for labor. Or is a great day its overwhelming its exciting and im sad that this is the biggest social mobilization in the water again is the menace of child trafficking and particularly for a post labeled. One the people start reeling. Buying and selling off children is a crime its a crime against humanity its not just in the gun is not a matter of law its a method of takes its a matter of morals of them at all humanity and yet jim in those maybe you know conscious of the people i mean changing mindset is the 1st hurdle in the fight against trafficking. These children share a common past have been confined to slavery denied a childhood born education. For the next month theyll travel 5000 kilometers spreading their message across northern india and into the poll warning other children of the dangers of trafficking. In each place they visit the locals look on bewildered but the message seems to be getting through. Kids are being taken to Different Countries and different places girls especially thats what the protest is trying to say most probably they attract kids with money and promise a good life. As a convoy makes its way northward through some of the poorest regions of india its easy to see why parents are willing to believe the promises of the traffickers although much of the trafficking occurs within the country children are routinely taken across indias borders for the traffickers its a remarkably easy journey for many of the boys and girls in their care. Is just the beginning of the night now. By now the marchers of reached the border with the pool while there are some checkpoints vast swathes of the area remain unmanned cross Border Smuggling is rampant so here we are in no mans land thats the main crossing point between india and nepal just a couple 100 yards away here. Over on this side of the road behind me here well this is nepal where the mountains there in the background this road you can see stretching all the way down here its also the border as you can see its absolutely nobody there to guard it and if you come to their thought of the road behind us here. Clearly with the slight his level of sophistication you can move everything you wanted to across the border without being stopped weapons drugs and of course the most precious commodity of all people. At the checkpoint the scale of the police is task is evident theres a steady stream of traffic the bus is a crowded its impossible to detect a traffic child in the tangle of bodies. In even the smallest nepali Village People are preoccupied with finding work abroad for their children. The area near the village of bahrain is a hotbed of maoist activity in recent years theyve been riots bombings and executions. Husband was a maoist who was killed by the police shes been left a widow with 3 Young Children to bring up and her face is a picture of bitterness shes desperate to get the children out of the country. I just want them to go away from here here theres nothing no money everything is finished for us. To go. When he gives us nothing theres no help from anyone to take care of my family. I dont know how it works or who goes where or how how do i know anything about the outside world i hear they all go to saudi or malaysia i dont know how they go there ive never stepped outside this village i just want to do something which will make my kids and my family live a better life. What keil is the villages local Success Story hes done well for himself and has clearly made some money he has a job in the gulf working in the gold markets and says he can find jobs for the children of the village. We can help these people because when they are grown up enough big and send them out of vogue there are many agents here a lot of people in the girl who can organize visas for you and some can give an edge to tolls and appease some time it goes up 2100000 then began be sent abroad. Would never call himself a trafficker and he clearly wants the best for his village but to outsiders he would be seen as a man whos willing to find work underage children. The further the children are taken and the more often they change hands the more difficult they are to trace and the easier it is to exploit them. Close to them the pollie border is a shelter for boys rescued from forced labor. Theyd all run away from home and for some being sold was a relief many of their employers would treat them better than their own parents. Are used to beat me over not. Doing good regaining. That left town we have 3 was as a result eldest in your. State the local train station. Could be used to beat me or everyday lives. 10 years old he has a big smile but his eyes are full of sadness like many of the other children on the march was rescued in a raid conducted. On the police. I used to graze cattle in my village then came along and give me. A promise me and took me to the next town tricked me and took me to northern india. And i was given to another agent. From. Me further into punjab and sold me to someone else that family. To food the pollution. In their houses everything. For construction i never got any money in return. To money. Well trafficked boys are usually put to work as manual labor as girls as Domestic Health has an altogether more sinister element to trafficking. In this brothel in the indian capital men queue up the way that. Some of the girls have chosen to be here but there are many bangladeshi girls have been forced into prostitution by traffickers into a life of degradation and exploitation and i dont mean you know i dont think you know what i. Mean when you know my i mean you know i know the in. The shelter in dhaka the capital of bangladesh is home to girls who are victims of sex trafficking. When holes nairo was 13 her mother sold her into what she thought was a job in a Steel Company but the traffickers had plans to sell her on to a brothel in kolkata. But what ive seen. My mother is a bad woman she listens to other people and sold me off to listening to other people we were poor my mother told me shed a ranger job for me as a domestic helper. But they said if you dont do sex work will never be able to return home again to see your brother and sister. This girl is so ashamed of her possed she doesnt want to be seen she thought she was going for a job as a waitress in singapore but she was locked in the shipping container and forced to serve as migrant workers. I didnt think about running away but i was scared the benefit he would kill me if i tried. The traffickers told her she could earn her freedom by having sex with 240 men. She managed to escape all to sleeping with half that number. The children on the march have made friends easily the evenings are a time for fun a chance for children to be at ease and to be young. Thanks in the safety and care of their sorrow guardian they display a newfound confidence. After 4 weeks on the road and having covered a distance of more than 5000 kilometers the march comes to an end in the capital delhi. The marchers will present a petition demanding a change in the law. Leading the procession a recognition deadly. Event on a pile and india mingle with kids from other countries and that give us an opportunity to learn and not know we have reason to go ahead and to study and become something and i. Think kids turn one country to another a chap and. They may can thank the government should think about it and they should be learning again to protect. The man behind the march will keep dreaming of a day when indian children have the same rights as children around the world. And. That was children for sale well following that firm tell us that the out these work on behalf of indias exploited children was recognised by the award in 2014 of the Nobel Peace Prize and im so pleased to say that weve got him with us from new delhi mr southie r.

Forced labor in the millennium development. And we were raising this issue that you cannot achieve many of these goals without. Enough charlie rodents navy like practices so in the Sustainable Development goals we this is this issue i did this is a personally with a number of president s and prime ministers and un agencies herricks including the secretary general of United Nations and they cannot say no to it maybe because of this noble tag and they were convinced that yes we have to introduce it now we have a very clear agent of irrigation of child labor in all it on by a 2025 violence against children child marriages child trafficking and by titian our children and the farm has to do and so then what next for you and for your campaign globally we know that.
