Over 200,000 children work as slaves in West and Central Africa. Boys work on cotton and cocoa plantations while girls work as domestic servants and prostitutes. The article describes the story of Shyima, a 10-year-old girl who was bought by a wealthy couple and forced to work up to 20 hours a day with no breaks or days off, earning only $45 per month. Cocoa farmers are often paid so little that they resort to slave labor using children, who are not paid and can be beaten or killed if they do not work satisfactorily or try to escape. The author questions when and how child slavery began in Africa and why children would be chosen as slaves.

A portrait of a filipino
The document provides a biopsychosocial analysis of what constitutes a Filipino identity. It examines the biological, psychological, and socio-cultural influences that shape the Filipino mind, heart, and soul. The biological components include physical traits like brown skin and black hair that result from the mixing of Austronesian, Spanish, American, and other ethnicities. Psychologically, Filipinos are resilient, family-oriented, and take pride in their nationality. Socio-culturally, they value collectivism, hospitality, and helping their community through traditions like "bayanihan". An integrated approach is needed to understand the complete Filipino experience.

Child Slavery
Child slavery is a significant problem in Africa, with over 200,000 children currently enslaved. Many children are trafficked and sold for as little as $5, then forced to work long hours with only one meal per day. They may work on farms or as domestic servants. While parents sometimes sell their children hoping for a better life, the children usually face abuse and are denied education. Ending child slavery in Africa remains an ongoing challenge.

Child Slavey
Child slavery continues to negatively impact many parts of Africa. An estimated 200,000 to 800,000 children per year are trafficked or sold into child slavery. Poverty is a major driving factor, as parents sometimes sell their children for as little as $30 to overcome economic hardships. Once enslaved, children often face abuse and are forced to work long hours in dangerous conditions on farms or as domestic servants with little pay. Though officially banned over 100 years ago, weak laws and enforcement have allowed this practice to persist in many African nations.
