The document discusses child trafficking, defining it as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of a person under 18 for the purpose of exploitation. It notes several forms of trafficking including sex trafficking, domestic servitude, and child labor. The impacts on victims include loss of family/education, psychological trauma and isolation. Causes include poverty, migration, political instability and lack of opportunities. Recruitment methods involve fraud, trickery and violence.
