The document discusses the issue of child trafficking in the UK and globally. It states that gangs traffic hundreds of children from Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe into the UK every year to use them as slave labor. The children are smuggled in and put to work in poor conditions where they face physical and sexual abuse. While estimates vary, it is believed that over 1.2 million children globally are trafficked each year, with 35% of all trafficking victims being children. The document calls for stronger national and international measures to prevent child trafficking and protect victims.
