Child trafficking

Trafficking strips children of their right to grow up in a safe family environment, to enjoy the joys of childhood, and gain in education and health. It undermines efforts to prevent gender discrimination and makes children vulnerable to exploitative life situations.

The reasons for trafficking are many, including sexual exploitation, cheap labour, marriage and adoption. Situations of emergencies, unemployment, migration, and superstitious beliefs like that which hold having sex with a virgin as a sure cure for HIV/AIDS all fuel trafficking.

Children caught in the trafficking net are mentally distraught. Depression and suicidal tendencies are common. There is increasing fear of the link between HIV/AIDS and trafficking becoming stronger, leading to further stigmatisation and discrimination of the victims.

Something must be done about this. This can not go on. Children must learn not to trust anyone they don't know, know matter how "friendly" they appear. Adults must learn to keep a closer eye on the children so that they are unable to make such communications with the outsiders. those who are known as "clients" or customers, are no better than those who control such things. Something must be done to stop this from ever happening to anyone.

Everybody talks about it but nobody turns the words into actions. It's so sad.

In all this game, the devil is losing and at the end will be accused of everything because GOD don’t want any rivals. Conclusion: live at the full in the freedom of GOD (praying in a right form, following the INSTRUCTIONS in the Bible - keeping the 10 commandments - including keeping the Saturday as the 7th day etc.) instead of in the incapacity and limited power of devil because he is just a temporary puppet. Jesus Christ is the savior and hope.
