South Asian March Against Child Trafficking

Human trafficking is said to be the third largest illegal trade after drug trafficking and arms trade. According to the US Dept. of State's Trafficking in Persons (TIP) 2005 report, an estimated 600,000 to 800,000 men, women, and children are trafficked across international borders each year. Approximately 80 percent of them are women and girls and up to 50 percent are minors. The fight against the inhuman practice of trafficking of persons needs no justification. Especially children at their tender age need to play and study are instead victims of a silent organised crime.
