One million children are sold into sexual slavery every year, and in many cases the parents have the choice of either selling them or consigning them to death by starvation.

The idea that it is limited by religion or country is astonishing. Not when the corruption becomes incorporated at the highest and richest levels

The difficult news, however, is that, of the more than 300 million economically active children between the ages 5-17, roughly 50 million of them (ages 5-14) are still working in harmful environments.

Human Rights Watch notes these unsafe labor conditions include dangerous agriculture workplaces, bonded child labor (in which a family receives as little as $15 to hand over a child for forced labor), compulsory recruitment for armed conflict, forced prostitution or pornography, the illegal drug trade or other unlawful activities.
