Millions of children are exploited by traffickers for purposes such as prostitution, forced labor, and slavery. Almost every country in the world serves as an origin, transit point, or destination for victims. Learn more about child slavery, where and why it occurs, and how Rotary projects are helping survivors. We’ll also discuss ways to help prevent victimization and how your club can take action.
