Child Slavery Thriving, 6 minutes, 2004 (Ref:
103) |

|
Children as young as
seven are being sold into organised slavery in the
former French colonies of West Africa, in many cases
by their own parents. The traffic in child slaves
from impoverished Benin and Togo to oil-rich Gabon
is highly organised, lucrative and on the increase.
Most of the slaves are young girls, the children of
impoverish parents. Girls are in great demand for
work as domestics and market traders, but frequently
end up in prostitution or sexual slavery, often with
the co-operation of their families. |
