Sale of children for the purpose of forced labour 2016, para. 69
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Children's right to health is also often breached. Forced labour activities are often harmful to the child's physical health, as they involve physical activities or positions that negatively affect their physical development. In some instances, children may be drugged for forced begging. Mental health and self-confidence can also be affected, in light of the numerous vexations and degrading treatments to which children are subjected. Employers may also seriously limit access to health services.
Legal status
