Sale of children for the purpose of forced labour 2016, para. 68
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Children's right to development to their fullest potential is also seriously affected. Children engaged in forced labour do not have access to an adequate standard of living, including appropriate shelter, food, water and sanitation. Those that are sold for the purpose of forced labour are frequently out of school or have no access to education. As a result, they lack access to the skills needed for their development and life options, and are deprived of opportunities to know their rights and develop the competencies to protect themselves from abusive situations.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the sale and sexual exploitation of children, including child prostitution, child pornography and other child sexual abuse material
