Sale of children for the purpose of forced labour 2016, para. 98
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The present study has shown that when harmful practices are socially accepted, protective factors are low and pull factors strong, a child can be sold and exploited in forced labour conditions. Addressing the issue therefore requires comprehensive approaches that take into account the demand factor as well as the specific vulnerabilities of children being sold for the purpose of forced labour, while recognizing children as rights holders, entitled to protection but also to recognition of their agency in function of their evolving capacities.
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
