Measures such as conducting background checks, particularly for employment that involves coming into contact with children, such as childcare workers, should become a mandatory practice.

Sale of children for the purpose of forced labour 2016, para. 95
- Paragraph text
- Many children end up being sold for the purpose of forced labour by traffickers and recruiters they or their parents had trusted in their search for better living conditions. As many children migrate on their own or in the hands of intermediaries or organized groups, it is important to recognize their agency in deciding what is best for themselves, while at the same time providing the conditions for safe migration.

Paragraph
Sale of children for the purpose of forced labour 2016, para. 72
- Paragraph text
- Children's civil and political rights, including the right to information, freedom of expression and freedom of association, are also breached when a child is sold for the purpose of forced labour. The inability to form an association with other children in similar conditions to claim their rights makes children even more vulnerable. Lack of information on existing laws and possible remedies is another factor of vulnerability which impedes redress for child victims.

Paragraph
Sale of children for the purpose of forced labour 2016, para. 71
- Paragraph text
- In situations of the sale of children for the purpose of forced labour, children's right to be heard is seriously undermined, since they are treated as commodities and left with no possibility to choose or influence their lives. Younger children are particularly vulnerable and making them unable to express their concerns is often a strategy used by traffickers to keep control over them.

Paragraph
Sale of children for the purpose of forced labour 2016, para. 70
- Paragraph text
- Children sold for the purpose of forced labour are routinely separated from their parents and families and have little or no opportunity to interact with them. Isolation from the family environment affects children's emotional and intellectual development and well-being. It also undermines children's protective environment and makes them more vulnerable to other violations. However, in many cases parents are engaged in the transaction in which the child is sold for the purpose of forced labour.

Sale of children for the purpose of forced labour 2016, para. 57

It encompasses the individual offenders who offer and receive the child, expecting some benefit through his or her exploitation; intermediaries who service the demand; and the constructs that create an environment in which the sale of children for the purpose of forced labour is either ignored, tolerated or accepted (see A/HRC/31/58).

Sale of children for the purpose of forced labour 2016, para. 33
- Paragraph text
- Child marriage may amount to the sale of children for the purpose of forced labour when the marriage agreement includes a transaction in the form of financial payment or in-kind benefits. In such transactions, children are treated as commodities and exchanged for goods or money, or to settle debts or disputes. A study has highlighted the dynamics that lead children to be sold for the purpose of forced labour under the cover of marriage.

- Paragraph text
- The study concentrates solely on the sale of children for the purpose of forced labour. However, all situations in which children are engaged in harmful work call for responses and accountability measures based on criminal law and policy interventions. Although it can involve situations of forced labour, the sale of children for the purpose of sexual exploitation is beyond the scope of the present study and has therefore been excluded.
