Sale of children for the purpose of forced labour 2016, para. 68
- 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.

Paragraph
Comprehensive prevention strategies against sale and sexual exploitation of children 2013, para. 57
- Paragraph text
- Poverty is not merely a monetary, absolute concept. Relative poverty emphasizes the fact that poverty is defined within a given context. It highlights the disparities that may exist within the same country or area, in particular between urban and rural areas, but also in the same location. Poverty is further defined in terms of the deprivation of basic needs, such as shelter, water, education, sanitation, information, and health. Poverty therefore stems from a lack of access to social services. It is closely correlated with social exclusion and the inability of the State and community to fulfil children's rights.
