In India, child trafficking involves the recruitment and transportation of them for the purpose of exploitation. This exploitation can be of any type and might also include sexual exploitation. Children are also often sold to traffickers by their own parents.
Children are vulnerable to exploitation due to their age and economic status. Poverty in India is one of the main reasons behind child trafficking. Child traffickers in most cases target children and traffic living in extremely poor economic conditions. Children are sometimes lured by showing educational opportunities and also low-cost abroad education.
Although India has laws to protect children from trafficking, there is still a need for greater enforcement and implementation of these laws.
