Human Trafficking of Children and Youth: Protecting the Most Vulnerable Victims of Violence
- Deadline for submission: May 15, 2019
- Description: This special issue explores the issues of human trafficking as it relates specifically to children and youth victims. Child trafficking victims, whether labor, sex or organ trafficking, come from all countries and all backgrounds, including girls and boys. They span a range of ages and represent a variety of different races, ethnic groups, and religions. Trafficked children brought into the United States may have been lured with false promises of school and/or work with the opportunity to send money back to their families. Some may have been sold by their families who were tricked into thinking life would be better for their child. U.S. born children trafficked within the U.S. have numerous risk factors which include a history of neglect or abuse, low self-esteem, poverty, and foster care placement. This special issue presents the opportunity to examine this issue both internationally and domestically.
