Many do light or part-time work that can be fitted in around school. But many others are involved in dangerous or exploitative labour that harms their development, wrecks their health and denies them an education. Every year thousands of children are forced to leave home, and moved across national borders to become workers. There has been a huge rise in child trafficking. In some poor areas of the world big, organised networks have sprung up. Girls are particularly at risk of being trafficked and forced into sex work, industrial or domestic labour, forced marriage, the drugs trade, or illegal adoption. Around 300,000 children, some as young as seven, are fighting in wars around the world. Most are boys, but girls are also forced to fight. Girls are often sexually abused and forced to 'marry' adult soldiers. Both government and rebel armies use child soldiers. Some see fighting as the only way to escape from poverty. Even the offer of regular food is enough to make some children sign up. (as i knw, a lot of companies around the world are usin this method... nike, adidas....all these companies hv bn accused of juvenile exploitation. All the shoes n da stuff we use paying 50-100-200-300 euro or dollars; they are done by children in miserable conditions.Try to think)</blockquote>
