1. Introduction
Child exploitation is a term that includes
forced labor, sexual exploitation,
recruitment of child soldiers or domestic
slavery. Around the world, 85 million boys
and girls are victims of some form of child
exploitation. This is one of the most
serious human rights violations that adults
can cause to girls and boys today.
2. Forms of child exploitation
1. Child trafficking: This business moves a half million euros a year. Poverty,
globalization and the resulting demand for cheap goods and labor have led to an
unprecedented demand for child workers.
2. Sexual exploitation: About 1.8 million children around the world are sexually
exploited for commercial purposes. The majority of them are girls, forced by adults
to practice prostitution or used in the pornographic industry and sexual tourism.
3. Child soldiers: Since wars such as Angola, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone or South
Sudan, children have been used on the front line of battle. Today, 300,000 boys
and girls under the age of 15 are related in some way to the armed forces. Some
are only 7 years old.
3. Consequences

Child exploitation is very bad for boys and girls since it affects them physically
and psychologically. Children can have very serious illnesses or poor nutrition
due to working for a long time and in poor conditions.

It also affects the personal development of children because they do not even
have the love of their parents, in addition they are obliged by their parents
since they have to bring some money to try to survive, also at work they are
treated very badly like grtos or in some cases with physical violence.
4. Thoughts
I think we have to think before acting, we
should also be made more aware of these
things since we have learned a lot about this
issue and it has changed our perception a little
and learn to value things because it seems that
since we already have it we do not value it .
and many times we complain about stupid
things and there are children who are much
worse.
