Child slavery

Child slavery means that children have to work under slave-like conditions. Even though-slavery has been abolished, there are still many children with this fate. Many of them live in developing countries. The enslavement of children can be traced back through history. Despite the fact that slavery has been abolished, children continue to be enslaved and trafficked. Particularly in developing countries, this is a problem. Like other forms of modern slavery, child slavery is also often linked to poverty: Families "sell" their children, because they are poor, and often do not see other options. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote about a man who bought a slave woman, just to bear children, which he could then sell as slaves.
