“The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil but by those who watch them without doing anything,” -Albert Einstein. The phenomenon of Child trafficking is not an exception to Einstein’s words. The multiple cases of children being trafficked in the entire world without parental acknowledgement, and cases where children are encouraged by parents or friends into joining exploitative labour is quite unimaginable. Our story today begins in the small southeast Asian country of Thailand, where about 610,000 children are the victim of modern-day slavery. While viewed as a wonderful holiday destination with its picturesque sandy beaches, it is also land that has succumbed to poverty, low level of education, lack of local employment, and where rural background seems to be the main factors that causes child prostitution and trafficking. According to the global slavery index, about 1 in 113 among its 69 million population was prey to human trafficking as of 2018. Victims of child trafficking are often taken by sex trafficking pimps and then sold to individuals or brothels in Thailand. Traffickers can also sell children to individuals who travel to Thailand for child prostitution and will allow the child to leave the country with the individual who purchased them. Both girls and boys, as young as ten years old, are a part of this human trade throughout Thailand. Most of these children are exploited by local men in their communities, and others are also taken advantage of by foreign sex tourists. Some of these children may have five to ten clients per day. Children who are homeless, or on runaways, or abandoned are most likely to be forced into prostitution and are actively recruited by pimps and traffickers. These victims of their circumstance are at a high risk of catching many infectious diseases and sequelae, as well as contracting HIV. These children are likely to have and serious, long-term mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and behavioural disorders. Many of them often feel helpless, damaged, degraded, betrayed, and shameful, and they tend to be at high risk of suicide and post-traumatic stress disorder. They may also sustain injuries, including rape, as a result of violence from pimps, clients, police, and intimate partners. Girls who are forced into prostitution may be physically and emotionally abused into submission. These youths are also beaten to induce miscarriages, a process that is illegal but continues to be practiced openly. The Thai government has imposed laws and fines to stop practices like these such as the imprisonment of two to six years and a fine of 40,000 to 120,000 baht (Thai currency). The USAID Thai contour in trafficking in-person project “works to decrease trafficking and better protect the rights of trafficking people in Thailand by reducing demand for using trafficked labour and strengthening projection systems for survivors.” One of the key goals of the organization is finding and removing the need for these practices. The plights faced by the children in Thailand is struggling to come to an end. Knowing that fact, we can't dedicate all our resources to fighting a single war when we have so many more happening in our neighbouring countries.
