children
around the world are victims of many forms of
violence. UNICEF's Deputy Executive Director,

more vulnerable to violence by traffickers and
unscrupulous individuals who employ them."Because
of poverty, more and more children are being trafficked...
And usually they are mistreated, so this is a
big problem."
