Page "Smuggling" Paragraph 24

According to a study by Alternatives to Combat Child Labour Through Education and Sustainable Services in the Middle East and North Africa Region ( ACCESS-MENA ) 30 % of school children living in border villages of Yemen had been smuggled into Saudi Arabia.

Smuggled children were in danger of being sexually abused or even killed.

Poverty is one of the reasons behind child trafficking and some children are smuggled with their parents ' consent.

As many as 50 % of those smuggled are children.

In the Philippines, between 60, 000 to 100, 000 children are trafficked to work in the sex industry.
