More on Slavery

There are four primary areas of slavery into which children, as well as adults, are trafficked (or sold):

 THE SEX-SLAVE TRADE
Primarily young women and children, including toddlers, are sold into pornography and prostitution. There are thousands of these victims enslaved in the United States, Sudan and throughout Western Europe.

CHILD SOLDIERS
In Africa thousands of young boys and girls are forced into military camps where they are trained to fight as rebels and are often beaten, raped, and malnourished, as a means to training children to be young killing machines.
 
 FORCED MANUAL LABOR
There are agricultural and manufacturing forced manual labor camps both in Western Europe and in the USA. 

PROFESSIONAL BEGGING
This is Mafia organized begging. The children are forced into begging on the streets, and they retain none of what they collect. They are often forced to live in sewers, cellars or dark gutted apartments where many of them are crowded into a small room under lock and key with little to eat.

  And those are just four primary groups, there are a lot more.  A couple of sites I found on Slavery: Make way partners (where I got above info), and Women`s rights without frontiers (please be careful on Women`s rights without frontiers, some very graphic photos of whats going on in the world).
