African Children Must Stop!
and deliberate on the subject
Trafficking
of children within and across different borders in Africa is quite common
and well documented. This timely event will examine the extent to which
this phenomenon also occurs in the UK. It will examine the role
of the different African communities in combating the trafficking of children
to the country and in protecting vulnerable African children.
