 Modern
Day Slavery - Human Trafficking
In the land of India, some traders in
modern day slavery go so far as to snatch children away from
their families, maim them and then force them to beg on the
streets. Doctors who were involved in this "profitable
business" were interviewed and news of these modern day slave
traders and their atrocities has been made public.
These children were
created equal, but they are unfortunate. They are innocent,
but are treated cruelly and sold into slavery. See them once,
and you will never forget them. Once you know their story, you
will never look at them the same way again. You will be
haunted by their eyes, the pain filled look of infant beggars
and child laborers on the streets of India!
This is the story of the street children of
India, millions of little human beings who need your love. They are eleven million! Across the
nation of India, hundreds of thousands of children endure
grave and multiple violations at the hands of these child
slave traders. By the time you finish reading this page,
another child has been raped or sold into prostitution.
 These
children, often abandoned at birth or born to beggars on the
street, are trapped by mafia who abuse them in every form and
fashion. They suffer cruel sexual exploitation, they are
forced to become child soldiers, and their organs are sold
like vegetables in the market. They won't complain, not
because they don't have enough reasons, but because there is
no one to listen to them. They do not have what is required by
the law to build a case - they do not have a place to call
home, a name to associate with a parent, or even documentation
of their existence! They have no record of their birth, no one
to call mom or dad, no knowledge of where the next meal may
come from. For these reasons, they cannot attend school or get
a job to earn a living for themselves.
Millions upon millions of children are lost
among the living. They have been made virtually invisible by
the deepest poverty, denied any official acknowledgement of
their name or nationality, let alone any protection of their
rights. They endure in profound obscurity. The lost children
are the most exploited. They never experience a childhood.
Girls end up in brothels even before they reach school age and
boys are made child soldiers who must rob and kill for the
mafia. There are other children who are not fit for either of
these and end up as bonded workers in the factories,
sweatshops, fields and homes of our seemingly prosperous
globe. They are robbed of their health, their growth, their
education - and often even their lives.
The indescribable anguish that these little
human beings endure calls for a response that is more than lip
service. These millions of starving homeless children have
created a major problem that has huge social and economic
repercussions. They grow and are molded not to become
contributing citizens, but to be commodities that are sold to
the highest bidder. They are the criminals we make, a
liability we create with our own negligence - the street
children of India. The rising number of abandoned and
lost children across the cities of India is not something that
can be ignored any longer. We must act now!
