1. Poverty and Economic Vulnerability Families in poverty often struggle to meet basic needs, making them susceptible to traffickers who promise financial help, education, or jobs for their children in exchange for trust.
2. Lack of Education and Awareness Limited education reduces opportunities and leaves children unaware of trafficking dangers. Families may unknowingly trust traffickers due to misinformation, false promises, or lack of exposure to risks.
3. Conflict, Displacement, and Natural Disasters War, violence, and disasters displace families, leaving children without protection. Traffickers exploit this instability, targeting vulnerable minors in refugee camps or post-disaster zones for recruitment and exploitation.
4. Weak Law Enforcement and Corruption Poor legal systems and corrupt officials enable traffickers to operate freely. Weak enforcement and lack of victim support allow crimes to go unpunished and trafficking networks to grow.
5. Demand for Exploitation Child trafficking persists due to global demand for cheap labor, sex work, and forced marriage. Exploitative industries benefit from trafficked children, creating a profitable and persistent black market.
