Child trafficking has also been shown to have a major effect on communities. If multiple children in a community are trafficked, it can result in the entire community being corrupted, and thus devastated, by trafficking.[2] Social development efforts are hindered, as trafficked children's educations are cut short.[2] As a result of this lack of education, children who escape trafficking may be less able to secure employment later in life.[2] In addition, trafficked girls face special obstacles, in that their prospects for marriage might be diminished if the community becomes aware that they have been trafficked, particularly into sexual exploitation.[2]
