As a consequence, this problem causes a huge impact on children & family. Trafficking can result in the death or permanent injury of the trafficked child. Moreover, trafficked children are often denied access to healthcare. Trafficked children are also often subject to domestic violence; they may be beaten in order to ensure obedience, leading to severe psychological impacts., communities and nations.
Effects on families are also severe. Some families believe that sending or allowing their children to relocate in order to find work will bring in additional income, while in reality many families will never see their trafficked children again.[2] In addition, UN.GIFT has found that certain forms of trafficking, particularly sexual exploitation in girls, bring "shame" to families.[76] Thus, in certain cases, children who are able to escape trafficking may return to their families only to find that they are rejected and ostracized.[76]
