Geneva, 12 March 2025 - Without immediate and decisive action, child trafficking will continue to climb beyond today’s already frightening levels, according to a UN report published on Monday.
“Despite a lot of progress achieved in legislation, policy and practices, trafficking in children continue to increase, because the responses are not evolving quickly enough to keep pace with the evolution and scale of the crime," said Dr Najat Maalla M’jid, the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General on Violence against Children.
