IDS 212 Child Trafficking (4)
This course examines child trafficking, or the movement of children for the purposes of exploitation. The course will take a case-study approach using readings and field experiences in a single country to examine the complex factors involved in both the perpetuation of, and attempts to reduce or eradicate, child trafficking. The course will address several forms of child trafficking, including sexual exploitation, forced labor, and child begging. Particular attention will be paid to specific historical, political, and structural features within the field country that enable or exacerbate child trafficking, as well as the relationship between governmental and non-governmental (including faith-based) responses to child trafficking.
