  • Human Trafficking in China

    2246 Words  | 5 Pages

    Human trafficking is prevalent throughout the world, especially in Asia and more specifically in China but the government and non-governmental organizations (NGO) are taking measures to put an end to it. Human trafficking involves exploitation of human beings; either sexually or by coercing them to work in unfavourable conditions for little pay or nothing at all. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) defines human trafficking as “the acquisition of people by improper means such as force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them.” Women and children, especially girls between the ages of fourteen and twenty constitute the majority of victims of human trafficking. “China is a source, transit and destination country for human trafficking; the majority of which is internal trafficking” (www.humantrafficking.org).

  • Mistreatment Of Children Essay

    1451 Words  | 3 Pages

    The mistreatment of children is classified by four types of actions: physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, and neglect. Although, in recent years several steps have been taken to prevent the maltreatment of children it seems that child abuse is still prevalent in today's society. Countless children around the world suffer from some form of abuse and in many cases the same child experiences more than one. There is no exact number of victims because it difficult to measure the exact amount of children going through abuse. Child abuse almost always occurs in private, and because abuse is often hidden from view and its victims may be too young or too frightened to speak out, experts in child welfare suggest that its true prevalence

  • Sex Trafficking: A Global Crisis of Modern Slavery

    1465 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sex trafficking is a global issue that involves a form of coerced sexual exploitation, which is not limited to prostitution. Victims of sex trafficking are stripped of their basic human rights and forced to live a life of modern slavery. The U.S. State Department (Stop Child Trafficking Now, 2012) has stated that human trafficking is “one of the fastest growing crimes in the world.” It it hard to put a number on how on many people are living inside the sex trafficking industry for many reasons, one being that not all victims come forward. It is estimated by the U.S. State Department (Stop Child Trafficking Now, 2012) that every year “600,00-800,000 people will be trafficked across international borders, 80% being women and children.” This

    It is the world’s fastest growing global crime. It is also the world’s second largest source of illegal income after drug trafficking. According to the United Nations Office on drugs and crime (2012),”Women account for 55-60 per cent of all trafficking victims detected globally; women and girls together account for about 75% and as many as 161 countries are affected by human trafficking.” It is also believed that the victims arguably come from the poorest countries in the world. One of the main causes of human trafficking is vulnerability. For example, children are more vulnerable to trafficking because of their lack of understanding and experience. Additionally, in certain societies, women are less empowered than men thus resulting in gender inequality both at home and in the workplace. Gender inequality then leads to easy exploitation through the use of force or

  • How Child Abuse and Neglect Affect Childhood

    1844 Words  | 4 Pages

    Child maltreatment can affect any child, usually aged 0-18, and it occurs across socioeconomic, religious, ethnic or even educational backgrounds. Arguably, child abuse and neglect is a violation of basic human rights of a child resulting from social, familial, psychological and economic factors (Kiran, 2011). Familial factors include lack of support, poverty, single parenthood, and domestic violence among others, (McCoy and Keen, 2009). The common types of child maltreatment include physical abuse, emotional maltreatment, neglect, and sexual abuse among others. Abuse and neglect can lead to a variety of impacts on children and young people such as physical, behavioral as well as psychological consequences which will affect the development and growth of the child either positively or negatively based on the environment and agency. More so, emotional, cognitive and physical developmental impacts from child neglect in the early stages of childhood can be carried on into adulthood. Research findings reveal that the experience of maltreatment can cause major long-term consequences on all aspects of a child’s health, growth as well as intellectual development and mental wellbeing, and these effects can impair their functioning as adults. Commonly, the act of abuse/ or neglect toward a child affects the child’s physical, behavioral development and growth, which can be positive or negative, depending on the child’s environment and agency. Another way to understand how the act has affected the child is to look at the child for who they are, and interviewing and observing their behaviors of their everyday life.

  • Declaration Of The Rights Of Children Essay

    643 Words  | 2 Pages

    Before the 19th Century, children were considered “small adults” and Children's Rights were therefore not manifestated or even contemplated. Nevertheless, with the foundation of the League of Nations after World War I, which provided the foundation for the United Nations, more attention was payed to minors within the new international system. Therefore, in 1924 the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child1 defined in five points the fundamental rights of the child. The Declaration tried to ensure the necessities available to every child as the first point states that “The child must be given the means requisite for its normal development, both materially and spiritually;”2 which the following four points further expand on. However,

  • International Human Rights Essay

    1048 Words  | 3 Pages

    Human rights are fundamental by reason of protecting individual’s basic necessities of our everyday lives. However, the international Human rights progress did not exist until after 1945, which occurred post World War II. Before World War II, Sovereignty was the leading force in international relations, which was based on non-intervention. Non-intervention refers to absence of international actors within the “domestic jurisdiction of a sovereign state (Donnelly, 3). As a result of the occurrences during World War II, multilateral actors have complied with the notion of human rights as an issue in world politics. Moreover, the process of developing international human rights was first established by the United Nations, who initiated the Commission on Human Rights. The United Nations drafted the Universal Declaration of Human rights; however, it is a soft enforcement mechanism, which is not a legally binding document because it aims to promote human rights rather than to convict a state that has violated the human rights of their citizens. Although the Declaration of Human Rights is not legally binding it has been influential and had set the standards in international politics. Since the United Nations’ Commission on Human Rights, it has gradually changed into the United Nations Human Rights Council, which was established in 2006. In addition to the UN bodies that help promote Human rights, Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), and among others are mechanisms that aims to advocate for human rights on an international level.

  • The Weak Enforcement Mechanism of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child

    1616 Words  | 4 Pages

    The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, hereafter referred to as ‘CRC’, is the most inclusive legal document devoted to the promotion and protection of children’s rights. Upon ratification, State Parties are supposed to be bound to the CRC through international law. However, as Cynthia Price Cohen (one of the drafters of the CRC) identifies, the CRC ‘does not lay down specific rules with sanctions for noncompliance’. Thus, it is imperative that the CRC have enforcement mechanisms in place to ensure implementation. This essay will discuss how the existing weak enforcement mechanism is hindering the State Parties from reaching the objectives of the CRC.
