Today on the Foreign Policy Association's parent site they ran one of their many analysis pieces, this one was for the topic of Children's Rights. Please see the article, Great Decisions Analysis: Child Trafficking, and their many other great resources and analysis pieces.
To accompany the piece on child trafficking, I wanted to give you some resources, so you could gain a better understanding of the situation of child trafficking and sex tourism. In addition the list will leave you with organizations and ways that you can become involved in the fight to end child trafficking.
