Child trafficking in the western region of Ghana: perception and views of community members in selected towns
Mensah, Ishmael
ABSTRACT Child trafficking unquestionably jeopardizes individual human rights, national security, and international stability. The general objective of this study was to investigate the perceptions and views of child trafficking in some selected communities in Western Region of Ghana. To choose a total sample size of 100 respondents for the study, a multistage selection methodology that uses cluster, stratified, and purposive sampling approaches was used. In some cases, the snowballing sample method was employed to determine some respondents, particularly trafficked victims, because the issue under inquiry is sensitive. The major research tools utilized to collect data from the respondents were an unstructured interview guide and a self-administered questionnaire. Few governmental entities have clear policies on child trafficking, according to the study's findings. The survey also found that the Western Region's mining and rural areas were both the origin and the destination of child trafficking. It was also shown that due to a lack of technical and logistical resources, the stakeholders have little influence over the prevention of child trafficking. It was consequently advised that since mining, agricultural, and fishing communities were the primary sites of child trafficking in the Western Region, it would be advisable for important stakeholders including the police, chiefs and opinion leaders, and NGOs to double their efforts in these areas.

This diploma thesis examined human trafficking in Latin America focusing on child trafficking in chosen countries and showed the importance of prevention.

Major role is played by parents and teachers who are in daily contact with young people and can help them to develop their critical thinking. Method used in our research include case study approach, more precisely instrumental case study. Using this method, we try to illustrate the phenomena occurring in selected Latin American countries, namely the problem of child soldiers in Colombia, the criadazgo system in Paraguay, Brazil Baby Affair and the problem of illegal adoptions in Brazil, and last but not least, the issue of child sexual exploitation in Venezuela. Since these countries have different experiences and also their will to deal with the issue is distinct, it is not possible to compare their approaches to the problem. Therefore, based on our observations, we have created common factors that may contribute to increasing human trafficking in the region, as well as focusing on the characteristics of society that lead to the primary use of children and women as the main victims of this criminal activity. The aim of the thesis is to...

The child trafficking issues
MAŘÍKOVÁ, Miroslava
Child trafficking is one of the forms of commercial sexual abuse of children which affects children of all ages. As a major issue, I see child labor, sexual abuse, child prostitution and pornography. The children's trafficking is the most widespread in Africa, but it can also be found in the Czech Republic. These issues are very well hidden and often involving customs officers, doctors or truck drivers. Child trafficking is one of the most profitable types of international crimes. Child trafficking is also done by parents themselves, who, in desperation, circumvent the adoption process and are looking for a way to get a child. The bachelor thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part deals with the basic global characteristics of child trafficking and its various causes and reasons of these trafficking. I also describe the various serious issues which are associated child trafficking You can find here also a few organizations which deal with and fight against child trafficking. The theoretical part ends with surrogate motherhood, which is becoming more widespread. The second part of my thesis is a practical part. I have developed this part in qualitative research. It includes a semi-structured interview with five children. Communication partners were used from the sports section. After a theoretical description of the selected strategy, methodology and technique, the sampling description and the research itself are followed. The main objective is to map children's perceptions of Internet risks. The research question focuses on the perception of children and the risks associated with social networks. The work should lead to the provision of understandable information on child trafficking and especially its consequences. The bachelor thesis could help the society to better orient itself in the global issue of child trafficking. The work can also be used as prevention in framework commercial sexual abuse of children for parents.
