Transition: Brought into the country under false identities and tricked into leaving their families with the promise of an education and a better future, hundreds of African children are being trafficked into the UK for a life of servitude, according to human rights campaigners. NGOs and human rights lawyers have sounded the alarm over the "invisible children," illegally smuggled into Britain using false visas and documents. Since 2003, 62 cases of child trafficking have been prosecuted, and there are 59 pending. The police do not break the statistics down in terms of ethnicity, but experts confirm that no prosecution has ever been made relating to African children. Recent studies suggest that hundreds of children are brought over from African countries, such as Nigeria, Ghana and Uganda, by highly organised traffickers. Nigeria is believed to be the main source country on the

continent, where destitute families are either paid for their children or persuaded to give them away believing that they will receive an education and a better life in the UK. On arrival, children as young as 10 are kept undercover from British society and forced to work as domestic slaves or prostitutes. Behind closed and often locked doors, they work long days for no money, are kept from school and beaten if the work is not done. The Home Office minister (expound), Vernon Coaker, acknowledged that the Government still had a long way to go in tackling the issue of trafficked children from Africa. He said: "Research suggests that [trafficking] is not reducing in either scale or reach. It's a sad sign of our times that children are still being trafficked to the UK as modern slaves." Mr. Coaker, who has been implementing the UK Action Plan on Tackling Human Trafficking, published earlier this year, said the practice was "a moral outrage," but it would take time for change to happen. "You can't change it overnight, but we [the Government] are also human beings, we also have children, and we're outraged that this happens. We'll do all we can to move this forward as quickly as possible." (quote) More than a third of the 330 children that were discovered to be either trafficked or suspected of being trafficked were African. The survey, which was undertaken over a 10-month period, revealed that 102 west and east African girls were discovered to have been trafficked into the country and enslaved. Government's failure to prosecute the traffickers of African children was just one of the failures of the system. African child slaves have become "the invisible children," passing by police, immigration and social services unnoticed. One of the main reasons why so many cases are disbelieved is the children have been given fake passports and identities, which contradict the true story they try to convey. Add to this a lack of training in recognising victims, and it becomes clear why many of these young people feel so let down by the police and social services they tried to turn to in the days after their escape. Next source Child-trafficking is incrementally spreading across the UK. The reason is basically market forces. With the demise of other illicit commodities' - for example the price of illegal drugs dropping and the penalties increasing - the money in child-trafficking becomes a better business proposition for organised crime. Despite the UK government investing heavily in counter measures, there are very few convictions for child-trafficking in the UK. Also there aren't any figures, so no-one actually knows the scale of child-trafficking, although the children's charities do know that it is increasing.'' In 2007, the UK government announced that 330 child victims of trafficking had been identified over an 18-month period. Of these 183 went missing from social services care. Many experts believe that the numbers of trafficked children in the UK could now be in the thousands. Even if trafficked children are identified, their care and

protection is inconsistent, ad hoc and, in some regions, completely absent,'' she said. There is case evidence which shows children have been trafficked as debt bondage and their documents removed. There are children of 13 or 14 who have been trafficked into cannabis factories, the houses are sealed with the children inside, and these children act as gardeners for the plants. Unicef estimates that about 1.2 million children are trafficked each year and have called this the 21st-century slave trade. Some commentators have pointed out that the numbers of trafficking equal that of the number of slaves brought to America in the 18th and 19th century.The UN says that apart from weapons and drugs, trade in human beings has developed into one of the most lucrative and growing areas of illegal trade.
