SUMMARY:Building Partnerships for the Protection of Children - Johannesburg
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, millions of children around the globe are lured or forced into exploitation. The trafficking in adults and children for sexual purposes is a lucrative illegal business everywhere in the world. Globally\, children comprise nearly one-third of all trafficking victims. In Africa\, nearly two-thirds of victims are believed to be minors. In May this year\, CRES in partnership with Nedbank and the Global Compact Network South Africa hosted an initial business dialogue on how South African business can act against exploitation of children and promote children’s rights in the region. Together with the Global Child Forum\, we are now inviting you to a full day conference on how business can protect children.The conference will feature leading national and global experts from all sectors.
