day is that of human trafficking, especially in children. Thousands of children are given into or tricked into trafficking each year. Money is the big selling point for many children that are tricked into it. Poor children are often roped into trafficking because they believe that they will be able to get money for their families. Children iOne reason that so much emphasis and focus was given to the children’s schooling was the one child policy. In 1979, China adopted this one child policy in which to try and consolidate their population (Carnell, 2000). Couples that agreed to adopt this policy had to sign an agreement with the country and in return their family would receive multiple benefits from the government (Carnell). Therefore, since families were only “allowed” to have one child, all of the parents and extended family’s attention was put on the one child. While some people believed in the new policy, overall it was strongly resisted by the Chinese people. However, the one child policy did appear to give rise to what some countries termed the over 500,000 “‘missing girls’ in China” (Carnell). The thought is that many couples just simply did not report the birth of girls in their homes. Adoptions from China rose during the height of the one child policy. Before the policy was in place, adoptions averaged fewer than 200,000, compared to close to 400,000 during the policy popularity (Carnell). It is believed that adoptions rose because the ratio of boys to girls showed “27 to 36 boys per 100 girls among adoptions” (Carnell). Chinese couples have always been more likely to give their daughters away, but the practice heightened during the one child policy.

Money is the big selling point for many children that are tricked into it. Poor children are often roped into trafficking because they believe that they will be able to get money for their families. Children involved in trafficking can have a number of different jobs ranging from collecting trash for recycling all the way to prostitution (Radio Free Asia [RFA], 2000). “Overseas agencies have identified China as a significant center for human-trafficking, both within its borders and internationally” (RFA). The different reports being done on human-trafficking in China is gaining interest and has already helped start a cross-disciplinary initiative at the rescue center in Xinjiang, China (RFA). Hopefully, the more attention this issues gets the chances will increase in the likelihood of it getting solved.

The children of China are faced with more obstacles than most people realize. In a country that is of substantial size, it is difficult to grasp that the children have fallen between the cracks in so many areas and still suffer great difficulties in this modern age.
