CHILD TRAFFICKING  AND CHILD ABUSE HAS TO COME TO AN END.

Trafficking in children is a global problem affecting large numbers of children. Some estimates have as many as 1.2 million children being trafficked every year. There is a demand for trafficked children as cheap labour or for sexual exploitation. Children and their families are often unaware of the dangers of trafficking, believing that better employment and lives lie in other countries.

First person: Haiti then and now


First person: Haiti then and now

Skyler Badenoch tells Al Jazeera how the January quake changed the country forever.

Thousands of people from abroad have tried to improve the lives of Haitians after a massive earthquake struck on January 12, killing 300,000 people.

One of them is Skyler Badenoch, who works for Build On, a US organisation that builds schools across the globe.

He arrived in Haiti a day before the quake struck, and has since returned many times.
