- Summary
- The aim of the research was to understand why some children are more likely to be trafficked than others. Priority is given to children's perspectives as the have an important viewpoint that tends to be ignored in existing studies on this phenomenon. This relates to the failure of many adults, practitioners and policy makers to acknowledge the role of children as social actors who make decisions in their daily lives. For attaining the main aim of the research the following concrete tasks were formulated across the region for all seven research teams: to identify the factors that place children at risk of inclusion in trafficking; to identify the social agents and circumstances able to support children exposed to such risk; to establich the processes and mechanisms, by means of which separate groups of children are included in different types of trafficking; to describe places, situations and agents which create safety and those that create danger; to study the desires of children, the goals they set themselves and tha ways in which they project them in the future
