The 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is a human rights treaty setting out the civil, political, economic, social, health and cultural rights of children. The nations that ratified it are bound to it by international law.
One of them is Mozambique. But in fact, the country has developed into a major hub of child trafficking in southern Africa. The children come from Mozambique itself, but also from Malawi, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Roughly two years ago, Mozambique introduced special legal and administrative measures to stop the kidnapping, sale and trafficking of minors, but violations are rarely prosecuted. Global 3000 visits the Maputo Corridor near the South African border.
