Jada Pinkett uncovers the horrific realities of modern-era slavery in the

U.S., where children are kidnapped and exploited by traffickers. CNN Special

Report - Children for Sale: The Fight to End Human Trafficking.

In places like Bihar, India, child-traffickers know that during the annual

floods they'll be able to approach children who are lost and alone more

easily. They use the subcontinent's vast rail network to transport them

sometimes thousands of miles away from home. They then get sold as brides, put

to work as domestic servants, as prostitutes or as hard labourers.

Roshan, 14, was trafficked to Haryana state, 1000 km from his home as a child

labour stitching, polishing and filling heavy sacks. They didn't pay or feed

him. He was reunited with his family after his village child protection

committee put pressure on the traffickers to return him.

Save the Children's been setting up child-protection committees and safe play

areas in villages prone to flooding in India to warn parents of the dangers

their children face and what they can do to protect them.

After disasters, children are particularly vulnerable. You can help children

to receive appropriate aid and protection in emergencies by supporting the
