Borderline Slavery
Child Trafficking In Togo
April 1, 2003

West African governments are failing to address a rampant traffic in child labor that could worsen with the region’s growing AIDS crisis, Human Rights Watch charged in a new report released today.

The report documents how children as young as three years old are exploited as domestic and agricultural workers in several countries.
