Child Labor Exploitation & Enslavement Targeted in New Report by Gospel for Asia

WILLS POINT, TX — A mind-boggling 218 million children around the world are involved in child labor, with millions trafficked in forced labor and the sex trade, according to a new report just released by Christian organization Gospel for Asia (GFA, www.gfa.org).

GFA Founder, Dr. KP Yohannan, calls for people to “pray, engage and act to end the staggeringly evil exploitation of millions of children around the world.”

THE EXPLOITED GENERATION: An estimated 218 million children worldwide as young as five years old are engaged in labor activities, including forced labor, prostitution and pornography, according to a new report released today by Christian agency Gospel for Asia (GFA, www.gfa.org/press/report-child-labor), urging people to “pray, engage and act.”

Bangladesh is top of the list of countries where child labor is most prevalent, followed by Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia and India, according to the report titled Child Labor: Not Gone, But Forgotten, available at www.gfa.org/press/report-child-labor.

“The exploitation and abuse that children face in many parts of the world right now is staggeringly evil and beyond shocking,” said GFA founder Dr. KP Yohannan. “As their struggle becomes more visible via social media and other media channels, we in the West can’t pretend we can’t see what’s happening. God sees each child caught in child labor, slavery and sex trafficking, and he calls every one of us to pray, engage and act on their behalf.”
