A possible boom in child trafficking in India during the Coronavirus lockdown. #OpDeathEaters indiatoday.in/india/story/co…
In India, a child goes missing every 8 minutes. Many are trafficked as part of a nationwide trade where millions end up in slave labour or as rape slaves. #OpDeathEaters
Traffickers earn up to $300 per child, the child trafficking trade in India is lucrative and—despite some efforts by the government to fight it—thriving across the country. [from video] #OpDeathEaters 
An estimated 135,000 children are believed to be trafficked in India every year from remote rural areas and sold as slaves in cities, often to wealthy families or brothels. #OpDeathEaters theguardian.com/global-develop…
Fear and distrust of the police and officials in India mean children are rarely reported missing for months, or even years, after they disappear.
"Most [police] don't see trafficking as a crime. They just see it as poor children migrating for a better livelihood" #OpDeathEaters
