Human Trafficking & Modern-day Slavery In the early years
of the 21st Century gvnet.com/humantrafficking/Ecuador.htm
Ecuador is a source, transit, and
destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes
of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. The majority of
trafficking victims are believed to be children trafficked within the country
from border and central highland areas to urban centers for commercial sexual
exploitation as well as for domestic servitude, forced begging, and forced
labor in mines and other hazardous work.

– Anecdotal evidence showed that traffickers lured young victims romantically
or with promises of dignified employment and then forced them into
prostitution. Some poverty-stricken parents also sold their children,
wittingly or unwittingly, into prostitution or forced labor in agriculture,
including banana plantations, or mines. Anecdotal evidence
indicated that some of those willing to pay up to $12 thousand to be smuggled
out of the country were also victims of trafficking, and women were
susceptible to sexual abuse by smugglers. Concluding Observations of the Committee on
the Rights of the Child (CRC) UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, 3

takes note with appreciation of the considerable efforts undertaken by the
State party, and the various studies conducted by different institutions
regarding the issue of sexual exploitation and trafficking of children, as
reported by the State party. The Committee expresses its deep concern at the
high number of children involved in commercial sexual exploitation and at the
insufficient measures adopted by the State party in this regard. Smuggled Women, Modern Slaves, Tell Their
