WHY JAMAICAN CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE ARE TEMPTED

Poverty and lack of opportunity are two of the main reasons that Traffickers are able to tempt children and young people with their false promises of riches and better lives. Inequalities affecting women, and parents who entrust their children to others, including those who are better off financially, can also put women and children at risk.

In addition, many youngsters do not believe in their own worth, and do not understand that hard work and consistent effort - keeping on faithfully even when you feel like giving up - DO really pay off in the end.

Remember the old Jamaican saying:
The long way will bring sweat, but the short cut will bring blood!
