CHILD TRAFFICKING: The best available estimate is that 1.2 million children are trafficked worldwide every year for exploitation purposes such as forced labor, commercial sexual exploitation, prostitution and servitude, among other forms of slavery.

BIRTH REGISTRATION: Every year, 55% of all births in the developing world (excluding China) go unregistered: over 50 million children begin a life with no identity, no rights such as health and education. They are invisible.

VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN: Worldwide, an estimated 40 million children under the age of 15 suffer from violence, abuse and neglect.

Around the world, more than 121 million primary school age children are not in school. About 54% of these children are girls.

EDUCATION: Nearly 115 million children are out of school. Globally, some 54% of the children out of primary school are girls.

HEALTH: More than 10 million children under the age of five die each year. Two thirds of both neonatal and young child deaths - every year, over six million of those deaths - can be prevented.

NOT FOR SALE CAMPAIGN

Not for Sale is a campaign of students, entrepreneurs, artists, people of faith, athletes, law enforcement officers, politicians, social workers, skilled professionals, and all justice seekers, united to fight the global slave trade.

Not for Sale aims to educate and mobilize an international abolitionist movement through the innovation and implementation of open-source activism. Inside the United States, the campaign identifies trafficking rings and collaborates with local law enforcement and community groups to shut them down and provide support for the victims. Internationally, the campaign partners with poorly resourced abolitionist groups to enhance their capacity.
