Our World: Ghana’s Child Slaves

This week on Our World reporter Yalda Hakim is in Ghana, where children are trafficked into forced labour.

Thousands of children work for fishermen on the banks of Lake Volta in Ghana. Many of them are slaves, given away by families who thought they’d get a better life, only to be trafficked into forced labour. Yalda Hakim joins a team who are travelling up Lake Volta to rescue some of the trafficked children, and try to help them rebuild their lives.
