[Christianity Today UK] 13 Oct 2008--Members of Catholic aid agency Caritas from around the world will urge the European Union to do more on child trafficking at a meeting in Paris on 16 October.

Human trafficking is an increasing phenomenon across the world. In 2005, up to 2.4 million people were being trafficked every year, with children among the most vulnerable.

Caritas members will urge the current French Presidency of the European Union to raise awareness among Europeans at the international symposium, "To fight trafficking in children: What to do in the European Union?".
