Ghana welcomes you

Ghana is a source, transit, and destination country for children and women trafficked for the purposes
of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation. Trafficking within the country is more prevalent than
transnational trafficking and the majority of victims are children.

Both boys and girls are trafficked within Ghana for forced labor in agriculture and the fishing industry, for
street hawking, forced begging by religious instructors, as porters, and possibly for forced kente weaving.

Over 30,000 children are believed to be working as porters, or Kayaye, in Accra alone. Annually, the IOM reports
numerous deaths of boys trafficked for hazardous forced labor in the Lake Volta fishing industry.
Girls are trafficked within the country for domestic servitude and sexual exploitation.

To a lesser extent, boys are also trafficked internally for sexual exploitation, primarily for sex tourism. -U.S. State
Dept Trafficking in Persons Report, June, 2009

 This report is from 2009. Maybe things have changed there now. If not, there goes the hopes this thread had to offer.
