Catch Slave Girls of India hosted by Lisa Ling
A view from the front lines of the battle against child slavery
Around the globe, over 200 million children are engaged in child labor, often, doing the most brutal or degrading of jobs. Girls are especially vulnerable. Even in countries as wealthy as the United States, girls face harsh lives as victims of sex trafficking or as migrant workers. Journalist Lisa Ling travels to India, the country with the world's largest population of child laborers to expose some of these situations. We’ll hear the stories of girls forced into labor in their own words. We will meet Shweta and Shilpi, two sisters beaten and abused as domestic slaves, Radha, a girl sold into prostitution to keep her father alive, and Rinku, a 19-year-old crusader who’s escaped the brothels and helps others do the same.
Our journey will take us to the front lines in the battle against child slavery.
