Beg My Child Beg
Trafficking disabled children to beg for a profit in Mecca
The Hajj is being exploited by ruthless child traffickers, who import deformed children from India and force them to beg.
A girl lifts up her skirt to reveal a horrific scar. She was run over by a car while begging at Mecca. Within hours, her traffickers sent her back to work – her new injury attracting generous donations. At least 250-300 children from the North Bengal district of India are sent to beg during the Hajj. Children are beaten if they don’t earn enough and many never return home.
Produced by Manish Choudhary
