Child trafficking is a form of human trafficking defined by the United Nations as the recruitment, transportation, harbouring, or receipt of a child for the purpose of slavery, forced labour, or sexual exploitation, a definition broader than the same instrument's definition of trafficking in persons generally. Children may also be trafficked into illegal adoptions, which violate child-rights norms including the best interests of the child and the prohibition on improper financial gain; the anti-trafficking organization Love146 has estimated that more than three million children worldwide are victimized in sex trafficking and child labor.
