This edited volume examines child exploitation in the Global South. It introduces several case
studies and interviews articulated around two features: exploitation within the family and
exploitation in relation to social contexts. The research shows that both of the features are
linked and generally they are not separate. It makes several important arguments which
challenge the most common view on how children are perceived and exploited in Africa Latin
America and the Middle East. Additionally it explores the social representation of exploited
children as well as their general well-being.
