Child trafficking to Saudi Arabia is mostly done with the agreement of parents and their children, according to a new study by the Yemeni Center for Social Studies & Labor Research in the governorates of Hajja and Al-Mahweet.
The study found that 'child slavery is not the work of organized gangs' and that, contrary to the media's depiction, around 94% of smuggling cases arise from the child's desire to sneak into Saudi Arabia to make money. "
