Constance Thomas, director of the International Labor Office for China and Mongolia said, "We have always heard the opinions of adults on the protection of women and children, now we need to listen to the opinions of children."
Zhao Shaohua, ACWF vice chairman, said the Chinese government had strengthened international cooperation in its fight against human-trafficking with Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Cambodia.
According to Zhao, the children''s opinions will be submitted to the Mekong Sub-Region Second Inter-Ministerial Meeting and Fifth Senior Officials Meeting which will be held in Beijing in December.
From 1991 to 2000, China launched four nationwide campaigns to address human-trafficking and from 2001 to 2005, the campaigns targeted Guangxi, Henan, Hunan and Sichuan, according to MPS official Yin Jianzhong.
Yin said that, in 2006, human-trafficking cases decreased to 2,100 in 2006 from 2,400 in 2005.
