This video on the trafficking of children was commissioned by the Austrian Ministry of Youth and Family Affairs in co-operation with the Ministry for Economic Affairs, Division for Tourism, and UNICEF. It was featured in Austrian Airlines' In-Flight Video Program to raise awareness of the problem of child sex tourism.
