With the financial conditions of small scale farmers in the state of Assam deteriorating as a result of adverse impacts of climate change, such families have steadily come into focus of child traffickers, who lure such families with hope of good future for their child but finally ends up as domestic workers in far-away towns or sometimes in brothels.
